Always when the Maps had a chance,
Washington, regardless of the strength
of its club, would come along and put
Cleveland cut OF the.running Ia 1908
when Cleveland lost the p2nnant by a
half-game margin, Washington, team
that finished seventh in the race, was
able to win fourteen out of the twenty
two games played between the two
Cubs. In 1913 when the Nap were a
strong contender, Washington scored
fifteen wins cut OF twenty-five meet
ings 1t is easy to figure what might
lave happened had the Maps merely
broken even in those two campaigns.
At one stage, just when Cleveland was
in the thick of the fight, it came to
Washington for a fiFe-game series.
Il suppose the Nationals will pro-
coed to put US out OF the running, now
that we have a chance" remarked one
CT the Maps prior to the start Of the
series. That is just what Washington
did, by taking FIVE straight games.
Victories fer the Cleveland club last
year were few and far between, but
Washington seemed to be the one club
that the tail-end Maps could trim.
Cleveland had sweet revenge for de-
feats of the past, for the Maps did
much to put the Nationals out of the
running last season. Washington suf-
fered a similar fate to the ST. Louis
Cardinals when thrust into a crucial
series. Several times the Nationals

HOW Blue GRASS
STATE HANDLES
SPORT or !. KINGS

For all practical purposes the rae
ing law of Kentucky is the greatest in
-stitutiens Of iii, RatllEeai In. America Ehe
law creating the Kentucky state rae
ing commission was enacted by the
general assembly in 1906, ard by fits
enactment the commission actually be-
came the law of racing, empowered to
make rules and regulations overnight,
if necessary, to govern even the small
est detail of racing throughout the
state. The governors of the BluG
Grass state have always appointed
strong men on the commission, men
who had the interest of the breeding
and racing Of the thoroughbred at
heart, and no association has ever
been allowed to oyerstep the bounda-
ries of what was best for the blooded
horse; and 'The Sport Of Kings as
racing is termed throughout the world

The present Kentucky state racing
commission is composed of men whose
names have been identified with the
great breeding establishments and
glorious racing of Kentucky for over
quarter of century. The chairman
is United States senator from Ken.
lucky. There is in almost every hui
man being an inherent love of the
Thoroughbred horse and the supreme
struggles for victory in racing. Be-
fore the day of the crooked bookmaker
and the. personal greed of the racing
associations, racing was the, premier
sport of the world. but it was degrad-
ed to such an extent, not only by the
bookmaker, the owner and the jockey.
but by the avaricious racing associa..
tons, that laws were. quickly passed
to prohibit all forms OF wagering, and
in their haste to stop. racing many of
the legislatures passed what have been
justly termed fool laws" with no
thought to one of Americas greatest.
Prides. the breeding establishments Of
this country, from which many Amer
iean-bred horses have won the worlds
greatest racing fixtures.
Saw the Handwriting.
Before 1906 Kentucky's wise men
saw, the handwriting on the wall and
passed a law that has gradually met
with appreciation throughout America.
Colorado and Maryland have already
adopted it, and il is predicted that
laws patterned after the Kentucky
state racing commission will soon be
operated In many other states. 1t has
saved to this country great industry,
a magnificent sport and recreation.
Under the new system the owner of
horses has larger purses and stake
events to race for than ever before,
as the commission regulates even that
department. and t is conducive of
greater racing and an incentive to
breeders to produce, if possible, horses
of greater speed and stamina. The
noted sires and dams that were ship
ped to England few years ago may
now be brought back to America. for
racing has gone through the cleansing
process and will soon flourish again
under the proper restrictions and with
brcad-minded men at the helm. 4
With the thousands of horses being
shipped to Europe for war purposes.
America will need to look after and
encourage its breeiing interests.
