Lakes Prophecy
 of Submarine War Amply Fulfilled

In, an interview on Oct. 17, 1914, two years ago, when the Hawke was sunk by 8 German submarine, Simon Lake said:
 The long serial story of annthi- Iation by the little submarine has only begun.

 ,"Admiral von Tirpitz told me Germany is not 50 much interest ed in submarines for defensive as offensive purposes

HAVRE De GRACE TO
Open RACING SEASON
Hartford County Breeders and Agri-
cultural Association to Usher in
Fall Meets in Maryland.
BY GEORGE B. MORRIS.

Havre de Grace, Md, Sept. 2.-Fall rae
ing will be ushered in Maryland on Sep
TENDER II, when the Hartford County
Breeders and Agricultural Association
will hold a two weeks meeting, begin
ming September u and continuing until
September 30.
The Hartford course has been put in
grand condition, and many new improve
ments have been made, both on the
course and the track.
An unusual number of high-class horses
will participate in this meeting, and from
thu way the stake entries have filled, 1t
should prove to be the most successful
meeting ever held at this course.
Owing to the threatened railroad strike
many horsemen have taken advantage of
the prevailing conditions and are already
quartered at the track. The mana cement
has been alert to the possibilities of a
railroad te-up, and cooperating with
many OF the best known horsemen in the
country. have induced them to ship their
animals to the course early so that in
the event of a strike there would be no
shortage OF horses.
Racing as conducted at the Hartford
County course has always been of the
highest quality, and under the skilful
management of Secretary Fred Rehber-
ger has been free of any scandal.
Rehberger, popularity known as one Of
the best racing secretaries in the coun-
try, is now at the course getting things
into shape for the opening meeting. He
stated today that in his opinion the forth
coming meeting will be a success from
every angle of the game.
AS II Is a well-known fact that some
of the best racing stables in America were
two to three months behind in rounding
up their horses for the spring meeting,
owing to the Indictment weather and the
backward season, 1t is now claimed that
there are more high-class horses in train
ing at the present time than ever before
In the history of racing. This being a
we'll established fact there is every rea-
son to believe that the fields will be COM
posed OF the best horses that this coun-
try can produce. including many import
cd thoroughbreds who have been racing
at Saratoga and other Eastern courses
Roamer. who had a sick spell this early
spring, did not do himself Justice this
summer, but the Miller gelding is now
rounding into shape and will be heard
Of later on.
James Butler, the New York sportsman,
along with August Belmont, President of
the New York Jockey Club, will be rep
resented at this meeting, besides a host
Of others equally as prominent.
James Milton, popularity known as the
premier starter OF America, will WELD the
flag. Milton is not only a popular start
er. but has the best wishes OF every one
at all the tracks at which he officiates,
including the jockeys. whom he is able to
control without the usual buster so COM
mon to the average starter.
AS usual, the Pennsylvania and Balti-
more and Ohio railways will run special
trains from Union Station each day dur
ing the meeting

protest to Richard K. Fox's Police Ga
zette for possession OF the middle-weight
champion belt held by Joe Turner In

the fans wassso strong that Turner will

time being beaten. in the final fall
Turner is not fearing any trouble from
the Police Gazette authorities, as he be-
lieves that they will not stand for the
protest entered by Gardner. The local
mat man has already posted the largest
sum Of money ever hung up In the Dis
