TERRE HAUTE, IND, August H.
Three new worlds records fly tonight
at the masthead over the Terre Haute
track.
Baron Wilkes two.year-old colt, Oak
land Baron, went the second heat In
the $50 trot ia 2:l6 thus lowering the
worlds record made by Boreal on Mon
dayl4 seconds. de had TO fight for 1t
with the good colt Axworthy, by Ak
tell, the latter finishing but head be-
hind.
In the free-for-all trot, a mark was
made that is likely 30 show for many
long day. The track was just right
and it was dead racing day, not
breath of air stirring. Pixley was bad
actor aud 1t took a dozen
scores TO get the field away, with Ry-
land T TWO lengths back. The ldahe
geiding trailed 10 the nalf, where Stew
art began 10 drive for the mare. He bad
laid back too long, but even as IL was,
the geldlng of uncertain breeding did
the last halt in l:0IlG. "Sweet Little
Alix" finished within herself in 2:06.
! the third quarter being done at q two
minute clip. Ryand T., was good
second choice In the second neat, some
thinking he was In form TO do mile in
2:O5 or better. Again he got away be-
hind, but went out 10 do battle from
the half, going the third quarter In 20
seconds. With all that. he could not
reach the mare, and she finished just
as strong as before In 2:06l4. Distance
was waived in the last heat, Monroe
! Salisbury instructing Mcdowell 10 drive
Allx her best clip. This time Ky land
| T. went to bad break and there was
nothing to brush the mare in her
supreme effort. She went on her
courage and was at the half in l:04,
the last half being done In l minute
aud three-fourtns OF a second. IL was
the fastest mile ever gone in race and
away below the record for thirf heat.
The average lrst three heats, s-05 a-6,
| Is far below that ever gone heretofore
in either pacing or trotting race.
The first and last events on the card
were the sensations, the 2:l2 pace, 2:15
pace and 2:l5 trot paling into insig
cance beside the other performances,
| although the trot witnessed another
downfall for the much touted Azote.
! Monroe Salisbury will have Alix start
here during the races next month TO
beat the record held by Nancy Hanks.
