MANY AT RACES
Interesting Matinee at Twin
City Track on Ninth Street
Yesterday Afternoon.
UNSPORTSMANLIKE TRICK
Andy Hike Loses Place Because Of
FouIing-ViniIIa and Sandy Mac
in Close Finish.

A crowd of about 500 people gather
ed yesterday afternoon at the Ninth
street track and witnessed the race
matinee put on by the Tri-city Driving
association. There We're some inte"-
esting heats, and the event was 50
successful that the association has
made arrangements to hold another
Sunday afternoon, Oct 81. One Incl
dent of the afternoon was as unsports
manlike a bit of driving as has ever
been seen on the local track, but thu
offender was properly punished by the
judges. Andy Hike, driving p A. Me:-

bank at the side of the track on the
stretch, and an accident was narrowly
averted. La Vengadora by its driver :
tactics crossed the wire first, with
| Feeney's horse but few inches be-
hind. The judges, however, set the
Moline horse back to third place, thus
giving La Vengad0ra third money. The
| horse was sure of second money II
least had its driver not placed himself
liable to discipline
| An Exciting Finish.
In the 2:20 trot Sandy Mac, owned
by Ed Ward, made an interesting fight
for the first money and though it fin
ished in last place i'll the first heat, it
took the second and fourth, and made
five heats necessary. The last heat
was an exciting race. Sandy Mac took
a big lead i'll the first lap of the mile,
and maintained it until the last quar-
ter. when Vinilla, owned by H. Banker,
picked up the distance, and on the
stretch was making finish that
seemed certain victory. The big
gray broke within a few yards of the
line, however. and the Moline horse
took first.

The proceeds amounted to about

the sum President Murphy will add
his check for about $10,455.
Ii is probable that the regulars will
receive $2,25O apiece. There are %
players, including Trainer Mccormick,
