By VEDDER GARD

IJTjE may go wrong on some Yjy technical points here, but l are willing to try. Many persons have asked just What is meant by a 2:18 trot —or any other such classification. On the surface it appears that horses entered in a 2:18 trot have never made any better time. But it is that easy. There is a qualification which niters the case. A horse which is entered in an early closing event can just as fast as it'likes AFTKR entering and still be eligible for the slower race/ The horse is rated according to its best time in a winning race BEFORE entering the event. It does nqt matter what it does afterward. After the horse has made a certain mark it cannot enter a slower classification event. In Thursday’s program at the fair Sayde Worthy, the mare which won the Governor purse, a 2:18 trot, in reality has gone much faster than that this year. But at the time the entries closed Sadye Worthy had not made better time than 2:18. Therefore she was eligible for the 2:18 class. If the mare was to be entered in a face tomorrow she could not compete in the 2:18 class. Next year in the early closing events she will be eligible in a much faster class —regulated by her best time made this season in a “winrace” —the word used by horsemen. There is another pha of the eligibility question. Automatically a horse’s time is raised two seconds each year in which it does not make any better mark. If a horse has a mark of 2:10 at (he start of 1920 and never betters that mark, in 1927 it is in the 2:12 class. Only six seconds can be added in this manner. . All marks must be made in actual competition in which the horse wins the race. One fast heat docs not alter a horse’s rating unles the horse a so wins the race. This may*all be as clear as mud. But a careful reading may make things a bit more lucid and add interest *to the harness horse summaries. * * * mT may be interesting know that Indianapolis is* considered tj,ie best harness race city in the United States. Those who follow the Grand Circuit say there is more interest here, more enthusiasm than anywhere else. The second city in this regard probably could not be guessed. It is Atlanta, Ga. ■ They like their pacers and trotters down there. Just why? Don’t ask us. i* * * Tlievfairground track surprised (lie horsemen Thursday ly the rapidity with which it dried out. It really was remarkable that racing was possible in the afternoon after the terrific downpour of Wednesday night. * * * r"J?r"|OME famous names are conI nected with the harness ' * races. E. Roland Harriman, son of the former millionaire railroad king, is the owner of the Arden Homestead stable of Goshen, N. Y. The Calumet stock farm of Lexington, N. Y., is the hobby of W. M. Wriglit, the original Calumet baking powder manufacturer. Wright is well up in the seventies now, but still takes an active interest in racing, and was in Indianapolis this week. It is said that he has spent $500,000 in developing the Kentucky breeding farm. Coca-Cola is represented by ter T. Candler, son of Asa Candler, of Atlanta, Ga. Several of bis horses are at the State fairground. Candler’s stock farm is at Linnsburg, Ind., near Crawfordsville. • * SHERE has been some fine racing at the Indiana State Fair during the past week, and there has been some not so good, A lack of entries In-some events has detracted somewhat from the interest. This latter situation has been caused by a rival attraction—the Michigan State Fair at Detroit. All the horses which raced at Syracuse last week did not come here. The fact of the matter is, that nearly half of them went to Detroit, including .Guy McKinney, the winner of the $73,000 Hambletoniun Stake. The Michigan meeting is not a Grand -Circuit affair. Usually the Circuit owners and drivers stick to the “big time” in preference to other meetings. But a personal element' entered Into the situation this time. The Michigan State Fair this year had a new race manager, undoubtedly one of the most popular men connected, with the harness game. Walter Palmer, whose official title is director of exhibits, was largely instrumental in taking many of the good ones to Detroit. He used to be a driver himself. He has a host of friends among the horsemen and the fact that he Was in charge of things no doubt ' influenced many of his acquaintances to ship to Detroit.

