SALEM, July 29-The track record
over the Salem track was lowered a
full second in the second heat of the
2.l2 pace when Exhan beat Wheeler
Wilkes in a slashing drive through
the stretch TO the wire The wise
ones picked Wheeler Wilkes to win the
race, bnt the local contingent we're
strong for Socks. as the latter had
made his record Of 2.12 IA over this
track. which constituted the record.
Exhall was not considered to any
great extent. due to his poor showing
at Wilmington last week, and that his
owner, an amateur, was the teamstcr.
but the gamencss and speed shown by
him i'm his three bruising heats where
I'm each he had a different antagonist,
stamp him a PAGER of great merit. In
the first heat Wheeler Wilkes had the
pole but Exhall easily took it on the
first turn. with Socks on the outside
and the others trailing. The race to
the three-quarters was between Exhall
and Socks, but on making the turn
Wheeler Wilkes moved up and Joined
in the tri-cornered race to the Wirc.
which went to Exhall by a head and
neck from Socks.
Ed Bali was after Exhal to the
stretch in the second heat. where
Wheeler Wilkes made another desper-
ate effort TO land but fell short by a
head in 211 IA, which was the track
record. The third heat went 10 Ex-
hall in another drive from Wheeler
Wilkes. with Ed BALI and McKees
Mack Tapped and Socks laid up.
The 2.S0 pace was easy for Miss Hob

lack of condition. as he had lots of
speed for the first two heats. hut IL
was evident that he was not up To the
clip. Admorell. the bay gelding. by

trial mile in 210 over Belmont. won
the race driven by a stable boy. who
was content to wait until reaching tho
stretch before making a drive.
