Hastings, returned from Columbus this
morning. The animal will be given
several days work on the Fountain
park track before beginning his cam.
paign.
Akron horsemen expect great things
from Hastings this year. He has no
mark and is therefore eligible to the,

he can cover mile in a very short
space of time and that he possesses the
staying qualities of a long drawn out
race. In his preliminary work at CO.
lumbus he went quarters close to 80

HE'S A WONDER,
Tommy White has the following to
say in reference 10 Terry McGovern's
tactics and hitting;
"Once In while would stop him
with my left, but the blow would only
make him come ut mG all the harder,
and every time amy of his blows land.

was certainly "a corker. II caught me
on the left ear, and think | can safe
