HAS
LEADING BARN
OF 1919 SEASON

New York. Dec. 5.-The racing stable
of Sam G. HildTeth. although not the
most powerful in the country numerlc-
ally. was one of the leading money
winners for the season Of 1919. some
Of the Hiidrcth brcad-winners rank
with the best horses in the land and.
indeed. some critics have pronounced
LucT,iite. the handsome son of Trap
Rock-Lucky Lass. the best horse in
the country on a basis of weight for
age This scion OF the Rock Sand
family embodies all the qualifications
of greatness. He can sprint with the
sprinters, stay with the stayers, and
fight to the last stride with all. Pur-
chase. the 3-year-old Ormondale,
ranged second only to Sir Barton in
his division. while Mad Halter was
eversprominent among the 3-year- -olds.
Mad Halter, son of Fair Play. which
is also the sire of Man q War. leads
the Hildreth stable in purses won.
Mad Halter was first over the line in
four starts finished second twice and
was third once. The fashionable La
tonia Championship Stakes were won
by him. and in this race he demon
strated his ability to go the route at
speed Mad Halter is as yet an unde-
veloped colt and 1t is probable that ne
will achieve greater measure of sue
cess in his 4-year-old form. Were
this to happen. Hildredth's cup Of hap
piness and his Golfers would be filed
to the brinl. for Mad Halter won S4,-
991 in 1919.
Purchase. which won $4,000 for the
year, ranked second to Mad Halter in
the home stable. Purchase was placed
second to Sir Barton as the leading
3-year-old OF the year. and there
are many who believe that at the end
OF the racing on local tracks Pur-
chase was n better horse than the son
OF the late Star Shoot. He carried the
Hildreth Colors to victory in nine
races and was placed second twice.
Then ranked Lucullite. which captured
purses aggreGating S7.l3. Thunder =
clap was a good one. bit slow IN
rounding to his best, but rugged
customer to be..t when he finally at
tained the racing edge.

down of whether the meeting OF

Just the same since The Fox" took
charge the two teams have met Ill
tines with the Sox leading but three
games. Can you wish for any better
games than that. II proves how
closely they have been matched. The
Nationals have captured six out OF
eight season series. That is some
feat when we look back over the rec
ord and standing OF the ex-world
champions. What made this differ
ence was during the season OF 1917
when Washington won but one game
in Chicago and lost ten.
But IL you look back over the scores
OF that season you will see the great
est series OF games played between
two teams. In one series they played
five extra inning affairs, Chicago win
ming all of them by a single run To
show that the Nationals were as good
as the other fellows we will look at
the games played in Washington and
find that the Nationals won six out Of
the eleven played. So you see 1t was

THE INTENT OF THE COVE

Charles E. Hughes has the faculty OF
putting a great deal Of thought in few
words. Relative to Article OF the

Democracies cannot promise war AFTER
the manner of monarchs. 1t Is IDLE |"
attempt to commit free peoples TO the
making Of war in an unknown cont'h-
ycncy when such q war may DC touhd 10
be clearly opposed TO the dictates Oh
justice. -,.
Free nations. governing themselves
cannot. Of course bind themselves to
make war against their judgment and
against their lntcrest The United
States cannot undertake an armed ex-
~-.s,,ion OF any KIND without the consent
and. approval Of the Congress Of the
United States and the Congress or the
United states in 1919 cannot bind
Congress Of 1921. or at any other tim" IN
the future. To a degree. such situa-
ton holds In France and Great Britain
and the knowledge of that fact. well un-
derstood by all intelligent statesmen. Is
in itself a guarantee that neither Article
Y Of the covenant of tho league nor any
other 'articir ontcmplatcs an act Of war
on tho part Of this country contrary to
the Judgment Of Its Congress. 1t would
be futile In the covenant Of the
league to create an obligation which. in
the very nature Of things. this country
could be relied upon to carry out. and
that futility ought to be sufficient evil
dence to thoughtful persons that there
is no intent or purpose to create such
an obligation.
The Intelligcncer has pointed out that
the covenant Of the League Of Nations
does not bind US to make war: II does
not bind US TO send a single soldie- be-
Yond the borders Of the United States.
and-all the talk about finding such things
In the covenant is only verbal mists
arising from overheated imaginations.
