C. OF c. TO
SINGLE G.
Hoosier Stallion Takes
Classic in Straight
Heats

Rain, the bane of all sport this
summer, unused up the fair grounds
track yesterday afternoon just after
the FIRST heat Of the last race was
run. and old Jupe Aquavitis kept on
the job until well along this morn.
ins.
All hope OF holding the M. & NJ.
this afternoon had not been aban-
doned by noon, but q heavy track
for the 10 starters Is assured II the
program 10 stage as scheduled.
This will probably have some ef-
feet on the betting. although Lee
Axeworthy will continue to be the
favorite. For the nrst time in years
Pop" Geers was not q factor in the
Chamber Of Commerce stake yester-
day. and he will not be In the NJ. &
NJ. today. He had horses entered.
but none OF them have justified
starting a. yet. The Guide was the
entry Of the G. o. NJ. in the feature
today.
Some $4,000 changed hands yes
terday afternoon after Single G.. had
won the Chamber of Commerce
stake In straight heats, and q lot Of
all this wealth will be carted back
to Cambridge City. Ind, little rail-
road town that IL one of the horsiest
hamlets In the country. A good
share Of It will also 90 to Muncie,
Ind. q city where they seemed to
know all about this great Hoosier
stallion. Single G.. Is owned In
Cambridge City by w. A. Barefoot.
q poultry dealer, who likes to dab
tle IN horsefesh.
In the second heat yesterday the
G. Of c. winner did not make a very
good race. Gosnell seemed to be
having trouble with his horse, and
at the finish Judge Ormond was a
warm second. There were folks in
the stand who seemed to think that
the fayorite was near the end, but
Single @ came back in the third heat
and won jogging. Hal Boy was the
next fastest horse in the classic. but
had to be satisfied with fourth mon
ey because of some running in the
second heat that brought him elev-
enth place by the verdict of the
judges.
Rastus, with two thirds and fifth
got second money. and Judge Or
mond. with an eighth. second and
fourth, got third money. That indi-
Gates something OF the battle for
places. which was much more thrill
ing than the race. The best time
for the c. Of G. was the second heat,
paced in 2:03 IA. Single. however.
was separately timed In 2:02.
Lou Jennings. favorite, won the
2:13 trot In straight heats without
q battle. and Leila Patchen easily
took the 2:05 pace. although he had
one bad heat. The 2:22 pace was
cut short by rain. after Tom Murphy
had won the first heat. the first,
victory for him this meeting.
The feature tomorrow will be the
free-for-all pace. In which William,
Directum l., Frank Bogash Jr., and
Anna Bradford will start.