FINAL PROGRAM OF GRAND CIRCUIT RAGING AT STATE FAIR,

KICKING INCREASE FORECAST i Vet Coast Coach Thinks Forward Pass Penalty Will Cause More Punting. Du United Pres* / LOS ANGELES, Sept. 10.—Howard Jones, veteran gridiron mentor and now head coach of football at the University of Southern California, expects to see more kicking in the games this fall than in those of past seasons. “The new forward passing rule, prescribing a five-yard penalty for two unsuccessful passes in the same sequence of downs, will not materially affect passing,” the former lowa mentor said, “but it will bring about more and better kicking. “Quarterbacks generally dislike to caH a kick on the third down and usually With eight yards or less to go they wont. R's a different proposition, however, whcfi the scorehoard shows third down and thirteen or more to go as It frequently will with the new jpass penalty.” With the exception of the additional kicking and the continued development of the forward pass attack, Jones believes there will be very little change. Boosts Coast Game ( “Four Pacific Coast tdima must be included In any rating of the twelve best eleVerls in the country,” said the man who guided lowa to two Big Ten Conference championships. Coach Jones expects Dartmouth and Notre Dame to have the strongest teams in their respective sections of the country. Washington, California, Stanford and Southern California, will be the leading elevens in the Pacific conference, he predicted. The Trojan coach regards Stanford, California and Notre Dame ts the toughest encounters on the U: S. C. schedule,..^ Jones Reticent was reticent about discuss; jng the prospects of his own team. “We should have a better team than last year,” he said, “with twenty-one letter men, of whom nineteen were with me last season on the squad this year. But we have a tough schedule. | "And California and .Stanford have just as good material this year as Southern California.” Coach Jones does not believe any Pacific Coast team is likely to produce another star of Ernie Nevers’ caliber the coming season. Guttormsen and Tesreau of Washington Murphy of Stanford, and Drury of Southern California, will be the outstanding backfleld performers on the coast, he predicted.

Five Events Bring Meeting to Wose—'Track Is Fast t on Last Day. The final day’s program of Grand Circuit racing this afternoon' at the Indiana State Fair included fiva, events. The feature of the ejay wai the 2:05 pace, Chamber of Commerce purse, $2,000. There were only three starters, but the small list of en tries was expected to produce some fast- time. , The track was extremely fast after drying out from the heavy con dltion of Thursday. The Indian apolis track is fastest under such condition. Tiie first event, on the card was the unfinished 2:18 pace which dark ness stopped on Thursday. The three beat winners were to meet. Other events today were the 2:1? trot, 2:12 pace, Stegemeier Cafeteria purse, $1,000; and the 3-year-old trot, Marott Shoe Company purse, SI,OOO Racing on Thursday was not up to the standard previous days for several reasons.

The track really dried out remarkably well, but nAct to the inner rail thj going was soft all afternoon, forcing the drivers to pilot their horses wide at the turns. The first three events were more or less parades with the victors winning in straight heats without a great deal of contention. Almost without exception the horses finished in identical order in each heatThere wasn’t tt great deal to get excited about. The 2:04 trot, Pluto Water purse, billed as the feature of the day had only two entrants. Guy Trogan of the Arden Homestead Stable, Goshen. N. ]Y., driven by Dickerson, proved too good for Hollyrood Leonard of the Murphy Satble, Syracuse, N. Y., driven by and took three straight heats after leading all the way in each instance. Sayde Worthy of the Good Time Stable, Goshen, N. Y„ was kept in front by Cox in every heat of the 2:18 trot, the Governor purse. Miss Frudemjp Watts of the Palin string was second each time. The bay as though she might give Sayde Worthy a real battle in the first heat, when Palin brought her up on terms at the half-mile mark, but she could not keep the fast pace and had to be conteht with second place. The last two heats were easy for the Good Time Stable mare. Highland Scott appeared much the best in the 3-year-old Abbedale pace and Murphy sent the colt around to/win in straight heats. The finish in each heat was the same, with Highland Scot leading the way; Dr. Volo second, Lillian K. third, Lu Trask fourth, Lady Patch fifth. Riley was distanced in the first heat. The final race on the program, 2:18 class pace for half-mile track horses, furnished the best sport of the day! Ten pacers faced the issue and every heat was close. Three heats were completed before sundown. Marg won the first, Simmie AzofT the second, A1 B. the third. The trio were to meet this afternoon in the first fvent on the card to decide the winner of the race.

FOUR IN ROW WON BY TRIBE 4 Indians Nose Out Senators in 12 Innings—Toledo Invades Park. The belated winning streak started by the Indians was extended to four straight Thursday when Byron Speece and George Lyons engaged in a twelve-inning mound battle and the Tribe pitcher won. The score was 4 to 3. Walter Holke, hobbling from a bad strain, batted for Miller in the twelfth with two men out and doubed down tho right field foul line, scoring Fisher and Yoter. The Tribesmen swept tne three-game series with the cellar Senators after capturing the finale with the Colonels last Monday. Senators Crack Columbus counted a marker in the first half of the twelfth Thursday when Schliebner scored Thelan with a pop fly single to short center. The break caused the Senators to believe they were going to win a ball game, but their defense cracked when the Indians took their time at bat. After one out in the third extra round, Fisher was safe on Schliebner’s fumble. Henry batted for Rehg and walked. Y|ter popped a foul to Doljak. The lun bothered Doljak and ho dropped the ball. Yoter forced Henry, Fisher going to third. Yoter stole second and Holke broke up tha'struggle. liens in Town Stronger opposition was carded to invade Washington Park today.
