Mankato Pacing
Horse Features I'M
State Fair Mishap

st. Paul September 9.-The spec
tacle of a driverless horse pacing
proudly around the track behind six
of its racing mates greeted a small
but appreciative crowd of harness
fans at the State Fair program Fri
day afternoon. This feature was
made possible because of an accident
in the third heat of the All pace and
it, together with the 2:12 trot for the
Minneapolis purse and the 2:20 Twin
City trot, helped to furnish an after
noon of thrills for the spectators.
Miss Marie was an easy victor in
the 2:11, the third heat of which
found the accident taking place.
Rounding the first quarter turn Dick
Foster, WITH McGir" up, and McCol-
lister, with Bockhaus up, broke and
collided, throwing their drivers to
the ground. McCollister's sulky re-
ceived broken wheel and Bockhaus
picked himself ruefully up TO walk
back to the stand.
McGirr did likewise, but saw his
Dick Foster running away, soon to
settle into a pace that kept him fa-
behind the field, but nevertheless in
the race.
Dick Foster crossed the finish line
several lengths to the bad continued
/ to the quarter turn again, and stop
ped in front of his master while the
stands roared approval. Neither
horse nor driver were seriously hurt.
The 2:20 Twin City trot found C.
ID. Brown of Rochester, MINI. shar-
ing the honors won the day previous
by Ed Best when he drove Bud Rip
IA straight heat victory and won a
silver loving cup. donated by the
Twin City Driving Club.
In the second heat the horses
strung out early and the race was
not one to hurry pulse beats. The
! final heat produced some good step
ping for second and third places,
Captain Dick eventually nosing out
Hollywood Phoebe.
| Chief interest in the feature event,
the 2:12 trot Minneapolis purse of
$4,000 centered in the Great Western
appearance of Peter Alation. John
Ande-son's horse has cut into the
money on the Grand Circuit and was
figured to win, but Loomis did not
take the gelding to single heat vic
tory, Captain Mosby with Allen in
the sulky winning all three heats.
Peter Alation captured one second
and two thirds and Wilwyn and Fay
Matthews having fall on the other
second.
The program marked the close of
the 1922 Great Western season here.

ST. PETER HIGH LINE UP
Five Veterans Will Be On Football
Team This Season

II cam tnIS season
ST. Peter, September 9.-Despite
the loss of seven first string men
through graduation last year, the
st. Peter high school has bright
prospects for another winning team
for the season of 1872. The sue
cessful football season last year IS
attracting a large number OF new
recruits and it is expected that the
team will develop into as strong an
organization as that of last year I'M
der an, intensive course of training.
THEY'VE veterans who will form
the nucleous of the team this fall
are: Cliff Witty, the big fullback;
Gordy Laumann, the heavy right
guard; Jim Clark, veteran right
tackle; Fay Tyler, fast right end,
and Wallace Olin, left guard. Among
the Second string men who received
much valuable training last year,
and who viii be in line for first
team positions this year, are, Carl
Towley, Robert Lemberger, Lee
Schmidt, Gussie Blomberg. Ora
Webster, Earl Ecklund and Allan
Mans.
Rnmors of some excellent new
material are. afoat at the present
time It is said that Lurth brothers

the summer months, he has been
taking Il special course in coaching
