FAMOUS GELDINC
WILL BE BARRED
FROM BIG RACES

Louisville, KY, Aug. 27.-M. j.
VIM, general manager of the Louis
vile Jockey club, announced that
geldings will hereafter be barred from
starting in the Kentucky Derby. The
rLatonia management had already an
nounced the disbarment Of the unsex-
ed thoroughbred.
This ruling will bar Billy Kelly,
considered the championship two
year-old colt of the year. Billy Kelly
was the western champion having
won four out Of five starts on the Ken
lucky circuit. At Saratoga Springs he
took the Flash and u. S. Hotel stakes
in his only two starts at the Spa st.
Bernard and Col. Livingston, two 9TH
err fast colts which performed on the
Kentucky circuit, would also come
under the ban.
Col. VIM said his reason for the
action is that the government needs
thoroughbred stations and that il the
Jockey clubs and racing associations
of Kentucky and the east had not
taken The initiative in the work of dis
~couraging the gelding Of thorough
breds the government would have in
tervened.
Announcement that the Kentucky
Derby hereafter is to be closed to
geldngs follows the declaration of the
Westchester Racing association that
four Of the most important specials
annually renewed at Belmont Park.
the Withers and Belmont stakes, the
Lawrence Realization and the Suburb
an, will from this time on be for en-
tire colts and f1lies only.
The Kentucky Derby this spring was
won by Exterminator, a gelding. other
geldings, among them Old Rosebud,
have finished first in the Kentucky
classic. ~

Use OF home rule for Ireland, Sir Hor-
ace Plunkett, who was chairman of
the Irish convention, asserts in a,
statement that "the average English
man still wants the political question
settled-frstly. as an obligation Of
honor; secondly, because he is con-
WINGED that her admitted political
grievance stands in the way Of Ire
lands cooperation in the war.
There are two further compelling
reasons widely felt, especially in Lib
eral n Labor circles, for a just, and
even a generous, settlement" con-
tinued Sir Horace. First, it is felt
that the influence of England. at the
peace conference will be seriously i'm
paired II our small nationality is
Knocking at the door demanding the
application to Itself Of the principles
Tor which the Allies ' profess to be
fighting.
Secondly. ever those who are not
converted to any of the big schemes
OF evolution now coming to be recog-
nlzed as an essential part of recon-
struction after the war, are determin-
ed that there must not be an unset
tied Irish question obstructing the
course of democratic legislation.
Il have not the slightest doubt that
a complete analysis Of British opinion
upon the present Irish situation would
reveal an infinite variety Of views I'M
on details. but an almost unanimous
determination that this blot on British
craftsmanship shall be Immediately
removed.
Coming to outside opinion upon
the Irish question, I shall speak only
OF that which Iaknow-the- opinion:of
the United States. 1t is not true that.
since the American people came n
the war, they. have ceased to care
about home rule. The only change I
can discover in their opinion about
Ireland is that they now condemn ut
terly those Irish extremists who have
ever since 1911, been made the fools
Of Prussian intrigue.
II know also that a large body of
American opinion holds 1t to be ire
lands duty-and incidentally the best
way to. ensure the concession of what
Americans regard as her democratic
rights-to fight Fundamentally on
h side Of the Allies. no matter what
grievances against British she mav
have or may remember.
But neither the war nor Ireland,s
attitude thereto Is held to justify the
