INDIANAPOLIS, Sept IS. - The
worlds race record was broken here
this afternoon by Star Pointer in a
match race with Joe Patchen. The
weather was perfect for the contest be-
tween the kings of the turf. There was
but one heat of the race to be finished,
each having taken heats on the after
noon previous, the race going over on
account of darkness.
The track was the best it has been
during the week, and the horses We're
both fit for the race of their lives. In
fact, every condition indicated that the
record of 2:0113, held by Patchen and
John r. Gentry, would be smashed.
The vast crowd was not disappointed
They saw a mark that will no doubt
stand for years-2:01. Had the black
fellow not faltered bit at the head of
the stretch, even lower time would
have been recorded, as Pointer finished
strong, with three open lengths of day
light between them.
Patchen had the pole, and he set a
fast clip to the quarter mile, which was
passed in 0:29H. Those who were hold
ing watches on the noble pair were pre-
pared from this for a mark that would
startle the world. Patchen was leading
to the back stretch by a length, when
McCleary urged Pointer on, and he re-
sponded nObly. He crawled up inch
by inch, and in a few seconds a blanket
would have covered the pair
The stride to the half was a beauty
Pointer passing the pole a neck in front
of the black fellow in exactly one min
ute from the time the word was given.
From this point he gained, little by
little, until the three-quarters, which
was made in 30 Dickerson urged Joe
on, and the noble animal responded, but
though he gained slightly. Pointer
moved along like a piece of machinery
in his steady gait, that meant for him a
victory.
Down the stretch Dickerson applied
the whip to the white-nosed favorite,
but Pointer gained steadily. McCleary
laid the whip lightly from the last
eighth in, and passed under the wire
in the remarkable time of Dol winning
the 81, 600 purse. Had Patchen fought
him clear out, as he did for the first
half-mile, the coveted two-minute race
record would without doubt have been
| touched.
