DRIVERS DID NOT TRY
Columbus, O. Sept. 27—After declaring the fourth heat of the 2:08 trot no heat because they ruled that the drivers were not trying, judges at the local Grand Circuit meeting late today discovered they had exceeded their authority and ruled that the heat would stand as the horses finished, but all bets on the heat were declared off.
The heat was won by Escotillo, trotting the mile in 2:20. Escotillo, McGregor the Great and Main Lick turned the first quarter on a jog in 40 seconds and to the half in 1:18 but they raced home in the last half.
The 2:08 pace also went four heats before it was won by Miss Marie. The brown mare took the third and the fourth heats and race. D. W. Maloney, won the first heat and was leading in the fourth when he broke. Wrack won the second heat.
"Pop" Geers, the veteran horseman making his first start of the local meet today drove Miladi Guy to a straight heat victory in the 2:12 trot, limited to three year old trotters. Chop Suey, the favorite, finished second, losing the first heat by a nose.
Abbe Dale favorite in the Arch City $3,000 stake for 2:10 pacers broke in the first heat and finished eighth. Robert Direct in winning the heat in 2:02 1/4 lowered his record and equalled the mark for the event. The event record was broken in the second mile when Abbe Dale won in 2:01 1/2 and in taking the third mile and race he equalled this time.
Nedda, driven by Harry Fleming, failed in the attempt to lower the track trotting record of 1:59 1/4, and her own record of that mark, but she did succeed in equalling it. Peter Manning tomorrow will attempt to break the track record.
