Sport Briefs By JACK SULLIVAN Canadian Press Staff Writer 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.
