In the half-mile open, class B. was
witnessed one of the most exciting
races OF the day and the time, 1.1425
was good considering I'm accident
which happened early in the race.
There were six starters. Mclaughlin.
of Columbia. as usual got the hest OF
the pistol and at the first turn WAS fif-
teen yards 10 the good when boy
standing near the rail was struck by
McLaughiin's handle bar and toppled
over on the track He quickly re
gained HIS feet and acurried off the
track. Mclaughlin kept pumping
along and gained several more yards
on the field. The others had noticed
the collision and slowed up Going up
the back stretch the Columbia man
was easily thirty yards to the good of
Stenson and Brandt who were leading
the others. Taylor and Murphy were
last in the order named Before the
last turn was reached they opened
throttle and entered the stretch fourth
and third. Mclaughlin gave up the

The Wilkes Barre cohorts went mad
with JOY when Keller. to whom they
pinned their faith, won the Glass A,
two mile handicap, from Lewis, of
Swarthmore, 10y hair-breadtb, There
were thirteen starters and the first
mile was slow and on the waiting order,
but the last thTee-quarters would have
made Snapper GGIrison's hair curl. 1t
looked IN the earlier stages of'the race
as though the Handicapped had over
reached himself. The field was di-
vided into two distinct lunches for
the first mile and a quarter with Stev-
ems. OF Reading; James, Wilkes Barre
and Lewis, of Swarthmore, as leaders
of the first division. No material
change was made until the baokstretch
in the last half was reached, when
Keller, who had acquired the open,
tore away from the second bunch and
played tail end in the-follow- your.
leader game into the stretch. Lewis.
of Swarthmore, was with Keller and
could not be shaken more than foot

TITUS EXHIBITION MILE
Taylor, who was carded to ride an
exhibition mile with pacsmakers to win
a 500 diamond If better time than 2;1C
WAS mado. was unable to ride and
Titus took his place. The result wa.
2:11 4-5, but he would have been al
least one second better if Stenson, the
third quarter pacemaker. had made a
better pickup. Mclaughlin paced the
first quarter, Brandt the second, Stem
son the third and Allen the last. The
two former set q cracking pace
and Titus was going stroug until Sten.
son picked him up on the third quart
er. Stenson was slow and took fifteen
yards to get the lead. He tried to
make it up before meeting Allen at the
head Of the stretch, but the damage
had been done. Allen was in trouble
a furloug from the finish and Titus
passed under the wire alone. His time
of gil 4.5 was much better than ex-
pected Of him, considering his weary
pacemakers.
