Kalamazoo, Mich.,, Aug. 3.—“Pop" Geers is at last numbered among the winning Grand Circuit drivers for 1917. He won his first victory yester- day afternoon, piloting Judge Jones home ahead of a fleld of 2:21 trotters. Dagastan, the Murphy entry, was favorite at $100 to $60, but in every heat Judge Jones had the edge and out-trotted all opponents in the stretch. The 2:10 pace, the chiet event of thé day’s program, was captured by the favorite, Ben Ali. While the time was good, the winner was superior to all contenders and responded gamely when called on. Peter Chenault sold at $25 to $10 for the fleld in the 2:14 trot, and the result was never in doubt. Today is get-away day at Recrea- tion Park, and the free-for-all pace, 2:07 trot and 2:17 pace make up thé card. The summaries: Trotting—2:14 Class—Purse. $1,000.
