BO0KIES AT WORK.
The Cleveland Races Getting
Back to Old Style.
Sport of the Best With Good Finishes
and Lower Records.
Driver DuntIey Seriously Injured at Old
Saugus Track.


the Glenville track by Mayor Golf,
handbooks were operated, today. and
many wagers We're made, the book
makers passing out to their patrons
small blue tickets. No arrests were
made, as the work was done very
quicly and without the sanction of the
association. The sport was of the best,
despite the special absence of betting,
fast time being made in all of the con-
tests while close finishes were in Or
der in three of the events.
The first race, the 214 trot, went to
Billy Buck without much effort, the
gelding apparently outclassing ibis
held. In the 2.23 race, Elastic Pointer
won without difficulty, although he was
forced to reduce his record from 210 to
2.C6k. Fanforan proved the best of a
field of II in the 2.17 trot, taking the
second and third heats, the first being
won by Bernalda. Joe Pointer had the
speed of the 2.09 PAGERS and reduced his
record to 2.05A, thus making him the
fastest son of the champion PAGER, Star
Pointer.
The first heat of the PIG pace pro-
duced the best finish of the day, the
first four horses finishing abreast in
what appeared to be a dead heat. The
judges gave it to kingmore, who had
started way behind the field and won
out in the last stride. In the second
heat spill occurred in which Hal Pa
iron, John w. Patterson and Queen of
Spades went down. The accident was
the fault Of the driver of the Queen OF
Spades and the other two were allowed
to start in the last heat.
Lou Dillon will try to beat 2.031A,
