CLEVELAND. OHIO, July 3f.-Fifteen
Thousand people saw Frank Agan win the
greatest pacing race of the year at the
GlenviIle track to-day. He defeated Rob
ert J., Joe Patchen and Badge in straight
heats. Not only this, but they saw him
twice lower his own record and incl
dentally the pacing record of the track.
The free-for-aIl pace was the second on
to-dey's card. The entries were Joe
Patchen, Robert j., Frank Agan, Badge
and Rubenstein. The betting was very
heavy. In the auction pools Robert J.
sold for 500 10 $500, Joe Patchen brought
$50 to $75, while the field sold at $50 down
to $25.
Agan won the first heat rather easily,
but the second heat was sensational.
Agan led all the way, but was given hard
drive by Patchen, who held his nose at the
bay staIIion's neck, forcing him 10 pace
the last quarter at a two-minute gait.
Coming to the wire Agan made great
spurt, getting a lead of more than
length, which Patchen reduced TO neck
at the finish. Time, 2:04.
From the first turn in the third heat
Agan and Patchen raced as pair.
Rounding into the stretch Geers called on
Robert J, who responded nobly, but the
call came too late. The geIding. however,
succeeded in passing Patchen and finish
ing little ahead of his old rival and gave
Agan a close call, the latter winning by
head. Time, 2:04s4.
Previous to to-day's race the track
pacing record stood at 2:041I, made by
