McHENRY, ILL. fiNurtf FtoUhMt ' 1 ! .,U i V ' " ' THE NEWEST AND fttSTter GROWING MIWIIEST Coonhound field trials, the newest sport in the Midwest, has been glowing in popularity the past few years, chiefly because it has » distinct advantage over other kinds of dog trials in that it may be controlled completely. The hounds In these trials are carefully trained and handled since t h e p r i z e money is subs t a n t i a l and rivalry between owners Is keen and exciting. Trials, staged even on . _ „ « local scale, VithHRrrffir Will frequently torino M«WS Bureau draw entries from neighboring states, and the large sectional and national trials have as many as six to seven hundred entries. It Is not unusual to find West Coast coonhburxi enthusiasts running their dogs in trials as far east as Ohio many times "Down Easterners" may be met Vay out west in Kansas. Audience participation has added a new zest to the trials. Each heat, with ten to twelve dogs, is actually a race in itself, with the winners meeting in the grand final, in the race for the big money. Prizes are awarded on the basis of (1), the first dog to run between two flags placed at a given distance from the tree In which a live coon has been placed called the "line winner," and (2) for the first dog to bark up the tree at the coon termed the "tree winner." It is possible for a dog to win both. Before each heat, the entries are "auctioned off" with the spectators, as well as the handlers, bidding for the dog on "the line" and "to tree." The bidders whose dogs win in each phase collect the pool. Many times an owner will not meet the price bid on his dog and some spectator ends with money on someone else's bound. Selecting a dog in this Calcuttalike pool requires skill and judgment and many avid coonhound fans soon learn to evaluate a dog on his past performances as well as their opinion of what makes a good "line dog" or a good "treer." may be fast but wont have the "nose" for following the track. The heats are run over a course ranging from a mile to two miles, ending at the tree within full view of the spectators. A coon scent in a bag is dragged over the course, or track, with a fresh trail for each heat. Both "tree" and "line" winners in each heat are eligible for the finals when the big prize money is at stake. Some trials have cash prizes for each heat, while in the smaller runs, heat winners are usually awarded ribbons. Every week-end, from early spring until late fall--while the* hunting season is closed--coonhound fans gather to pit their dogs against each other and vie for success in selecting good cooners. The trials have an appeal for young and old alike and many times the family "makes a day of it." Luncheon and refreshments are as much a part of the trial as the running of the heats. Between Dogs have nam ben painted on their sides for *«iek snd accurate ideatificatioa by Hit jodgs*. Many times, Hie younger members of Hie family help "dad" with handling his dogs at field trials. It makes little difference as to the types of dogs entered and little importance is placed on breeding or registration. The four breeds generally accepted as "coonhounds" include the Black and Tan, the Bluetick, the Redbone and the Treeing Walker. Crosses between these breeds are rated highly by some, while others try to get a strain of Greyhound or Whippet blood in their hounds In an effort to develop a fast "line dog." Many times these folks are disappointed as their "hybrid" Selecting a dog in the pool requires skill and judgment.

Family participation includes handling dogs by the youngsters, especially when owners enter more than one hound in the trial. Rules prohibit more than one dog per owner per heat, but it is not rare to have two or three hounds in the finals, owned and handled by the same person. Professional handlers seldom are found among coondo# men, since half the sport is training and handling the dogs. The sport is not one to require heavy capital investment in dogs, like some types, so handling coondogs is readily adapted to a "family hobby." The dogs are generally classified, when drawn by lot for the heats as "senior dogs" for those hounds which have won a final; "junior dogs," con* sisting of the group which have won heats, but not finals, and "green dogs" for those yet to earn a ribbon for either "line" or "tree" In a field trial heat. Records are maintained by county- wide coonhound clubs, state groups and several national associations, with three publications covering the field, "The American Cooner," "Pull Cry" and "Mountain Music." In addition to trials staged by coonhound clubs, manjf organizations utilise this new sport as a money raising project, taking a small percentage to cover expenses with a slight margin for profit. On the average, 25% of the money bid o» each heat is retained by the assocife. tion to cover expenses, while entry fees are used to make up the purses for the final winners.
