And the time for both heats was identical—2:15, Performances in the two c! predictions of vetera: urtain-raising events lived up to n horsemen who forecast some of the most thrilling races in northwest history when they viewed the field of 88 emperors and empr Conquer Inclement Weather Despite inclement weather condi- tions that developed shortly after midday, exceptional time was made. A bitter west wind blew dust and rain during the greater portion of the afternoon. It reached gale velocity at times. After the record-setting first heat of the first race, a fine drizale that turned to a steady show- er made the track sticky. This did not add to security underfoot. The track was dry for the evening race but the wind blew hard and chilled to the marrow. That first race! There never was such a track battle in the northwest! Not even in the days of Dan Patch, greatest pacer of them all. Dan Patch still holds his world’s record for pac- ing one mile. He traveled the dis- tance in 1:55 on Sept. 8, 1906, at St. Paul. But he didn’t do it in compe tition. Purdue's time compares favorably with that of the finest harness horses in America at this time of the year. And five other horses pressed him so closely in Bismarck yesterday that the fans will never forget the hair-rais- ing finishes. Run Neck-and-Neck Imagine six horses matching stride- for-stride for one mile with inches separating them. So bunched were they from start to finish that the flick of eyelash, the nod of head, the stretch of neck, was the winning mar- sin. That is what happened in Bismarck. That is what is bound to happen again today and Friday. So thrilling and close was the fin- ish in the third heat of the afternoon battle that only judges directly in line with the finishing wire were able to pick the winner. ‘Grandstand fens and judge's stand officials only a few feet from the wire, were so de-| ceived by the angle at which they sized up the finish that they disagreed among themselves, Particularly was this true among the spectators in the stands who roared disapproval when the results were announctd. Many thought it was a dead heat. Others named every horse in the field the winner. Dead Heats Are Rare “Dead heats are extremely rare,” aid Frank J. Weyel, Minneapolis, of- starter, aa the result to sses of horsed figuratively stuck out her tongue to send the race into an extra heat. The time was 2:13, the time slowing due to the heavy track. That championship finale was a head-and-head combat. So close did the sulkies roil that a general smash- i UD appeared imminent any second. Fighting hearts strained to the ut- most as horses and drivers gave everything in the scorching dash around the course. Goldywood came through with inches to spare in a Pounding rush that last furlong. High ‘Wave was second, Purdue third. The time was 2:13. Goddard Presents Silver H. P. Goddard, secretary of the Bis- marck Association of Commerce, pre- sented the silverware to D. F. Cole victorious driver. Jamestown Horses Victors Jamestown horses almost slammed the field in the 2:24 pace open to only North Dakota horses driven by North Dakota men in the evening. High Heart, chestnut gelding, owned and reined by John Bradford, James- town, outclassed his five rivals to garner first honors in every heat. The times were 2:15; 2:15; a 319%. Rocket Belle, brown mare owned by Will Bennet, Jamestown, driven by Billy McIntyre, Mapleton veteran, finished second in every heat. High Winnie, black mare owned by Bradford and piloted by Billy Smith, Fargo, third in the first two muns and sixth in the final. David McKinney, bay gelding owned and driven by Milton King, Donnybrook, landed in fourth place in every heat. Billy Newton, black gelding owned and driven by G. H. Newton of Wil- liston and Bismarck, was fifth. June | DeClare, bay mare owned and driven by Oscar Erickson, Cooperstown, was out of the money in sixth. Mrs. Roberts Gives Cup Mrs. O. W. Roberts, Bismarck, pre- siding judge and only licensed wom- an arbiter of harness races in North Dakota. presented the Governor's silver pitcher to John Bradford in the absence of Governor George Shafer. The 2:24 pace was the first twi- kota. Other twilight races are sched- uled for tonight and Priday at 6:45. Without fear of contradiction, Mrs. Mrs. Bry: Unanimous praise of the horsemen, fair officials, the Association of Com- ai jTecent efforts by Chicago hurlers. Steve Swetonic seemed not to know what to do with a six-run lead in Cin- cinnati yesterday, and to save himself from heart failure, Donie Bush rushed Carmen Hill to the mound in time to shade the Reds at the finish. jp rhe Giants won two games from the} Phillies, as reported, but the New Yorkers were in serious difficulty before finally pulling it out by the/ back-lot score of 15 to 14. Nine pitch- ers, real or accused, stepped into the line of fire. Melvin Ott hit his six- teenth and seventeenth home runs, and Chuck Klein of the home team/ his eighteenth, which tied Hafey for the league lead. The Giants won the second game by 12 to 6. Braves Win Pair The Boston Braves won a pair from the Brooklyns by 8 to 4 and 9 to 0. The most important action along the American League front was the re- turn of Babe Ruth to active cam-| Paigning at the Yankee stadium and Lou Gehrig's nineteenth home run at the same inclosure. The Yankees de- ee the Red Sox, of course, by 13 lo 2. Detroit defeated Cleveland by 8 to 3 in a six-inning game halted by rain, and the Browns won from the White Sox by 8 to 3 in other American league engagements.
