COLUMBUS, Ohio, Aug. 1.-The
day unearther job in the $4,000 stake
for 20 PAGERS, and by prompt action
saved innocent spectators who had
backed the field by a large sum of
money. Severe punishment was melted
out to the guilty party, Driver Tom
Stuard, and the horse Elderone being
suspended for one year.
The 2:20 peace was the feature of a
good card. There were six starters,
but Greenline and Elderode were con-
coded to have the race between them.
Greenline won the first heat with ease
in 2:09k, slow time over the track,
which was lightning fast. The second
heat was race in itself and was won
by Elderone. who paced a beautiful
mile in 2:05A, cutting his record by
four seconds The original betting was
Greenline. 500, and the field, $50. Ell
derone's showing in the second heat
produced the desired effect on the odds,
which now switched to $50 on Green
line and $50 on the field. The third
heat went to Greenline in 2:10A; Stu
ard making no effort with Elderone.
When the horses came out for the
fourth heat the judges ordered Stuard
out of the sulky and put Valentine, a
local trainer and driver, up behind Ell
derone. Elderone took the fourth heat
in 2:06A without pacing Greenline in
the stretch. In the fifth heat Elderone
went to a break in the first turn and
could not be set to pacing again. He
finished behind the flag with broken
hopple, which investigation showed had
hQpn 1oh 1o efo
ed. The judges declared all bets off,
placed Elderone fourth, instead of dis
tanced in the last heat suspended Stu
ard and the horse Elderone for one
year and fined Hudson $10O for not
trying to win the last heat with Terti-
men. Valentine was awarded 5000 for
driving Elderone, the amount to be
taken from the horses share of the
| purse. Elderone is the PAGER who fin
| ished second to Direct Hal in the
| Chamber of Commerce stake at Detroit
and again at Cleveland. He had a
| world of speed today and should have
beaten Greenline.
The 2:10 trot went to Waubun after
seven hard heats. The gray gelding
was favorite at 500 to $40. Bad
! breaks put him out of the first two
| heats, but he stayed long enough to
land first money. The two short races
were won by Klondike and Chase in
! straight heats. The feature of the
closing day of the meeting will be the
attempt of Dan Patch, 2:03%, to beat
| 2:01A, the record of his sire, Joe
Patchen.
