/, and best nurser of pace followers in the
business.
The match race between Carman and
Lawrence was tiresome at times, due to
the iockeying tactics of the men. As 1t
was the race, with the exception of the
final sprints, was a jockeying match,
Lawrence trailing Carman all about the
track, making false jumps. forcing him
up to the top of the track, and, in fact,
doing everything to trouble the new
conner. This succeeded very we'll in
the first heat, Carman failing to get
his high gear going quickly enough
to catch Lawrence when he jumped.
He was beaten one and a half lengths.
The spectators thought it all off then
and Immediately started to jibe Car
man. When they came out for the
second heat Carman smiled at the
kidding" and admitted in a very
sportsmanlike manner that Lawrence
certainly was a fine rider.
In the second heat, when near the
bell. Carman went up on top. and when
Lawrence jumped he cut down ahead
of him. In the sprint Carman got go
ing quickly and won easily by three
quarters of a length. The third heat
was like the second, with the excep-
ton that Carman won by one and a
half lengths.
Fogler and Stein.
Joe Fogler and Charley Stein rode a
dead heat for first place in the one
mile r%epechage professional, Kramer
and Clarke being shut off until within
fifty yards of the finish. Clarke. by a
grand burst of speed within the last ten
yards, just nosed out the champion by
inches, the hair-raising finish pulling
the spectators to their feet. Floyd Mac
Farland afterwards claimed that Kra-
mer switched Clarke on the South
Orange avenue turn on the final sprint
when Clarke was on even terms. the
switch forcing him to lose a half wheel
from Kramer. To the spectators it
looked as if Schlee inadvertently caused
the trouble.
Percy Lawrence, Magin, Jokus and
Van den Dries fought it out in the final
sprint in the three-mile amateur, Law
renee getting trapped on the end of the
far stretch, but coming through in time
to nip second place from Jokus. Magin
won by a length and a half, turning
around.
Floyd Krebs won the one-mile profess
sional invitation, with Halstead second.
Anderson would have trimmed Hal
stead for the place had not the latter
switched the Swede on the last turn.
