MAXFIELD PATCHEN
Has il HARD RACE
AT PARKWAY TODAY
BY WALTER E. ERLER.

The racing at the Parkway meeting
continues to be fast and furious, an /
the events on today's program and to-
morrow, getaway day, do not indicate
any exceptions. The feature today will
be the $1,000 stake for 2:25 PAGERS, in
which Maxf1eld Patchen was the ia
vorite last night. He will, however, he
called upon to BEAT a bunch OF high
class PAGERS, and to me there would
appear to be a couple of horses in he
race tina will keep him busy every
inch of the journey and perhaps en-
compass his defeat.
Other races to be decided today are
the ESQ trot and the 2:14 pace. A large
field will start in each of these events,
and last night 1t was pay your money
and take our pick in each event. In
the 2:50 trot two horses capable OF
beating 2:2O are eligible, which would
indicate an exciting contest.
Yesterdays program was in every
way strictly high-class, and while
Jackie Phillips won two races handily,
the horses behind him were lighting
hard for the balance of the long green.
In the stake for 2:24 trotters, a $1,000
race, Jack uncorked the big bay stall
lion Border Guard, and at no time was
he all out and he finished each heat
at a three-minute gait. Nat Ray made
him step the first quarter In two heats
In 80 seconds, and while this Is a tre-
mendous flight for a trotter over a
two-lap course, 1t didn't appear to
worry the Phillips entry.
Good judges believed Border Guard
capable of a mile yesterday in 2:12,
and ! am inclined to believe that 50
fast q mile was within his capacity.
He is unquestionab.y a trotter of I'M
usual ability, and should no misfortune
befall him, the hounds will have all
awful time taking his measure In the
stakes to which he Is eligible from
now on. Nat Ray has a good mare In
Emily Morris, yet she does not class
with the bay stallion.
King Edward had an easy time in
the 2:1S trot, and while he was not
called upon to beat a very fancy lor,
John r. Gibson made him step the first
heat in 2:16A. Jack Phillips, however,
has King Edward cherry ripe, and TO
beat him a horse will have to trot three
times right close to 2:15. The 2:17 pace,
with twelve starters, was hardly a sur
prise, as Prince Directwell won with
out beating 2:14A.
Eddie Sunderlin showed up Myla H.,
a right good chestnut mare by Gray
stone, yet she hadn't a chance with
the sprawly-going gray gelding. Lake
Gregory, the loca. entry, went a clever
race, but his actions would indicate
that the topples would help him ma
terially. The Jersey City mare, Marion
D.. finished behind the money, yet had
she had a finished mechanic behind
her she might nave connected with
the legal tender.
