Com asset,
Left at Post,
Wins Big Race
Square Dealer Noses Out
Irumpator in Steeplechase
at Belmont

The rare scene Of favorite coming
on to win after being left flatfooted at
the post was the good fortune of R. T.
Wilson's, jr., brown gelding Corn Tas-
sci in capturing the Amityville Handi-
cap at one mile which was the fourth
event on the programme at Belmont
Park yesterday.
Corn Tasscl's overcoming of his slim
chance to retrieve the ground lost and
pay his hackers is attributed to the
wonderful riding of Jockey Larry Lyke,
who had the mount. Lyke never lost
an inch of ground, and, rousing his
mount to all his speed in the stretch,
managed to get up and beat st. Isidore
by a nose.
The start was delayed somewhat by
the stubborn antics of Hank O'Day,
who refused to align himself with the
other six starters. His antics bumped
forcing Corn Tassel several lengths
back. With Lyke ready to man9uvre
into the position drawn by Corn Tas-
sci, Starter Mars Cassidy sprung the
web and Corn Tassel was caught fiat
footed two lengths behind Lyke
wheeled about his mount quickly, but
was some seven lentghs back as tho
field swung down the backstrctch.
Corn Tassel carrying top weight of
! 115 pounds. began to creep up round
ing the turn and was up with the lead
ers entering the stretch. Lyke elected
to take the outside course to avoid in
reference and his good judgment
pioted tho Wilson gelding home a win
ner. Hank O'Day raced well during
the early stages, but sulked at the end
to finish third. Despite the big loss
of ground, Corn Tassel covered the
distance in l: :39 l-5
A thrilling driving finish featured
the Corinth;an Steeplechase Handicap,
with Square Dealer usurping ground
with leaps and bounds in the stretch
run 10 barely beat out Trumpator. The
latter set all the early pace and after
clearing the second to the last OBJ
/ stacle was six lengths to the good.
Vincent Powers, on Square Dealer,
4 gave MIN his head in the stretch to
overtakc Trumpator and fight it out
head and head to the wire.
Jockey I.yke bowed to the more skill
ful horsemanship of George Walls
when Deckmate, favorite for the third
race, was beaten half length by the
Quincy Stables Starry Banner. 1t was
duel between the two horses, with
Starry Banners little reserve speed
aiding him near the finish.
Jockey Callahan's poor ride on His
Sister, in the fifth race, accounted for
The small winning advantage over Mar
mite who showed unexpectedly fast
speed. Callahan wobbled about on his
mount during the final fifty yards, but
managed to get His Sister home a win
ner by Il head. Eddie Taplin, on Tailor
Maid, made runaway race OF the first
race, paying the odds Of 10 to l. How
ever, it was the sixth race with The
Harshee II as the winner at odds of
10 TO ! that sent many of the players
home in a joyful mood

The Worlds Bad Guess

The worlds greatest artificial upheaval, the greatest in history perhaps greater than any other that will ever occur, has now progressed to a stage from which we may look back upon the bad guesses and bunders which prolonged it beyond all human expectations We may, though, dismiss the expectations of the Germans too preposterous in the light of what has happened to be considered. however reasonable they may have appeared at the beginning, last November late last March.
 It was not believed outside of Germany that such could be preciptated Perhaps nobody but a German could have believed that such a war, under way could be maintained for year. The worlds satsticans, financers and statesmen all indulsed in wild and have seen, wrong guesses We of America made the widest guess of all when we hoped we could keep out of it.
 Military experts have been no better guessers. unless we should except the French, who though whether they believed the could be won the western front, placed that that was where they had to fight. We have charged the Brit ish with making the most costly bunders. They have in fact made only two, the greatest of which resisting coordination of effort. The other the Galpoli campaign to separate Turkey from the Cen tral powers. The only mistake there, in over estimating the power of the allied navy and in be- ginning that campaign three years before the allies ready.
 Another apparent British mistake the Mace donian campaign. That seemed hopeless that two years ago the French urged it's abandonment and there strong party in Great Britain ready admit it's failure. But it was here that British bull dog tenacity has told It not only averted stronger against the allied front in the west but became the means of hastening the victory when the Germans weakened in the west This hastening has doubt saved many thousands of lives which would have been lost in forcing the Rhine defenses if the allies had been compelled to batter their way to Berlin from the west
 By the maintenance of the Macedonian front the British have doubt saved as many lives as were lost by their stubborn resistance to the establish ment of a supreme command.
 The world believed that when America entered the the allies all but beaten. That is per haps true. They not overwhelmed by numbers but by their inferior strategy than by superior German strategy. They at the end their resources, bankrupt and threatened with starvation They would, perhaps, have fallen easy prey to Germany but for the aid we gave them of money. munitions and food.
