Noted Race HILE the marking of Morning Star in’2:04 thrilled me consid- erably, owing to the fact that it es- tablished a world record for a 14- year-old pacer, at the same time it fell far short of the thrill which I consider the greatest of my long career in the sulky, when I landed Electric Me- Kerron home a victor in the sixth and de- ciding heat of that great race at old Cran- wood Park racetrack in Cleveland, back in 1915, DAN EANE. The winning of this race gave me a lot of satisfaction, hecause the younger teamsters in the race had conspired to beat me, If they could, and when T tell you that I went into the race with a brand-new sulky and came out of it with that same sulky looking like the wreck of the Hes- perus, yowll know what I went through. Vivetta, the Kentucky mare, driven by Harris, won the first heat. 1 was right behind her with Electric, and might have won the heat, but for a break The second heat went to Glenwood B, the Purcell entry, which I even- tually was forced to battle to the finish. In this heat, owing to some rough riding, 1 was able to finish only third with Electric. The third heat was another heart breaker and a new heat winner turned up in the shape of Donna Clay, driven by Cliff Todd, the son, representing the United H title at Sandwich. The determining the final result was im his ing the third round—it required a dri green against the wind. the wind switched around the green. At this point he got a bad break. Behind the green is a fence of wire netting, guarding a chicken run. Or- dinarily a ball running through the green will hit this fence and bounce back. But Hutchison's ball found a hole in the netting, Tusted out pre- sumably by the elements, and con- tinued into the chicken run, which was out-of-bounds territory He lost both stroke and distance This was pretty tough. because, the finish, he lacked just two strokes to tie Walter Hagen for the cham- pionship, taking 302 to Walter's 300 The strange thing, according to my information, is that Hagen also hit the netting on the fourth hole, but his ball bounced back and he lost no_strokes. But Jock had another misfortune on the fourteenth hole, 480 vards in length. Due to strong head winds this hole required two full wood shots and a pitch The second shot was over a drain- age canal which crossed the fair- way at right angles. Two foot bridges spanned this canal. one on the right and one on the left. Each bridge had chain hand rests suspend- ed from upright iron posts, whose diameter was perhaps an inch and a half. Jock played past the bridge on the right. Naturally, in_view of the wind, he hit a low ball. That which resulted could not happen more than once in a million chances. His ball. travelling 25 yards, hit one of those inch-and-a-haif iron uprights and bounded straight back to a point 40 Yards in the player's rear This stroke, with the two lost on the fourth hole, cost him the cham- plonship. Most Sensational Finish. T presume thers never was a more sensational finish to a big tourna- ment than that recorded in the 1913 Wales open champiohship. George Gadd, a very flne golfer, runner-up in this year's Nows-of-the- World tournament, provided the big thrill. Georke had been through a very desperate struggle in the final round, having a fine chance to win the title. Nevertheless, when he reached the last tee, he found himself up against a most awkward situation “You'll have to do the hole in two to get a tie,” was the news brought back to him. Now the final hole was only a 160- yard affair and it was possible that Gadd could get his needed two. But a good many golfers would have CuoerT, Peasony & Co.

As Glenwood B was the favorite I, of course, wanted to defeat him. In a hot stretch duel, I won that fourth heat. As the rules prescribed that a horse must win three heats to win the race, it was necessary for me to win at least two more to get the ma- jor portion of the purse and make our pool tickets good I saw that Electric was properly cooled out between heats and given the necessary stimulants, though no dope, of course.
