Louis Tracks.

CLEVELAND, July 31-Fffteen
thousand people saw Frank Agan win
the greatest pacing race of the year to-
day at the Glenville track, defeating
Robert J., Joe Patchen, Badge and Ru-
bernstein in straight heats. Not only
this, but they saw him lower his own
record twice, and incidentally the pac-
ing record of the track.
The free for all pace was, the second
on to-day's card. The entries were Joe
Patchen, Robert J., Frank Agan, Badge
and Rubenstefn. The betting was very
heavy In the auction pools Robert J..
sold for 800 to $500, Joe Patchen
brought $50 to S75 while the field sold
a $50 down to $25.
Agan won the first heat rather easily
IL 2:05
The second heat was the most sensa-
tional. Agan was in the lead, but was
given a hard drive by Patchen, who
held his nose at the bay stallion's neck,
forcing him to pace the last quarter at
a two-minute gait. Coming to the wire
Agan made a great squirt, getting a
lead of more than a length, which Pat
chen reduced to a neck at the finish.
Time-2:04
From the first turn in the third heat
Agan and Patchen raced as a pair.
Rounding into the stretch Geers called
on Robert J., who responded nobly but
the call came too late. The gelding,
however, succeeded in passing Patchen
and finishing a little ahead Of his old
rival, and gave Agan a close call, the
latter winning by a head Time
2:O4%.
Previous to to-days race the track
pacing record stood at 2:041la, made by
Joe Patchen here last year. Summa-
ries:
