PARSHALL HAS SIX
2-MINUTE TROTTERS
IN STRING AT TRACK
Addition of Clever Hanover to
Noted Trainer’s Roster Mon
day Brings One of Four
Horses He Raced to Records
Last Season.
By Wayne Groves
With the addition of Clever.
Hanover’s name to the stable
roster on Monday of this week,
Dr. H. M. Parshall now has six
two-minute performers listed in
the string of forty-seven trot
ters and pacers, that he is train
ing at the Pinehurst track.
At the close of last season’s
racing, Dr. Parshall ranked first
among the race drivers of all
time in the 'matter of two-min
ute performers, as the records
show that he has driven an even
dozen horses in two minutes or
better, Vic Fleming of Syracuse,
N. Y., standing second with
eleven such credits.
Clever Hanover l:59i, was
driven to that mark in a win
ning race at Syracuse, N. Y.,
last summer by Dr. Parshall, he
being one of four horses that
Parshall raced to records of two
minutes or better last season.
Clever Hanover is owned by
Litchfield' & Toothaker of Lex
ington, Mass., who also sent
along a likeable four year old
trotter called Sandy Man, a son
of Guy Day 2:041.
The Mahlon N. Haines stable
continues to hold the season’s
track records, and on Tuesday
set *t mark of 2:21 for the ju
venile trotters to shoot at. This
smart mile was done handily
by Butch, a son of Protector
in 1:594. Trainer Delvin Miller
drove the colt the last half of
this mile in 1:061, last quarter

Fonr Brush Fires
Being Investigated
Suspicion that three of four
brash fires which occurred
within an hour last night were
deliberately set caused the Pine
hurst fire department to turn
over evidence to the county fire
warden, J. R. McCrimmon.
Warden McCrimmon will in
vestigate the fires, a^ they oc
curred outside of the village
limits, and do not come under
the jurisdiction of the local de
partment.
The four alarms which were
turned in within 55 minutes last
night all proved to be brush
fires. The first took place near
Thomas L. Black’s home on the
Midland Road, the second be
tween the No. 3 golf course and
the highway, the third in back
of Eldridge Johnson’s property,
and the fourth on the road to
the Pinehurst Kennel and Gun
Club.
Incidentally the Outlook is,
quite sure there is no connec
tion, but don’t forget the fire
men’s benefit ball on Friday
night at the high school gym
nasium. .. .
