4 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, AUGUST 29, 1897. STAR POINTER LOWERS ALL GREATEST OF EQUINE TRIOMPHS Two-Minute Mark Is at| Last Beaten by a Pacer. NEVER A SKIP NOR| BREAK. ' Only Once Does the Mighty| Son of Brown Hal Appear to Falter. FAULTLESSLY DRIVEN BY McCLEARY. Man and Horse Reczive an Ovation When They Pass Under the Wire. | | | READVILLE, Mass, Aug. 28.—The Chicago pacing stallion, Star Pointer, | owned by James A. Murphy, to-day wiped ‘ out the two-minute mark and ended the | controversy which has been going on for | vears as fo the speed qualities of the light- | harness horse. Accompanied by a runner, | the big bay Tennessee-bred stallion beat | twominutes and had three-quartersof a | second to spare when he went under the ‘ wire. This wonderful performance was witnessed by aboul 8000 persons. It was | the more wonderful for on Friday Joe Paichen, with Geers behind him, had made a shoot at the mark made by John | Gentry last October and had failed by | econd anda ha!f. Because of this, it | was not thought that his greatest rival in | the race line would get down below the | even-time mark. | The day was perfect for record break- | Not a breath of air was stirring when, ck, the horse came out witha nning horse to make a trial for a & d's record. The first two scores were | not satisfactory to Reinsman McCleary, and he worked the horse away down be- | ow the turn. The second score was even worse than the first, for while moving ar scarcely a two-minute clip Star Pointer | went to a break right under the wire. | This made the friends of the horse more than a trifle nervous. The pacer was act- ngz as if a little sore and as though not up | to the task. But the third time down there was no | hesitancy. McCleary nodded for the word | and off the pacer went. The first quarter was at an even two-minute gait—in 30 | ing. at 4 o’clos we seconds—and then, as McCleary called on | his pacer to move the second quarter, | there was a great cheer, for he was beat- ing two minutes all to pieces and got to | the half in :593, with the second quarter | in :203,. The third quarter was the fast- | est of the mile. The distance was covered | in 201 seconds, a 1:57 gait. - | Arcund the turn Pointer seemed to | waver the smallest fraction of a second, but McCleary had him right almost before | one could see it and he straightened into the stretch, the runner moving ap closer. Both pacer and runner were asked to step | along. | McCarthy lald the whip on the runnmer, | but McCleary only spoke a word of en- | couragement to his horse. At the draw- | gate Star Pointer was reefed a little, and | coming stronger from the distance the | great pacing stallion appeared to freshen in the last few strides, gathering strength and courage as ne neared the wire, and he | finished like 2 lion in the record-breaking time of 1:59%4. A miglty shout went up. Men yelled as though possessed. In the grand stand | the owner of the horse had his hani wrung until it ached. Over the fences jumped men who knew horse and driver, or who were carried away with the enthu- siasm of the moment. Hardly had McCleary got the norse to & standstill before they had him on their shoulders, and he was borne down the strelch to tne judges’ stand and there, as the band played ‘“Hail to the Chief,” he was introduced to the throng. A tip of the hat and then renewed applause for the horse, owner and trainer rang out. A fairer mitle was never timed. There was not & watch in the stand bat that agreed with the time announced, while on the other side of the stretch the watches in the grand stand caught it equally fast or better—not one slower. C. W. Marks, aiso of Chicago, the owner of the greatest rival of Pointer, looked at his watch earn- estly and then remarked : “If anything, the mile was faster rather than slower. It was a 1:59 performance.’” Since 1894, when the game little race- horse Robert ) paced a time mile in 2:014, the horse worid has been looking for tne two-minute mark to be reached. In 1895 it looked as thougn the gelding, John R. Gentry, would get toit, but the season went by, and last year, even, some of the more ardent in their belief were in- clined in the middle of the season to think that it would be many years in coming, as the candidates then did not look promis- ing. But in September Star Pointer forced John R. Gentry to a race record of 134 at Glens Falls, and then both horses were counted likely candidates, Billy Andrews, with Gentry, got a chance at the mark at the Rigby frack at Portland in October, but on Pointer’s day | rain interfered. Gentry came very near it, and took the crown which to-day was wrested from him. To-day was the first time that Pointer was really sent for the mark. His owner has been content to scoop in race honors, but sfier having defeated Joe Patchen twice out of three times and John K. Gentry every time he gota chance at him, and as no other candidates were in sight, the owner decided to take time honors.

Defeats a Field of Cracks in the 2:13 Trot on the Willows Track. WILLOWS, CaL., Aug. 28.—The battle of the 2:13 ciass is over with that great horse, Jasper Ayers, the winner. It was the greatest rave ever seen in this part of California. Zombro was made the favorite, but he bebaved badly in the first beat, Helena taking the heat in 2:15%, with Ethel Downs second and Zombro third. The talent still played Zombro,and he justified i's judgment by taking the next two heats. Then came the upset, for that stanch and true animal, Jasper Ayers, driven by ‘“Johnny’ Perkins, forged ahead in the drive down the stretch and finished in the lead. Time, 2:13%. There was now a switcn in favor of Jas- per Avers, for Perkins was not whipping and Zombro was seemingly urged to his best. Jasper Ayers took the next two heats straight and the race was over. B g money was vlayed on the race, and the town is hilarious to-night on Jasper Ayers’ winnings. 20 class, pace, purse $400, best three in five. ephiew Jr. (Gordon) , by Red Cloak (Baker)... . by Alexander Button (Hogob: Dave Eyan, bv Antevolo (Suliivan).

