The driving clubs of greater Boston drivingclubsofgr01linn Year: 1914 The Driving Clubs of Greater Boston vice-president: E. J!. I'liiilips, secund \ice- president; Charles Chamberlain, secretary and treasurer, and the ever reliable Sam G. Brown as clerk. This season was held the big interclub meets between the Metropolitan, Fellsway, Dorchester, Ouannapowitt, and Lynn, all of the events being decided at Combination Park. In this series of matinees th^ Lynn Club finished third, only fifteen points back of the ^Metropolitans, and five points in the rear of the Fellsway Club, which finished second. Even with all the local racing at Rock- dale Park, interclul) meets, the Winter banquet and other diversions, C. J- McGov- ern, one of the enthusiastic members of the club, concluded to try an outside diversion liy entering his horse. Awning Boy, in a three-quarter mile handicap race at Com- bination Park. ]\Iedford. Then he was very happily pleased with winning the race, and the time was announced as i 148. Soon after, however, he discovered that under the National Trotting Association rules, any horse winning a heat at a distance greater than a half-mile and under a mile secured a record or bar. This caused Mr. McGov- ern considerable worriment, as he had counted on starting Awning Boy in a few professional races, and had supposed that he was eligible to the slow classes. Finally ^Ir. McGovern carried his case before the board of appeals of the N. T. A., in New York, and they declared that inasmuch as Awning Boy had earned a record of i :48 it would havf= to stand, making the gelding eligible only for the free-for-alls. Nat- urally, this ruling put Mr. McGovern out of vi'inning any of the rich stakes, like the M. i.*i: M., the Massachusetts, etc. The prize winners for the year of lyio follow: Trotters Championship time cup—E. B. Phillips' Croesus. Point cup—Levi Lord's General. Pacers Championship time cup—T. W. Fogg's Lady Laurin. Point cup—A. Hanson's Miss Man
