plenty of takers for both ends. Two
pools of $4,000 to $3.50 each were sold,
Andy Welch taking the long end, and
j. Murphy, of Chicago, the short.
Fully 100000 went into the box before
the bell tapped. The word was given
first time down, Pointer having little
the best of it, Starr having nodded for
the word. Geers followed his tactics of
yesterday, allowing no lettering by the
way. The first quarter pole was passed
in 331 seconds. No change of position
to the half in 1:054; the down-hill
eighth the pace is quickened, and Is
seconds marks the rate. TO the three
quarter in l 81, and Starr begins to ply
the whip. The stallion gamely answers
the call, and they turn into the stretch
az
A Terrific Burst,
Pointer answering easily every effort of
Direct. The black stallion is game, but
nature cannot stand the clip. They go
under the wire with Geers' head turned
watching Direct. No pools were sold
on the last heat. The conclusion has
forced itself that Pointer is unbeatable.
The second score they got the word.
Pointer, with his ears laid back,
was the personification of de-
termination. Geers carries Direct
wipe at the turns and gives him a long
mile. At the quarter in 1881, Direct is
a length back, Starr evidently holding
back for brush. The same position is
maintained to the half in 1:07 and the
three-quarters in 1:40. Starr now raj
lies the black horse with the skill of a
master relnsman. He is on to Pointers
wheel at the turn for home. At the
distance Direct falters, but Starr gath
ers him up and with great drive tries
in sheer desperation for the heat. There
is no use. Pointer has speed and en-
durance to spare. The track is judged
by experts to be fully TWO seconds slow,
and the conditions were IN favor of
Pointer.
