Lustrous McKinney Paces Half Mile in 1:00 1/2 in Race.
The fastest paced half-mile of the season for the Harlem Speedway was returned yesterday by M. S. Kearins's bay gelding, Lustrous McKinney, at the Road Drivers' Association seventh Fall matinee. The Kearins gelding, in winning the 1:05 pace, covered the half-mile in 1:00 1/2 in the second heat.
Opposed to Lustrous McKinney was Moe Aronson's Hal Direct, and J. F. Fisherty's Lillian W. In the initial heat the three animals got off on a line and raced to the quarter pole abreast. Then Hal Direct and Lustrous McKinney broke badly and Lillian W. won handily. Kearins, first to get his pacer under control, brought Lustrous McKinney home second. The time was 1:03.
Kearnins' gelding kept its stride throughout the second heat, but was forced hard by Lillian W., which was beaten only a length. In this heat Lustrous McKinney continued its good work in the third heat and won by more than a length from Hal Direct, in 1:03.
Silent Sister and Oakland Boy, Jr., indulged in a pacing duel at 1:10 which went to Silent Sister in three heats. The other three-heat victory was registered by Gene Carpenter's Bessie Baron in the 1:09 trot.
Lustrous McKinney's victory in the 1:05 page, placed it within one point of J. Leonard's Silent Sister for the year's pacing championship cup. Leonard's mare has 23 points while Lustrous McKinney has 22. Countess Kohl is third with 16. In the trotting division American Girl leads with 29 points and Kitty Justo has 25. L. Albano's Pavana is third with 19.
