A. CT. Tarn. a trainer who just
won the $500 trainers award for
the second time during this Hialeah
meeting, saw Top Row as the VIM
ner. There's a little story behind
Tarn and Top Row. In 1884 Top
Row ran in a $500 claiming race
at Narragansett. Immediately after
the race Tarn dashed to the office
with a check to claim the horse. He
beat A. A. (BerD Baroni TO the desk
by yard.
But Baroni got the horse when it
found that Tarn had not started a
horse at the meeting and therefore
was not eligible to make claim.
Last year Top Row won $97,720 for
Baroni, and tomorrow he stands a
good chance of doubling that.

Raleigh, May ga new and some
what unusual twist in the contest for
the Democratic nomination for COM
missioner of agriculture is indicated
by reports coming from several east
ern counties where Dr. Ralph w. Nc
Donald seems to be leading for gov
ernor, of a union between the sup
porters of w. Kerr Scott and DR.. Nc
Donald, on the grounds that both DR..
Mcdonald and Scott are running on
platforms pledged to turn out the old
crowd here in Raleigh.
These reports are, vigorously denied
by the Scott supporters here, who
maintain that his campaign for COM
missioner of agriculture against Will
liam A. Graham, the present incum-
BENT is not connected in any way
with any of the candidates for gov
ernor and that he is not trying to
ride the tail of the Mcdonald kite It
is also recalled that at the time Scott
came out as a candidate against Com
missioner Graham, it was generally
talked in political circles that he had
been encouraged to run by the sup
porters of Clyde r.. Hoey in order to
get Commissioner Graham so busy in
his own back yard that he would not
be able to lend any political assis-
lance to Lieutenant Governor A. H.
(Sandy) Graham. 1t is still generally
conceded that many of SCOTS most
active supporters in this immediate
immediate section and in the Pied
mont are Hoey supporters.
Yet the reports persist from the
counties in which Mcdonald is said
to have his greatest strength that
many of the Mcdonald supporters are
also going down the line" for Scott
on the grounds that his demand for a
New DEAL and a house cleaning in
the State Department of Agriculture
is in line with McDonald's demand for
house cleaning and New Deal'
in the governors office and in the
other State departments.

FIRST WORLD WAR DAY-BY-DAY

20 Years Ago Today-Without know
ing it, two great fleets were approach
ing each other for a conflict that was
to occur two days later. For the next
three days these notes will be devoted
to it,
One of the ablest summaries of
what happened is that given by Liddel
Hart in his classic history of the war:
only once during over four years
of war did the Grand Fleet of Britain
and the High Seas of Germany meet
1t would be more exact to say that
they hailed each other in passing. No
battle in all history has split so much
ink.
ION the afternoon of May 81, 1916,
the fleet that had been built to dis
pute the mastery of the sea stumbled
into the fleet that had held it for
centuries. In the evening these two
fleets, the greatest the world had seen
CROPPED towards each other, touched,
broke away, touched again and broke
away again. Then darkness fell be-
tween them. And when the glorious
first of June dawned a sorely puz-
zled Grant Fleet paraded on an empty
sea-"
From the outbreak of the war Brit
ish naval strategy was governed by
appreciation of the fact that main
tenance of sea supremacy was even
more vital than defeat of the German
fleet. Winston Churchill later epito-
mixed the issue, "Jellicoe was the only
man on either side who could lose
the war in an afternoon"
On the other hand, the aim of Ger
man naval strategy from August 1914
had been to avoid the risk of a de-
cisive action until the British fleet
was so weakened until prospects of
success were greater. Mines and tor
pedoes were the means on which
Germans relied to achieve this pre-
liminary weakening. Fear of such
