Good Xear For PAGERS.

This Is an unusual year for sensa-
tional PAGERS. In fact. while there are
some remarkable trotters out. 1t might
be called pacing year, as there has
seldom II ever been season where
there were so many high class PAGERS
on the big circuits as now. At Detroit
Dan Patch made his first start of the
season in an attempt to beat his mark:
but. while he failed to do so, he paced
A mile In 1:5Ss4, which was certainly
fast enough to keep him from catching
cold while en- route. Then Minor Heir
paced a mile In :59i5 at the Milwau-
kee track, which is surely a great per-
fornance for five-year-old stallion
the first year out.
On the grand circuit are few PAGERS
that have been keeping the followers
of the caravan constantly on the anx-
ious seat this year by their speed. The
Eel 2021a) has the fastest mark, but
had not Dan McEwen staked his gray
pacer right through the grand circuit
It Is safe to say that he would have
faster mark than that right now. The
Eel has had easy sailing I'm the stakes.
but were he to bump up against the
free-for-allers. which include Hedge
wood Bay 2:031D, Baron Grattan
2O3A), Gallagher C2.o3lD. John A.
(2:03l4) and some others, the pace
would have been so hot that some new
! records would have been hung out.

come up at the next meeting Of the

OF course the offense of Chicago is
not as grave as that of the Senators,
as fewer Sox players took part in the
games, and they did not leave their
