Ralco won the sixth at mile and
seventy yards handily.
In the opinion of patrons Of racing
the Jockey club should allow Mars Cas-
sdy to start the horses from a walk
up With this method he gets excel
lent results. But he cannot seem to
get the hang of standing start. The
manner in which R. T. Wilson's Yellow
Hand was left in the first race was
nothing short Of dsgraceful. An as
sistant starter. who had the gelding
by the bit. didn't turn loose till the
feld was half dozen strides away.
with the walk-up start there are
few better starters than Cassidy, but
the Jockey club insists on handicap
ping him so that good start has be-
comcthe exception rather than the
rule.
The very successful Jamaica meet
ing viii come to an end Wednesday
The racing the next three days should
be even more spirited than heretofore.
ihe fields tomorrow are unusually
largo because Of the great amount OF
"run-up' money to be added to the
overnight purses. These will be quite
as rich as some Of the ordinary stakes.
Tuesday is going to be banner day
for the Metropolitan Jockey Club.
Samuel D. Riddle has announced Man
O. War for the Stuyvesant Handicap

tor are expected to start. The word
has gone out that Man O. War will trv

sentatives almost certain to be at their
best when the big test came.
Hagen may not win, but, like Gard
ner he is almost certain to put I'D a
courageous battle from the first drive
to the last putt. And the fact that
ne may be trailing at the start won't
work upon hi. nerves in the final
thirty-six-hole test.
The Case of Barnes
Barnes has almost an equal chance
With Hagen. But if he wins there
can.of course, be no homcbred flavor
to his victory.
He is English born and his gol6ne
stert was made in England.
His big golfing DEVELOPMENT came
in merica, and it was over here that
he increased his skill and built up his
game.
But. as we understand it, Barne.
has not yet taken out his final naturali
zation papers. AS an Englishman, or
as an American. he is about fifty fly
will claim part of the glory. The
shock will at least be softened.
There are many who believe that
Barnes has an equal chance with Hagen
perhaps q better one. In any event
ne will be no light competitor; for
while Hagen has beaten him more than
once this season, Barnes generally gets
better and better rs the season ad-
yances. Most OK his golfing glory ha.
been gained between June and Oc-
tober.
In Week
we will all know the story-whe ether
Hagen can break through the formida
ble guard whether Barnes can WIN
for both flags; whether Vardon, Tsy-
lor and Braid, the old guard with six
teen open championships, can repel
the rising tide of youth; whether Abe
Mitchell or George Duncan is yet due
This 1920 championship will be a
great story in the history of golf 1t
will be the first renewal for six years,
and, with as many points of interna
tional and local interest, it will surpass
all ether championships as human
story.
One might wonder what would have
happened at Muirfield if in addition to
Gardner we had sent over Heron,
Jones, Evans and Ouimet. But in the
case Of the open, at Deal. we have our
best bet--our open champ pion-support-
ed by his main rival, where, if both
are beaten, there will be nothing left
except to defend our own champion
ship at Toledo in Augusta champion
ship that already promises to outrival
the international affair at Brookline in
1918.
Americans will watch closely for two
details-the showing Of Hagen and
Barnes and the determined battle Of
Vardon, Braid and Taylor, at fifty, to
prove they stili belong, at fifty, to
ing shade Of the olive.

Handicap at Two Miles

Joseph f. Wdener's Doublet won the
great United Hunts Steeplechase Han
dicap at about two miles, the feature
event Of the second day of the United
Hunts Racing Associations meeting at
Belmont Park Terminal yeste. day, af
ter a race and a finish that had the
crowd standing on the chairs.
The crowd was one of the smallest
ever seen at an amateur meeting in
this vicinity, but the racing was a de-
cided improvement over that Of the
meeting three weeks ago.
Be it said that Doublet showed a
great Improvement over his last two
appearances at Belmont Park. He had
all his cleverness in jumping the fences
and speed enough to outdistance the
feet Brooks on the fiat, and at the end
he won going away.
The Greenyree Stables Syosset. which
was counted upon to uphold the stables
honor and traditions at the terminal,
disappointed sadly and finished a
beaten off third.
The small crowd that was in attend
ancc was given All additional treat for
between the second and third races
Man O War was put or exhibition for
them. A round of applause greeted the
great chestnut son of Fair Play as he
was paraded before tho crowd
Eight horses composed the field that
started in the Hunters Steeplechase at
about three miles and half over the
sticks, but only three of these com
plcted the course. The winner was AL
Davis's Strawbrdgc He almost lost
the race, however. BY mistaking the
finish line. and only by turning his
mount sharply did he get on the right
course and won by about two lengths
from Mrs. Symington's Paducah
Halo, the favorte. ridden by James
Park; Over There and Water Ray all
became croppers at the same fence.
Herbert Pulitzer riding the last named,
remounted and gave chase, only to have
the gclding fall again near the stands.
J. E. Widener and Mrs. f. Ambrose
Clark each won two races. Mr.. Wide
ner's Wisest Fool easily won in the
Hopeful Steeplechase. at two miles, just
before Doublct's victory, while Mrs.
Clarks The Decision and Donnybrook
captured the prizes In the two events
