ADDITIONAL SPORT
DRIVING CLUB IS
READY FOR
Matinee
Card Arranged for Last Sat-
urday Which Was Rained
Out Will Be Put on.

Notwithstanding the fact that an
over-abundance of rain recently has put
the horses back quite a lot in their
work, the Tri-State Driving club is Of
fering six splendid races for Saturdays
program, and claim this is only a fair
sample of the card they will present
on next Wednesday during the centen-
mia celebration when they are going 10
live up to their reputation OF being the
largest and best matinee club IN
America.
In the f~ree-for-all pace Saturday
Ruby Bingen again meets F1nnetta
Pointer and just outside the pale OF the
free-for-all is the fifth event in which
Miss Belle Patchen will try conclusions
with Julius Goodman. The latter pair
are really free-for-all PAGERS, but are
simply not far enough advanced in their
work for this class just yet; however,
unless something very unexpected nap
pens, all four Of these s~idewheelers
will be pitted against one another
Wednesday and II they are, why. the
greatest pacing race ever offered by
local horsemen will develop.
The free-for-all trot offered his week
is causing more speculation than any
other race, and while Miss Sl6 seems
most favored, as she Is rounding into
top form very rapidly, at the same time
Betty Boyd has won in faster tint than
the Robinson mare and DR.. Buckley
has the speed to win anywhere II he
sticks to a trot. All three worked well
this week-all three owners are con-
fident Of winning and anyone OF the
trio can win and cause no great sur
| prise; it is going to be a cracker-jack
race, and the chances are that 1t Will
not be won in straight heats.
Just as the fifth race borders on the
free. for-aIl pace. so does the fourth
compare with the free-for-aH trot;
Courtney Lewis gave Melba five good
stiff heats Tuesday and she trotted IKE
she did last season, which means ~
will take a mighty shifty trotter to beat
her from now on; Jas. Jeffries has been
bringing Dr.. Herman along slowly and
will probably not ask a great deal OF
him in this event although, in COM
pany with Bonnie Lou, he reeled OH
some nice miles on workout day.
Princelite tired badly in his first ef-
fort of the season, but at that he was
second two heats in the free-tor-all trot
and with plenty of work tucked under
his belt this week is the one they viii
have to beat tomorrow to gather in the
blue ribbon.
The first race brings together four
youngsters, and Jordan McNees, who
sent a winner to the post opening day
Memphis Girl-will drive his W
filly, Kathleen Azoff, tomorrow. Hal
Baron, now in Win Rash's training
stable, Is learning to trot better ana
faster every time he Is turned around,
and it won't be long before this son OF
Gumaer Hal gets away from the maiden
class. .,
Luther McCallum, who divides his
time between the traps and the horses
and who recently purchased the good
mare, Edna Axworthy, 2:12h, VIII have
his first mount of the season behind
Cyclone, a big chestnut stallion who
PAGES as II he knew his business.
Cyclone, incidentally, is the only PAGER
in this field.
The races will begin promptly at 2;sO
o'clock and Abe Frank viii do the
starting in his usual efficient manner.
Messrs' Fred Orgill, Sr.. Irby Bennett,
Sam ~Oppenheimer and Judge "A. B. Pit
man will act as Judges. while Ike
Gronauer, Herbert Moore and Willard
Butler will do the timing.
Everything is free--admission, pro-
grams and music. Cars marked Fair
School go right to the track. q
