Fastest Mile 7,
Tuesdays crowd was treated to
the fastest mile of the season on any
track-trotted or paced-when Anna
Bradford's Girl in an exhibition, ac-
companied by two runners, wiggled
the mile in 1:59A.
Maybe it's a good thing for Sir
Roch that he went to Detroit in
stead of coming to Indianapolis. The
FLY, in her present form, might
have taken the measure of Sir Roch.
The exhibition mile was staged
after the free-for-all pace had been
called off because of the absence of
the Milwaukee PAGER. The 1:59A
mile was a mGrveloi = exhibition with
Will Dickerson urging the game
filly to her utmost. The PAGER clipped
Y second off her own mark.

est yet made by the Hartman filly.
