-CIark's Horse Review: "Sinc
the Lexington association has barre'
Hal Pointer and Direct in the free
for-all, there is serious talk OF
match between the two creates
PAGERS in all the land. There
among hOrsemen strong desire t
see them come together In n single
handed battle for supremacy. /
would be war to the knife, and TN
knife to the hilt, and with both TN
mighty wigglers in form it would b
the greatest race ever seen. Pointe
has been considered invincible, but h
has never met a horse like Direct
and the possibilities of beating hin
, are by no means small. What DireC
has done every one knows. He la
paced a mile in 2:06, last half in / 20:
last quarter in 32l5 seconds. Ha
Pointer has paced in a race in 1908
but no one doubts his ability To z
faster. How much, no one knows
All question of gameness OF bot
horses is set aside; it IL a fact estat
liahed. But it is not in the matter {
speed or stamina alone that the cor
test would be unique. Hal Pointe
has always had his own way. III
has usually gone to the half his Ow
clip and then paced home like a cy
clone. YolO Maid had wonderful
speed, but was determined to go ava
with such rush that either she mus
exhaust herself in a wild rush
the half or be pulled so as to ammo
her. She would go to the half |
1:O313 or |: 04, while Pointer woul
go in | :06 and come home in :O1
With Direct all this would be differ
ent. He is the most cOntented littl
caap in all the world, so he get
enough to eat. 1t il all the same
him whether he goes to the half /
l :09 or | :07 or in :04, and IN eithe
case he will come home dead game !
1902. On Monday he went to the ma
in :0715 and came home in l :02, la
, quarter in 32% seconds. On Frida
Of the same week he went to the ha
in :O4 and came home in l :02. Geer
in speaking of this said: ayes, but h
, did it on u kite-shaped track, an
that is two or three seconds fas:e
than a regulation" The fact il
Direct cares very little about turf
so he gets good, smooth, hard, eve
footing. The theory of the rae
, would be to go with Direct just 8
Hal Pointer went ali the way throug
the mile. Pointer thinks nothing {
going to the half in l :05 or 1:06 ali
coming the last quarter in 81 or 81
seconds. How he would like to &
, in :O4 and the last half in 1:O2, wit
the last quarter in 80 seconds is yet
: be discovered. One thing more abOU
Direct, he has not yet learned what
break means. 1t would be a grei
race, and at the finish it would be
black and bay streak coming dow
g the stretch" p. S.-Since the abOv
was put in type it has been posltivel
decided that the great race referred
will be paced on the TeTre Haul
track, Oct 6th.-ED.
