BEST RACERS
LACK HARNESS
HOPPLEs NOT WORN BY ALL
FAST PERFORMERS
Great Bronco and Geer's ArdelIe
Driven Without the Aid of
Special Speed AppIi-
ances

During the Grand Circuit whirl
track, Cleveland, a good opportunity
was afforded of seeing some of the
greatest PAGERS in the country perform.
Among these were The Broncho, 2:O3.
that great little PAGER who broke three
worlds records, and next Ed Geers'
Ardelle, 2:O5A, the daughter of ]. H.
L.. which is considered the greatest
pacing mare ever developed.
One thing noticed about these two
great pacing machines is the fact that
neither wears hopples. and, in fact,
they carry a minimum quantity of
harness, while most of the other side
wheelers that performed wore the
hopples.
In looking over the list of real high
class PAGERS, the best of the country
in their time, a large number is found
which went without the aid of hoppleS.
The reason that these horses went
without hopples in the main is that
they were trained carefully and were
given an opportunity to work without
them some time and developed their
speed gradually. while today the rea-
son that there are so many hoppled
PAGERS is this:
dCCIo dIb DeCOlliAiS lllOIc
every year, and so many of them are
trained in hurry. their trainers being
anxious to get them to the races
quickly. that they do not have time to
gain speed, and therefore the straps
are slapped on to make them pace.
Among the fast ones that do not
wear hopples: Dan Patch. 1854,

A strong feature of the Portland play,

exists, which cannot fail to shove the
Mudders well up on the pennant ladder
if they do not ultimately get the rag.
From the call of time every man IN

Special to The Herald.
ALAMITOS BAY, Aug. 12.-The
swimming races for the Southern Cali
fornia championships, which were held
this afternoon at Naples, were wit
messed by nearly $500 persons. This was
the third annual tournament held by
the association and was a very success
full affair.
Ben Warrington of the Los Angeles
Athletic club distinguished himself by
winning the 440-yard race and the half
mile event in easy fashion.
Wilbur Kyle of San Diego won the
5O-yard race, as had been anticipated,
with Miller second and Cline third.
Great interest was centered in the 80
yard dash for girls, which was annexed
by Miss E. Willis of Ocean Park, who
entered the lists at the last moment.
One unexpected turn of events was
the disqualification Of George Hewston
of Long Beach from the events because
of the charge of professionalism. Hew-
ston is in the employ of the Long
Beach Bath House company as life
guard, and asserts that he never en-
tered professional swimming race and
Los Angeles herald., 1906-08-13

that he was unjustly barred from the
contests today.
Hewston Disqualified
Hewston swan the first race, the 90
yard dash, and came out second. He
said this afternoon that he would will
ingly match himself against any swim
mer in Southern California. Hewston
has good record around Long Beach
as swimmer and his friends believe
that he is very hard man to beat. His
disqualification was, therefore, quite n
disappointment.
Charges were made that Kyle was a
professional, and protests were accord
ingly made against his victories. Hew-
ston insists that Kyle and Loomis are
both professional racers and should not
have been allowed to compete.
The results:
The fifty-yard dash for the amateur
championship of Southern California
was called at 1870. The starters were
Joe Singleton, Los Angeles; George
Hewston, Long Beach; r. B. Stole,
Olympic club; e. Bradley, Los Ange-
