Witness Gentry’s Defeat Os
Joe Patchen
FOR II PURSE OF $5,000
Neither Horse Broke--Now
Broke The Record.
Springfield, 111., Sept. 80.—At
the state lair yesterday afternoon
in the presence of a crowd of 60,-
000 people John R. Gentry defeat
ed Patchen with ease in the match
race for a purse of $5,000.
Patchen was the favente with
the immense audience that filled
the amphitheater and bleachers
and lined the track for several
hundred yards on each side, but
the horse was notin the best of
condition and was never in the
race at any time Gentry was driv
en by Marks and Patchen by An
drews .
The first heat was won in 2:40j,
and the second in and Star
ter Newton, announced it as fast
est race «f the year and also that
it was best consecutive heats ever
done by Star Pointer, Joe Patchen
or Robert J. The conditions of the
race were that both beats must be
made in 2:05 or less. The winner
received the purse. Neither horse
broke during the race.
The horses had a fine start in
the first heat, Gentry having the
pole. He went to the front from
the first and at the quarter led by
four lengths. Then Patchen pulled
himself together a little, and at
the half mi'e had gained two
lengths. He remained at this dis
tance until the home stretch, wh»u
Gentry gained steadily on him and
passed under the wire going easily
and three lengths ahead of Patch
en. The first quarter was made in
30 seconds, the second in 30|. the
third in 32 and the last in 31|
seconds.
The second heat was a trifle
more interesting. Ou the third
scoring the word was given and
the horses started even. At the
quarter Gentry led by three-quar
ters of a length, and at the half
by half a length. At the three
quarters Gentry led by thiee-quar
ters of a length and on the home
stretch Gentry again forced ahead
and won by four lengths with ease
amid great cheers. The time by
quarters was: First, 31 seconds
second, 81, third 30|. fourth. 80|.
