NEW RECORD FOR
PACER DIRECTUM
Clips Five Seconds Off Former
Mark; Becomes World's
Champion
r> -
Sfecial to the Tcicgrapli
Columbus, 0., Aug. 17. The free
for-all pace on the Columbus Grand
Circuit program yesterday produced
the fastest racing time of the year. In
the first heat Napoleon Direct won In
1:59%, with Peter Stevens, the second
horse, doing his mile in two minutes
flat. It was the first time in a driving
career of 45 years that Edward Geers
ever drove a mile in better than two
minutes.
The pace ,was slower through the
first half of the next heat and Napo
leon Direct was four lengths back at
the far turn. He closed with a won
derful rush and finished a head In
front of Single G. Separate timing
caught Napoleon Direct In 66% sec
onds in the last half.
World's Champion
In a time trial Directum I became
the world's champion pacer for 1 1-16
miles. The old record was 2:14%,
made by Cherry Lass in 1904. Off to
a slow start, Directum I covered the
distance In 2:09%. The last mile
was paced in 2:00%.
Miss Harris M., the champion four
year-old pacing mare, failed in an ef
fort to lower her mark of 2:01%. She
was tired when the final quarter was
reached and finished the mile in 2:02.
Napoleon Direct was one of three
winning favorites. In the 2:09 pace
Beth Clark, the second choice, won
the first two heats. Thereafter Baby
Bertha, highest in public favor, was
in command and took the next three
heats. The Eno, as expected, won the
2:11 trot in straight heats.
McLoughlin and Dawson
Meet Davis and Church
Special to the Telegraph
Lake Forest, 111., Aug. 17.—Maurice
McLoughlin and Ward Dawson of Los
AnKeles, Pacific coast champions, meet
the eastern holders, George M. Church
of 'lfnafly, N. J., and Willis E. Davis
of Stin Francisco, here to-day in the
final match of the national lawn ten
nis championship preliminaries for the
right to play W. M. Johnson and Clar
ence Griffin of California, August 28,
for the national doubles title, in New
York.
McLoughlin r*' d Dawson won a
rather listless match from the south
ern champions, Lew Hardy and Nat
Emerson of Memphis, 8-6, 6-1, 6-4.
The big feature match, however, was
that between the East and the West,
the latter represented by Walter T.
Hayes and Ralph Burdlck of Chicago,
the easterners winning, 3-6, 6-8, 6-4,
C-3, 6-2.
It appeared to be a walkaway for
Chicago men in the first two sets,
starting the third, Davis put his
bullet-like service to work and used
the same terrific drive in returns. It
was all East after that, for despite
their careful playing, Hayes and Bur
dick could not get started.
Leo Houck's Boxers Win
in Game at Lancaster

cleverest boxers in Philadelphia, cov
ered first, and Kid Stone was on sec
ond. Young Ochs was at short, and
White, third. Frankie Houck a
brother of Leo, played in right field,
and J. Dommel in center field. Wiley

Flickers For Fans
Just like Bill Coughlin.
He always wants all or nothing.
To think that a Harrisburg pitcher
was a factor.
Winters was anxious to land a berth
with Harrisburg.
John Fox took another game from
the Islanders.
Volz is good when he is good, but
very bad when he Is not good.
Five errors in that first game show
ed that it was not all due to Volz.
Every week or two the Islanders
get bad. Now that it is out of their
system they should start a long win
imig streak.
•*:VeU. if nothing else to blame it on,
say that Mcßride was one of the um
pires.
Two more days to even up with the
miners. Get to-day's and to-morrow's
games.
Harrison is still out of the game
on account of sickness. Blair is mak
ing good.
Lykens is moving along nicely and
hopes to land the Dauphin-Schuylkill
pennant.
Pitcher Ziegler the Lebanon Valley
College twirler allowed Williamstown
but two hits yesterday.
The Trenton shop team which is
better known as the Motive Power
team won yesterdays game from New
York, score 4 to 0. Claim is made
for a series of games to-decide the
championship which rightfully be
longs to Harrisburg.
