} INDIANAPOLIS. Aug 14.-Three thous-
and people attended the races today
The track was in excellent condition
and racing was favorable 10 last time
The only reason that faster time was
not made was because the winners
were not pushed harder.
In the go trot for 2-year olds, Wig
gins, Douglass Thomas colt, showed
Itself to be a wonder andh established
Itself as third best colt of the year by
winning in 2:211a. The colt could have
trotted the track in PIG, however, and
Is now looked upon as a coming phe-
nomenon. With harder urging il would
have gone down easily in ZIG.
Thomas also captured the 2:35 pace
with Earlmont, a horse that is looked
upon as having more natural speed
than any other living horse with the
possible exception of Gentry. He was
placed in the 2:10 list today and reduc-
ed his record to 2:0924 which lowers
IL one-half second. That he could have
gone today in 2:06 was apparent TO all.
The 2:27 trot was won by Franklin
without trouble and closed the pro-
gram.
Great interest is being manifested in
the 2:09 pace which comes off Friday
between Frank Agen and Fidol Cole
ridge will not start. Agen'S new owner
said today that he would go three heats
better than 2:O5 and a sensational race
Is expected. 1t would not cause much
surprise to see the race record OF last
year eclipsed. Summaries:
