clist, created TWO new records at the

Two sessions were hell yesterday. AS
only the heats preparatory to the great
contests Of wednesday and Thursday
were to be run, put small crowds were
present; uweuty-four heats were run iu
the morning aud twonty-two in the
afternoon, all in q surprisingly short
sdace of time. IL was In the third
heat OF the one mile handicap In
the morning hours that Sanger
appeared on che scratch. There wa. u
fold of fourteen starters ahead OF him,
e. A. McDuffee having forty five, A. w.
Warren sixty and Titus sixty i've yards.
At the pistol shot Sanger was of with
surprising speed, u at the quarter was
rapidly moving down his men. But
there were many good riders with long
marks, aud Sanger was forced to ride all
the way. His first half was done iu
1:04 1-5. with n half dozen to pass yes. AT
the last quarter he was still nth, but
after rounding into the long straight,
TOOK the lead. Then only did he let up
on his terrible gait. aud careful watching
Titus under his arm. he crossed the tape
but q length ahead of the little flyer, In
the remarkable time of 2:0S 1-5. He had
set very inch of the pace, and ridden a
duplicate of his great race at Milwaukee,
q month or more ago, when he did 1909 4 5
