Watson Forces McCluskey to
New Record in Steeplechase

Interest was centered today in
the -cornered battle for the
one-mile relay championship. With
fast track and clear, blue April
sky, new record was anticipated.
McCluskey Of Fordham estab-
ished his new 3,O0O-meter steeple-
chase record Friday by covering the
distance, over hurdles and water
jumps, in minutes 2s.6 seconds,
clipping 8.4 seconds from his record
of last year. Clifford Watson of
Indiana led until the final lap and
finished second after falling over
the final hurdle.
Beatty of Michigan Normal, s
powerful Negro runner, retained his
title in the 4o0-meter hurdles by
lowering the eight-year -old carnival
and collegiate record from 54.4 sec
onds to 53.3. Jack Kellar Of Ohio
State easily retained his 120-yard
high hurdle crown.

Mad Trump is a horse of un-
doubted quality. with a world of
speed, Notwithstanding the fact
he won but three Of nine efforts
as a 2-year-old.
Perhaps the main reason why
Mad Trump was not greater as
a juvenile was that his temper
was not the best. In this re-
spect he is typical son Of his
father, Mad Halter. who was
noted for bad manners.
Mad Halter had a trick of
quitting when you wanted him
to run. and vice versa. but de-
spite his faults won thirty-two
races and close to $l95 900.
Before he was asked to run in
a race Mad Frump had shown
such high class speed he was

He was placed in Number IL

apolis Motor Speedway on May 80.

tradition of racing.

creased from 500 to 5000. Many
hopefuls kept their barn built
chariots at home. In other years,
the entry fee was 500 and the
money was returned if the car

however. the 5000. which every entry
must ante, remains in the pot TO
be divided among the drivers who
do not finish among the first ten,
