LONDON. Oct. 25 —(CP)- Grey- hound mcing dog owners are hav- ing their troubles. A few months ago they were battling the dog- rioping gangs; now thtrdiogs are being stricken with an illness that has baffled veterinarians.

Frank Butler. sports columnist for the London Daily Express, made independent; check-ups when Yard- ley Whistler, $14,000 Irish dog, and Quarc Times. said to have been valued at $401700 were scratched from the heats of an important race at Wembley Stadium. ,

l-le found that Wembley was the worst-hit track in the country. with between 30 and. 40 dogs in isolation. The track veterinarian believed it was a germ that entered the blood- stream,

"It is similar to the three-day ‘flue that strikes humans," he quot- ed the vet as saying. "The sick dogs get only the slightest temperature. and although I examine them four or five times on the day they are racing lt,1-s possible for a dog who appears normal to go sick soon afterwards." ,

A trainer at another London track who had seven “patients.” said he was alarmed at first. “i thought someone must have interfered with the dogs, but as it is almost im- possible for an outsider to get at my kennels. I realized it was a germ."

Meanwhile, the National Grey- hound Racl-ng Society is making extensive tests in efforts to discover the cause of the illness.

Will Decide 0n Boxing Title iiolders

(By The Canadian Iron)

MONTREAL, Oct. Sl-Ilhe con- tentious question of who holds Canadian professional boxing tit- les will be on the agenda of the Canadian Boxing Federation at a meetin, here next week.

Frank Hogan, Federation presi- dent. sald the ‘welterweight and lightweight crowns. won recently from Dave Castilloux of Montreal by Johnny Greco and Danny Webb, respectively. would be dis- cussed ln addition to other ‘dia- puted title-s.

The Oastilloux-Greco fight was a Iii-rounder, compared with the l2 rounds normally fought in title bouts, and Castilloux was over the lightweight limit for his bout with Webb.

These facts led some boxing of- ficials to question whether the fights should stand as title bouts and this will be among the ques- tions discussed at next week's meeting.
