Carried Over Until Today.-A Good |
Green One Developed in the Last
Race.
The second day of the race meeting
furnished sensations without number.
An ugly accident occurred in the fifth
heat of the 2:2S trot which had been
carried over from the day before. The
judges got an idea that the owner of
Miss Much was not driving her to win
and they put the veteran reinsman
Dave Muckle of Cleveland into the
sulky. He started out and made a
fight for first place and was coming
down the stretch on the last round,
when Miss Much was noticed to stag
ger and swerve and then fell dead
upon the track. Right behind her
came Carl Actell at high speed Muckle
was thrown over the fallen horse and
alighted upon his hands and knees
right at the mares head.
Carl Actell could not be stopped and
plunged right over the fallen horse and
sulky, his knee striking Muckle on the
side Of the face and head, spinning
him around, and knocking him sense
less across the dead horses neck The
wheel of the sulky also struck him, but
did little damage.
A number ram to the PROSTATE man
and picked him up He was rendered
unconscious by the force of the COLI
sion and nearly every one who saw the
accident thought that he had been
killed. A hurried call was sent for the
ambulance, but before it arrived Mr..
Muckle had regained consciousness.
His injuries we're quite severe. but not
dangerous.
Muckle is one of the best known
drivers in the country and is more thai,
q 60 years Of age.
The dead horse belonged to Mrs. G.
G. Deible, of Youngstown, and she was
upon the track about as soon as the
horse fell. The animal never moved
after it dropped. The body was hauled
away and the race went oE.
CARL ACTELL WON.
In the 2:2S trot carried over from
Mondays card, it took three heats to
decide who should have the money
Last Bell had won two, and Carl Ac-
tell one the day before. Last Bell
seemed to be stiff from the exertion
OF Monday and finished fifth in the first
heat Tuesday. Actell won with some
thing to spare. In the fourth heat
Miss Much fell dead and Pat Anikin
won the heat. In the next Carl Ac-
tell Won and that gave him the race.
Last Bell got second money, Pat AMI
kin third and A. A. fourth. The time
for the three heats trotted Tuesday
was 2:24k, 1927 and 2:25. The owner
of the mare Miss Much claimed that
her horse was driven to death, but the
heat was the slowest Of the race, be-
ing In 2:27.
MONEY BURNED.
1t was the 2:20 pace that gave the
Cantonians palpitation of the !eart.
Everybody was picking King Daniel t.
win. So much money went into the
pool box on the horse that an effort
was made to get Billy Reynolds to
agree to let Allie Walters drive This
did not suit Reynolds and in order TO
make their money sure c. G. Horton
bought the horse for $500 and put
Walters up. He won the first heat in
2:27A, but the next time out Bon
Czar went to the front and chased
King Daniel every inch Of the mile
being assisted by all the other eight
horses. There seemed to be combi-
nation to beat the Canton horse and Il
worked. The next heat they crowded
In around Walters and kept him bac!s
in pocket until he saw 1t was useless
to try for place, and he laid up the
heat, finishing ninth.
In the next heat he started out to
make drive right from the start, bu,
the crowd did not let him through un-
til on the last turn. He started after
the heat, but although he came fas,
down the stretch he lost by less than
three feet from Bon Czar. 1t was the
most exciting race of the meeting, the
money in the pool box being responsi
BILE for much of the interest Just how
much the crowd dropped has not beer
ascertained and they are not telling