WEFERS HAKES A GREAT RUN Equals the American Record for One Hun- dred Yards. Other Exciting Contests on the Field and Track of Manhattan. Most Successful Serles of Athletic Games for National Champ’on- ships Ever Held. NEW YORK, N. Y., Aug. 28.—Since the formation of the Amateur Athletic Asso- ciation there has never been such a suc- ces<ful series of athletic games at Na- tional championships as that which was held this afternoon on the track of the Manhattan field. The attendance was 4000. The track was lightning fast and the infield perfect. Chicago sent a dozen especially trained athletes, among whom were Heineman, th: heavy man; Kraenz- lein and Richards, the hurdlers; May- bury and Rush, the sprinters, and Barrett, the half-miler. Tne greatest interest centered in the meeting of We'ers, the world’s champion sprinter, with Maybury and Rush ot Chi- cago. Despite the fact that Maybury and Rush were considered capable of pushing Wefers to his utmost, the lanky runner from Georgetown Collece was a favorite at odds of 4 to 1, and, although a party of three New Englanders wereon the ground with money 10 back their champion, they failed to secure any important bets from friends of the Westerners, Maybury won his trial heat handily ir 10 1-5 seconds, while Wefers won his in the same time with a litile to spare. In the tinals of the 100 Wefers came away like a streak and won from Rush aud Maybury, who ran a dsad heat for second place. The time, 9 4-5 seconds, just equaled the American record. Wefers and Maybury met again in the final heat of the 220-yard dash, which the former won by five yards in 212-5 se onds, while Maybury was seven yards ahead of Ebrich for secor:d honors. Burke, the world’s champion quarter- miler, won the 440-yard event. Tow=nsend and Rush, of Chicago, and Long of New York were his principal opponents, but after leading all the way the Boston man won by nearly tour yards from Townsend, who secured second place from Long by dropping head foremost over the line. This race was run in 49 seconds and the first three were well played out after they had crossed the finish line. Edward Power of Pittsburg and George Stephen of Montreal were among the con- testants for the half-mile runm, but the best they could do was third and fourth, respectively, as Cregan of New York and Manvel, the young runner from New Jer- sev, finished second, in :583%. Young Fetterman of the New Yorks cut out the pace in the mile walk for a quar- ter of a mile, with Sam Lieebold, the champion, close on his heels. The latter then cut loose and for the next three laps kept ahead of Fetterman, finally winning by forty yards. ¥ George Orton, & mile runner, was out- paced in that eyent and failed to fini h in the first three. Brodie, the Canadian champion, ran splendidldy for seven- .ighlgu of a mile and looked a sure win- ner until Cregan caught him a furlong from home and beat him out easily by fifteen yards. Grant of Toronto, who raade the pace for half the distance, fin- ished fourth, five yards behind the Mon- treal man. In the high burdles great things were expected of J. B. Richards of Chicago. For the last four days Richards has been nursing a sprained ankie, but he insisted on going over the high hurdles, while Kraenzlein was reserved for the longer race. Richards ran well, but Thompson outsprinted him and won by a yard. Kraenzlein won the 220-yard hurdle race by seven yards from Jerome Buck of the Knickerbocker Club, but the finish would have been verv much closer were it not that Buck stumbled badiy at the second hurdle and lost a lot of ground thereby. The one-mile relay race between picked teams of four men each from the New York, Chicago and Knickerbocker ciubs, was won in hollow fashion by the wearers of the *‘mercury foot’’ and Wefers, who ten minutes before baa won the 220 yards' dash, ran the final quarter of the relay in :491-5 seconds, making a new relay record of 3:21 which was just asecond faster than the old record which was held by Yale. In the field events Heineman of Chi- cago won the putting of the 16-pound shot and established a new record with a throw of 118 feet 9 inches, and finished second in the throwing of the 56-pound contest, which was won by Champion James 8. Mitchell. Mitchell'also beat the record of 116 feet in the discus throwing event by eight inches, securing second place. Flannegan, the world’s champion ham- mer-thrower, sent the ball and wire handle 148 feet 5inches, while Chad wick ol Yale made a splendid throw of 141 feet 8 inches. Mitchell was third with 139 feet 4 inches, while Ederen of Calitornia, who represented the Knickerbocker Athletic Club, was fourth with a_throw of 134 feet 4 inches. The latter made a foul throw of 142 feet 2 inches, and Flannagan made a foul throw of 152 feet 214 inches. Irving K. Baxter and two of his club- mates—Carroll and L-'slie—captured all the points in the running high jump for the New York Athletic Club. There was a close contest for third honors in the pole vault after Hurlbut and Smith had cap- tured first and second places. After sev- eral trials and ties, Wilder and Franze conceded the point 1o Van Winkle. Meyer Prinstein of Syracuse, who was the favor- ite in the broad jump, failed to come up to expectations, and could do no better than 21 feet 4 inches, which piaced him in fourth position. The three finishing ahead of him were separated by only one and one-halt inches. E. B, Bloss won by half an inch from Bennett of East Boston, who in turn was one inch uhead of Friesell of Pmsburg. Appended are the summaries: 100-yard dash, trial heats—First heat won by James H. Maybury of Chicago A. A., F. Jar- vis ot Pittsburg A. C. second, J. W, Ehrich of K. A. C. third. Time, :10 1-5.
