He Beats True by Leaving Him at

The 1co-yard foot race between Sandy"

terday afternoon, was easily won by the
Latter. True was not in knights class as

There was a large crowd at the track
10 witness the race. and some money was
put up on the result True is said 10 have
been backed for $500 by Frank Smith and
Knight by Frank Britain. OF Vancouver
for the same amount. But the contest did
not prove interesting because of the great
superiority of knight.
The start was a mutual consent affair
which Knight seemed to understand bet
ter than his opponent They jockeyed at
the Inc for almost an hour, the rule be-
ing that when both men were over the line
the race had begun. knight maneuvered
until he got True over the mark in an I'M
steady position. and then he jumped out at
a fast pace. He left True some twenty
or twenty-five feet at the post and there
was no chance for the Seattle boy 10 catch
up. knight finished In eleven seconds. but
he was not going at his best pace.
A purse of $3l was made up by those
present for another race of fifty yards. in
which were entered knight. True. Allan.

the money, with True second.
