IN BIG DETROIT RAGE
TSdditi0n Against Stallion. Says Writer Dudie Arcfdale Proves
 To Be a Wonder.

owned by VA Matthews and Clay Stacker of this city, in the big stake
 race to be pulled off at Detroit
 Thursday of this week Tn the fol-
 lowing review of the situation &C.,
 cording to the dope book, the Mem
 phis sport writer picks Dudie Arch
 dale He says
 Harness horse experts agree that the s10,000 purse for 2:f1 trotters, to
 be decided at Kalamazoo Thursday, like amount. and to which only nags
 of the 2;24 class are eligible, are as
 good as won by the wonder mare Dudie Archdale. Memphis trained
 product and q recent purchase of Frank G. Jones, of this city The mare seems certainly the best trot- ter in training the season thus far
 has produced.
 When Geers worked the mare in
 2:07 1-2 at Memphis month ago the opinion was expressed that she was a
 2:05 trotter, as the Tennessee reins-
 man does not string his horses out to the last ounce before they are due 10 start Dudie Archda1e has since romped away from a fair field at
 Terre Haute without being forced to beat 2:10. At Grand Rapids, with her owner in the sulky, the mare turned for the word with eleven of the best 2.12 trotters.
 Dudie Arehda1e handled them with apparently the same ease that mark ed her Terre Haute victory over a [ combination of less merit. At Grand [ Rapids the time was :09 3-4, ,: 09 f-2 [ and to emphasize her superiority the winner took the lead when the word for the first heat was given, and in each of the three miles held it all the way, stalling off with ridiculous east the challenge of the Indiana stallion Gamar in the first heat and in the others beating classy trot- ter in Bisa
 Behind these three came Beryaldo, Major Strong, Safeguard, O,Nei1l, Ario I Leyburn, Telemachus, Charley H. Jennie ConHsantine and Don Labor. None of them looked at any time to \ have chance, and as the same field will start this week at Kalamazoo { for the $l0,0G0 2:11 trot, it is difficult [ for the experts to see how they are going to bother the Archdale mare, c although Lilly ", which is named c there, might possibly be surprise. T
 AS for the VI. and M. in which only q trotters eligible to the PA class can ? start, there seems to be nothing left 0 Dut the payment of first money to a MT. Jones entry, since it is highly u improbable that the field in that race Will have as much speed or class as q the one Dudie Archdale defeated with a supreme east last Wednesday. S1

 Dude Not Impressive
