Hannas Guardian Trust In the Matron
Stakes at Toledo and the Championship
Stallion Stakes at Cleveland, with Eu-
nice Bell. Favonian and other good
ones behind him. made the brown colt
look like the best three-year-old trotter
OF the season. He had never started In
race until this season. though he made
n record OF :16M against time at Cleve-
land last year. His record OF 2 :0s is
the fastest yet made by a three-year-
old In 1921. He was bred by r. w.
Harvey of Cleveland. and was got by
Belwin, 2:06A. out or Honeymoon,
2:o9&. 10 John A. McKcrron, 2 :05%.
Guardian Trusts defeat Of Eunice Bell
at Toledo and Cleveland makes II look
as II Murphy would have to bring Rose
Scott out of the bandbox at once II he
expects TO add tho big futurities to the
winnings or his stable this season. Not
much has been heard Of late about the
crack two-year-old OF 1920, but she
worked In 2:0sA and 2:0Sh Mt Cleve-
land last week. in a way that enthused
the critics.
The record for four-year-old trotters
appears to be at the mercy OF Arion
Guy. in view OF last weeks performance
at Cleveland. where Murphy drove him
a mile in 2o3. the last half In 1 100,
and the last quarter in :29&-a $50
gait. The record Is now held by Peter
volo. 2 :O2. and was made In his great
race against Lee Axworthy a. Ceve-
land In 1915. The way In wbich Arion
Guys new owner. II. X. Devereux. Is
holding him out Of races seems TO indi-
cate that he expects far greater things
than a mile In 2 :02 from tho son OF Guy
Axworthy.

The defeat OF Media, :03H. In the
$4,000 race at Cleveland was peculiarly
disappointing 20 her breeder and owner
w. B. Dlcltcrman, and his friends. De
spite Periscope's unbeaten record this
season, Media sold as favorite In the
auction pool before the start. She acted
badly at the post, and after getting
left her behind tho distance flag In the
first heat Harry Fleming brought her
out later In the afternoon and worked
her mile In :01 n with seeming ease.

tho auspices OF the American Trotting
Association while Cleveland is a mem
bor OF tho Union Trotting Association,

recognize each others fines nor collect
