is generally regarded as among the
greatest long distance drivers the game
has developed.
Four Wanted on Scratch
De Palma, Resta, Milford and Old
neld requested to be placed on scratch
also, but Wagner finally made out the
handlcaps to his best judgment, and
experts agree that he has so arranged
the allowances that it will be an open
race until the last yard, with the virtual
unknown having as much chance for
victory as the worlds champion.
Handicap racing henceforth will pre-
vail In the automobile realm, for it
makes for the sort of competition that
best pleases the public, in that close
and thrilling racing is assured every
foot of the journey.
In the Futurity Handicap, at ten
miles in two heats and a final, De
Palma and Resta will start from
scratch and will give liberal allow
ances to more than a dozen drivers.
In the Hardness Handicap, for the
first time, all the great drivers in the
world are assembled for one race. The
stake is great and there is the handi-
cap element, which endeavors to place
al! the starters on an equal footing.
Three or four of the champions will
drive cars equipped with aviation mo-
tors, and the race will help develop the
engines and may bring out any flaws
there may be in the airplane motors
Resta's car will have an aviation motor
OF his own design, and if he finds 1t
practical for flying purposes will turn
it over to the government.

Metropolitan
Handicap Has
Classy Field

The metropolitan racing schedule
shifts tomorrow to the picturesque
Belmont Park, and to dedicate the in
augural at the most famous racing
plant in America one Of the seasons
richest and most highly regarded clas-
famed Metropolitan Handicap, at one
mile, for three year olds and upward.
Many famous horses have gone to the
post in this classic in years gone by,
but 1918 will not be wanting for class
in the field. No less than a dozen
good ones have been named and the
number includes the recognized cham
pions at the various eligible ages.
There is Jack Hare, Jr., of the three
year-old division, which won the Sec
ond division of the Preakness al PIN
leo, worth $4,000. There is Omar
Khayyam, Of the four-ycar-olds. No
more need be said. And Roamer, good
old Roamer, the aged champion, will
be battling for the honors of genera
ton almost forgotten.
Westy Hogan, another four-year- old
which was highly regarded before his
rather disappointing performance in
the California at Jamaica yesterday;
Old Koenig, Priscilla Mullens, Sunfash
II, Walnut Hall, Hank O'Day, Tromp
La Mort, Ballad and Hendrie are also
among those likely to try conclusions
with the more famous thoroughbreds.
Racing Highly Popular
The meeting just, concluded at ia
malca had no such attraction as the
metropolitan Handicap, yet on several
occasions, especially on Saturdays. the
capacity Of the plant was taxed to ac-
commodate the attendance. The ia
maica meeting proved beyond doubt
that racing is more popular than at
any time since 1907.
The New York public likes excite
ment. There is nothing more spectacu-
lar in racing than the steeplechases.
Belmont Park has one of the finest
steeplechase courses in this country,
and in the second event of tomorrow
the metropolitan turf followers will be
given their first taste of timber-top-
ping of the year. Eight high class
jumpers are out for the New York
Steeplechase, at about two miles,
While the competition among the
bangtails at Jamaica was keen there
is every reason to believe that the
class of racing will improve with the
shift to Belmont Park. At the West
chester Racing Associations commo-
dious plant are a number Of high class
horses that have not gone to the races
this season. Their presence should add
that relish Of uncertainty which is the
chief charm Of sport.
Keen Competition Assured
A glance at the appended entries for
Belmont Parks opening shows most
emphatically that the competition for
stakes and purses will be more keen
than at any time since the hey-dey of
the sport.
The two-year-old division is crowded,
testifying to a revival of breeding. Six
teen two-year-olds have been entered
in the first race, twenty-one in the
third and twenty-eight in the sixth.
The fact that racing is conducted the
reverse way at Belmont Park, as in
England, should not prove much of
handicap to the babies. Most of these
have been thoroughly schooled over
the course. Indeed, a majority Of the
juveniles seen at Jamaica are familiar
with the conditions that will prevail
at Belmont Park

RELATIVES SHOULD
KEEP AWAY FROM
ARMY CANTONMENTS

St. Louis, Aug. l0-At a confer
ence of Red Cross workers held in
St. Louis, a decided stand was taken
against relatives going to canton
ment towns to be near soldiers. 1t
was pointed out that the practice
injured the morals of the soldier,
brought about impoverished condi-
tions in his family and in some in
stances created condition that
threatened to disrupt the family.
1t Was agreed at this meeting to
ask charmen of all Home Service
sections to warn relatives against
visiting camps. This may best be
done by telling men about to depart
from camp. the danger of having
relatives visit them and asking that
they advise relatives against it.
The Red Cross has been called on
to aid thousands of stranded wives
and mothers who left home and
relatives to visit camps. The efforts
thus expended by the Red Cross
Gould be diverted to aiding depend
ents who remain at their homes.
