First Heat: Watchim, trotting like o machine lived up to all ad- vance notices as he took the first two heats by thrilling stretch drives but was forced to finish sixth in the final mile. But although win- ning rather handily in the first two the fast trotter of Frank Adams’ had to be good to offset the chall- enges hurled at him by the other seven high-clam trrottiers 1n the field.

They got the word from Starter Irvine on the fifth score after Millie Kalmuick after drawing the rail went to the outside and then field was taken down by Watchim. Right. at the first turn Squire Han- over grabbed the rail followed by Waticliim. Lee McKlllop, Millie Kal- muck. Basil Hanover and the re- mainder back a little.

They go avray on the third score with Uscita Britton grabbing the rail followed by Rhea Mae on the outside, Hnl McKinney, Josedale with (he rest a short distance back. Around the first half and into the turn they pounded and as they hit the backstretch all went w drives.

Hal McKinney who went a great, heat under Ike More- slde's guidance and Mark Hark- away all were in there battling but the Hoosier mare came very fast in the last 50 yards to win by a length in 2.09.

June and Lee raced like a team right to the half with the latter on the outside Millie trailing followed by Hal Britton and Basil Hanover with Watchim and Pagliaoci back several lengthl.
