.TROTTERS STEP FAST
AT CLEVELAND MEET
Soprano Defeats Willy in
2.O3 3-4 and Joan Wins
Record Four Heat Race.

CLEVELAND, Ohio. August 1o.-The
greatest display of speed seen on the
grand circuit this season was witnessed
at the North Randall track yesterday
afternoon. Trotters were the stars of
the day. The fastest two heats of the
year were trotted and the race record
for four heats was equaled.
The free-for-all trotters were the ones
to furnish the chief excitement. Joan
was the favorite, but got into a pocket
and lost the first heat to Dude Archdale
in 2.O64. The daughter of Directum
Spier won the second heat In 2.oil4. and
then Brace Girdle won the third i'm 2.05s4.
Joan broke going away in the final, and
Dude carried Brace Girl to a break in
the stretch and won in 2.O9. No faster
four-heat race was ever trotted. f. q.
Jones. her amateur owner, drove the
winner.
The los trottinG race, in which Soprano
was a strong first choice. furnished the
fastest heat of the year. The Austrian
bred stallion Willy made the pace and
the pair reached the three-quarter pole
on even terms in 1.321s. Through the
homestretch Soprano drew away and at
the finish was length to the good in
o.U3a4. WHY'S time being 2.O4. next
heat was easy for Soprano in 2.O6A. with
the four-year-old filly Grace in second
place. Soprano is owned jointly by h..
r. Bedford of Brooklyn, and John T..
Madden of Lexington, Ky. She was bred
by II. 3. Coombs of New York.
After Zulu Hal electrified the spectators
by pacing the flrst heat of the 2.10 race
in 2.u3A she tired and Walter Cox won.
with Ernest in slower time, Zulu Hal
being shut out in the final heat.
The paid attendance at the track was
the greatese in the history of the asso-
citation.

went to Jack" Dowling the young
Scarsdale home bred, who was making
his first tournament appearance. There
were eight prizes, ranging from $12o for
the winner down to $40.
Smith and Nichols, playing together,
facilitated matters for the gallery, which
seemed to have determined after the first
round that the winner should come from
this pair. topped tee shot for the Will

disaster. lie was not clear OF the grass
with his second. and although Smith took

dent came with tile playing of the tee
shots for the second hole. The balls
were found to be touching, SO Smith had
to lift until Nichols could play. Two
holes after this the metropolitan title
holder overplayed an approach into the
woods and had to play out left handed.
The shot was deftly executed, but never
theless another stroke was lost. From
the roadway at the fifth Smith had a
powerful iron shot TO the green and
gained yet another stroke as Nichols,
after pulling into the rough. took :.
At the ninth the Wykagyl player was a
stroke to the good, and this he increased
to two strokes three holes later. Nichols
then equalized with a two on the thir-
