Show BILL TRUDE DOG DERBY WINNER Trude Makes Record Time; Thirteen-Year Thirteen-Year Old Lad Comes In Second Ashton. Records became the flotsam flot-sam and jetsam of the dog racing world here when five drivers shattered shatter-ed beyond recognition all previously known records for the American Dog Derby course of twenty-five miles, when six took liberties with the record rec-ord for once around the track, and when the American drivers, including 13-year-old Warren Brown of McCall, who weighs 95 pounds, covered with snow, ran away from the three Canadian Cana-dian champions. A. H. Salley, driver for Ashton Bill Trude, took first place in the classic with a time of 1 hour 55 minutes and 58 seconds. The previous record for the course was 2 hours 9 minutes- 18 seconds, made by Smoky Gaston. Warren Brown, the McCall champion, pushed his dogs to a good second, nosing out Harry Kennedy and Smoky Gaston, who finished in order named. Brown's time was 2 hours 3 minutes 40 seconds. Kennedy negotiated the distance in 2 hours 3 minutes 52 sec-i sec-i onds, while Smoky Gaston, veteran of the Ashton trail, went the three laps in 2 hours 3 minutes 59 seconds. Tud Kent, winner in 1925 and favorite fa-vorite in the 1926 derby, did not place. Getting away to a good stare, Kent ran into trouble early and by the end of the first lap was almost definitely out of it. Further trouble with his dogs on the second lap placed him so far behind that geting into the money was impossible. |
