STAR POINTER THE WINNER.
Defeats Patchen in Straight Heats
at Washington Park.


at Washington Park.
There were $1,000 people at Washington
Park, Chicago, Saturday afternoon who
saw the fastest first heat ever paced and
perhaps the fastest fourth quarter. The
chief event on the card was the match be-
tween Joe Patchen, 2:01K and Star
Pointer, 2:01N. The toss Of coin gave
Patchen the pole for the first and third
heats. Star Pointer, Notwithstanding this
advantage, won all three heats handily,
outfooting the black horse.
First Heat-They went away together.
Rounding the first turn Patchen was
length ahead. The first quarter was COW
cred in :So16, 300 gait. The half was
done in loo fiat, and the three-quarters
was passed in l:82h. At that point
Pointer, travelling on the outside, had
fallen an open length behind Patchen.
Swinging into the stretch McCleary called
on the bay horse, and he responded gamely
with one of the greatest bursts Of speed
ever seen on trotting track. Steadily,
inch by inch, he crept up on Patchen.
Curry shook up his horse and laid the lash
on hard. He responded nObly and let out
another link, pacing like well balanced
piece OF machinery, but he could not shake
off his antagonist. Pointer crept up
slowly and finally past Joe in the last half
dozen strides, going under the wire vim,
ner of the heat by nose. The time for
the mile was 200 fiat, and first heat rec
ord was marked up.
The strength with which Pointer finished
in this heat made it almost a foregone
conclusion that he would win the second
heat and the race. When they were given
the word they went away at evens, but
Pointer was never headed, winning Ey
two open lengths in 2:041a.
The third heat was REPETITION of the
second and was made in 2:04.

damage to the members of the Cherokee
commission should they enter an agree

full lest the full bloods will arise in arms
and prevent any action.
