Last week 25,000 city slickers and country bumpkins gathered at Goshen's Good Time park to watch nine of the classiest three-year-olds in the U.S. trot it out for the Hambletonian, richest ($40,000) and most renowned of the 25,000 harness races still held throughout the U.S. every summer...

Smooth-working Carr barely gets the nod over hard-hitting Lyford for the post, but the latter is ton good a ballplayer to be omitted from the lineup. Therefore, Lyford goes over to third to edge out a fast-improving teammate, Bellboy Robin Scully, by the slimmest of margins. Scully's stickwork was weak until the last few games of the year but then he came up with a bang...
