FOR TWO MILES
T HE motordrome track record for
two miles was broken twice
last night by the terrific rid
ing of "Tex” Richards and Morty
Graves, who circled the saucer at
the fearful clip of 88 miles an hour.
"Tex” was the first to smash the
mark, when he won the final heat of
the Southern championship race in
1:23. Then a few minutes later,
Graves, riding the second heat of the
special match race with Richards,
spun off the eight laps In 1:22.
Both races were wildly received
by the big crowd that marked the
Labor *Day attendance, and, in fact,
all the races were excellent and
marked by fast time and hard rid
ing.
Renel. the French rider, scored 22
points in the Labor Day sweepstakes
and was awarded the race, the scor
ing being under the French system.
Richards won the Australian pursuit
race, which was an exciting affair.

HOPKINS HELD TO DRAW.

By Chick Evans.
P AUL HUNTER, as every one
knows, gladdened the hearts of
his friends by winning the Lake
Geneva tournament and many of the
adjuncts thereto. We were not pleased
because he defeated some of our other
friends, but because he plays such de
serving golf and has had eo much
undeserved bad luck. It seemed high
time that such good playing should
meet its just deserts.
Paul Hunter comes of a strong
golfing family. His mother Is much
interested in his game. His father, C.
L. Hunter, is a very good player him
self, and his counin. Robert Hunter,
is a player of the highest class, who,
unfortunately, has not been seen on
iocal links this year. It appears that
a certain facility in golf playing runs
in families, most notable examples, in
addition to the Hunters, being the
Gardners and the Ed wards.
Paul, who is almost exactly my age,
has played golf since his earliest
childhood, and for years has been con
sidered one of our very best players.
Long before I began to play in public
I saw pictures of Paul Hunter, a verv
small lad, with a gol? club in his hand,
in newspapers and golf magazines.
He did marvelous things in tho.se days
and Is still doing them. He p'svy ,n
perfect form, a line, free, wid • ooen,
easy style, and commands one or the
longest iron shots I ever saw played.
He is a strong, big fellow as golfers
go. and gets his strength into the ball
to the fullest advantage.
He seems to play, however, in tho
most exasperating- hard luck. When
he loses It is almost always by the
narrowest of margins, and almost al
ways there is some rather spectacular
bit of misfortune connected with hi-*
defeats.
For that reason as well as many
others. I am sure that no one grudges
Paul his “clean-up” at Lake Geneva,
least of all, that good sportsman, Ken
neth Edwards, the runner-up of the
event.
