sport less a sport, and is an attempt
to reduce racing to what il can never
bean exact science.
The machine is derogatory to the
starter. 1t divides the honors of the
situation with the men and detracts
from the dignity of his office. Where
as in the old days Jockeys knew that
the starter held their destinies for the
time being in his hand, they now have
to consider the machine as affecting
them as well as the man himself. 1t
is no longer a case of beating the
flag" but beating the gate" and the
flag" meant the starter himself.
In mechanical points the gate" has
failed. The system is faulty. 1t is
neither fish, flesh nor fowl nor good
red herring" What are our modern
starts-are they standing or running
starts? l am sure that l do not know
n l do not believe hat any one else
does. They have the faults of both
systems and the virtues of neither.
The horses are too close to the post
which marks the actual beginning of
the race, and the starter is too close
to the horses. With the horses right
at his feet any man would need an
X-ray eye to see whether all are off
fairly together. A seething, boiling
mass of excited 2-year-olds to be
aligned and sent off on even terms by
{" 10 NiiAAtEN 'Nti
them is a virtually impossible PROPOSE
ton. Good results can come by good
luck rather than good management I'M
der these conditions.
Contrast with this the dignity and
p~racticability of the old system. The
starter stands where he can get a fair
perspective view of the field. He has
no barrier to think about and can focus
his attention on the horses. He makes
them parade back as far as possible in
single file, turning and taking their
positions in line so far back that he
can see each one of them. Then at the
word of command the Jockeys break
and the man with the flag has suffi-
Client time TO see whether the start is
good enough. There is far less chance
for crowding and fouling than when
the barrier is used.
Fred Taral said on Saturday: "Ill
tell you why the starts are so bad.
There's so much crossing and foul rid
ing when we are sent away that each
boy is trying to get away in front and
save his neck"
This is the result of the semi-stand-
ing start. The horses, all huddled up
in some sort of line one second. are
going he~lter-skelter for the lead the
next. 1t is a case of each man for
himself and the devil taxi the hinder
most"
The most palpable and almost sure
ly the most effective way to remedy
the starting evil is to abolish the gate.
Then leave the starters hands as free
as possible. Let him punish the boys
up to the full limit If he sees fit to
do so. Then IL he fails, get another
starter.

PATRIOTIC SONGS
Their Success a Surprise Often

ten-Varied Fortune of their
Authors.

One of the queer things about the
making of great poems and songs of
patriotism is that the people who set
great poems of that type have, almost
without exception, beef in the nature
of accidents. Some of them were
clearly bits of inspiration, as THE
Star-Spangled Banner" The Battle
Hymn of the Republic" and the Mar
seillaise." Others were undertaken de-
liberately, but In almost every case the
author didn't think much of what he
accomplished. These authors had a
way of saying, after their poems had
taken a place in the literature of 10y
atty: The poem has little merit, but
such as 1t is / am glad to offer ii to
my country" Very well, such as they
are" they have been gratefully ac-
cepted by a patriotic people.

thors.
