tionai harness horses ever developed,
Was sold Yesterday by James Butler

be $4,000, the same amount NJ W.;

years ago for Dan Patch.
After closing the deal yesterday Mr.
Sturges insured the horse for s35,Ooo.
Uirectum will be shipped from
Kirkwood Del, today TO Poughkeepsie.
\. Y, to Join the training stable OF

Izetta l2:13l2) by Pactolus (2:12s4
He was not raced extensively until
1918. when he took record OF 2:02 =
at the State Fair track, Syracuse, and set
a worlds record OF 2:02a. for half
mile track at Goshen, y. \.
Last year ne appeared in six races
and once against time and paced SIX
heats in 200 or better, three Of them
faster than 200. a record never
equaled by any other harness horse.
In his first start a. Detroit, on July
so, he lost his race after winning two
heats in 2:O3t and 2:02i2 on account
of bad cough. Just a month later
Frank Boeash, ir., beat him heat at
Syracuse. but Directum ] paced two
heats in 200 each and won. At the
Detroit track, two weeks later, he
paced his first mile faster than 200, 1t
being in 1854. IN start against time.
He met Williams, the sensational
four-year-old colt, in match race at
Comstock Park track, Grand Rapids, 1.
week later. on September "a. and was
beaten in 2:0l'., 2:0li. and 2:02l7. It
was a different story, however, week
later, when the pair met at Columbus,
where he not only beat Williams han
Oily. but paced two heats IN 1888 and
/ 300. At Lexington he won the pacing
classic. the Tennessee Stakes, as he
pleased, his third heat being in l:o9i1
/ the worlds fastest third heat ever
paced. He met Williams the third time
at Grand Rapids and beat him handily
. in 2:O4i4 and 2:0lt.
After getting home to kwood. Del,
he was started against time with a
windshield and paced in 1884, a rec
ord that has no standing under racing
rules. Directum is twelve winning
/ heats. eleven IN actual races and one
Z against time and in the open, or with
out windshield, averaged exactly 2:02

WALKING RECORD
LIKELY TO FALL
GOulding to Meet Remer
and REM in Relays at
N. Y. A. {. Games.
By BRIGGS.

Not satisfied with beating Eddie
Rem and Dick Remer. New Works two
best walkers, about 200 yards m three
miles last Saturday night, George
Gouldlng, tho marvellous Canadian
champion and record holder, will next
try 10 beat this pair in three mile

This event has been substituted for
the two-milc walk. handicap, in an ef-
fort to have Goulding. While he is now

tcrity to aim at.

Saturday Goulding made a new indoor
mark Of l3 minutes % - seconds,
which he thinks he can better about Is
seconds with the pacing that Remer
and REM will provide walking against
him in relays Of one and one-half
miles each
Although Eddie Rem, the popular
Mohawk boJ, finished about ten yards
ahead Of Remer, the Irish American
entry, the latter showing was re
msrkabic. II is not generally known
that Dick Rcmcr Is thrty-three years
old and the father Of fy, children.
Although past the age when one Usu-
ally shines in athletics, Remor i'm
proves with every start. and declares
he will walk his mile and a half faster
against Gouldng than REM will. There
is keen rivalry between this pair and
their efforts TO beat each others time

faster than he ever went before.

NEWPORT MORE NEUTRAL
So Says G, P. Gardner in the
Lawn Tennis Controversy.

Sporting Editor The Tribune
Sir: In the weller Of arguments con
corning the national Lawn tennis cham
pionship little emphasis has been put
on the fact that Newport IS essentially
= neutral ground, whereas the West
Side club has more and will continue
20 have more championship sspirsnts
than any other club.
Moving the championship there per
mancntly would give them a handicap
which they arc too good sportsmcn 10
desire. II. m spite Of this and other
advantages, the clubs Of the country no
longer wish the tournament al New
port | submit that it should not be held
At any one club or in any city more
than once in three years. and that z
rule 90 that effect should be passed by
the association.
G. PEABODY GARDNER, JR.

stated that they are not trying to get
