HAVRE DE GRACE, Nd, April
14.-For a colt that hasn't been able
to win race this year, Alsab today
looked to be a mighty good bet to
run away with the heavy sugar in
the Kentucky Derby.
Alsab went down to his fifth
straight defeat In the Chesapeake
Trial yesterday, but made such an
impressive effort that many In the
crowd of $4,000 Immediately tabled
him as the horse to beat in the
big race at Churchill Downs May 2.
Trainer Sarge Swenke sent Mrs.
Albert Sabaths colt poetward well
rested and about rs pounds heavier
than he was after the Florida cam
paign, in which the 1941 juvenile
champion apparently went stale.
And Alsab served notice that he is
on the comeback trail.
r. Sterling Clark's Colchis, which
dead-heated Alsab In the Eastern
Shore Handicap last fail, came up
with another brilliant performance
yesterday to beat him by = neck in
the 6-furlong race run in 1925. Col
chis was not nominated for the
Derby.
Alsab was last in the field of six
until they hit the home stretch.
Then Jockey Al Schmidt sent him
up on the outside with q mighty
r,,eL that xr,o,,1d hoyn m rr1ad t,tv,,
to victory in q few more strides.
The effort indicated that Alsab is
ready for . real test.
Two other Derby candidates, Mrs.
Ralph McIlvain's Bright Willie, q

Farms Baby Dumping. brought up
the rear. They set the early pace,
but folded In the stretch.

Those ingenious gentlemen whose
task it is to draft baseball sched-
ules have committed no discourtesy
toward the Mats this season, fol
Washington is presented ripe op-
portunity for one Of its rare refresh
ing starts.
Recent Washington teams have
punctuated their respective returns
from the South by plunging into
disastrous early American League
campaigning, throttling interest in
their activities and seldom desert
ing the arid atmosphere OF the
second division.
Clark Grifith's 1912 edition is
staked to a remarkable break, how
ever, for half of the Mats first 16
games will be played with the Ath-
letics, generally tabled the leagues
sorriest specimens. The Mats are
getting the best of it, too, in that
when the Yankees leave town after
their current three-game series they
won't be seen again for nearly q
month.
Instrumental in the Mats pathetic
early play last season, in which
losing streaks of IL and games
were inserted, was the fact they
were facing the Yankees and Red
Sox in 8 of their first II games
Washington was dealt . crushing
wallop which kept it mired most

Pitching Barrier to Slump.
The schedule devisers virtually
have presented assurance to the
Mats that there will be no repeti-
ton of that erratic early maneUver-
ing of last spring. At least they
unwittingly have arranged WASH
n1gton's affairs to the Mats ad-
vantage.
washington could fail to capi-
talize on It's favorable chart, of
course, but the Mats hardly figure
to approach last years woeful start,
when they lost 10 Of their first II
games with the Athletics.
The Mats pitching should serve
to brake any tendency toward a
prolonged slump and Washington's
pitchers doubtless are heartened by
the fact that In 20 of the Mats

QUITE AS IMPORTANT as wars themselves is
clear understanding OF their causes For 10 these
many centuries nations have fought for economic ad-
vantage and II is safe 10 say that by far the greater
number OF wars and the greater have been
rooted in SOME economic motive
In other words the wars OF the past have been
bread wars-wars OF nations fighting for bread.
These bread have wrecked empires and civiliza
lions and have oyerthrown monarchs of mighty do
main. Although religionists and ideslists have
dreamed OF time when among would
cease, such happy time seems far removed in some
ethereal distance too deep for human ken. For all
we know wars Will be upon mankind for many
turtles yet to come for the simple reason only
change of heart will bring an end to and hui
mans are not in the habit of changing their heart
until all other measures have failed, and these are
mutitudes.
Man has TO agonize before he will moralize This
breeds no end of human Although the last
world war was regarded economic in its origin, a
closer inspection OF the underlying motives will re-
veal the race element so studiously overlooked by
our historians The nation OF race superiority DOM
mates the thinking and planning OF the German peo-
pie. This notion is deeply mbedded in the German
MIND and motvates much OF his attitude towards the
present world. Under the kaiser who lies dead in
handing positions OF any modern nation II grew
FESTIVE under the world Nominations OF Great Britain
and the first world war.
II is true that the stakes in the war were eco
monte in many ways: but underlying this drive for
economic advantage the deeper notion that GER
manys right TO power resided in its superior race
In other words. Nietnsch's supermsn was German
and by reason OF his superiority should rule the earth
Underlying tho present is this same superior
race complex Hitler Is expressing in rabid way
what was only family expressed by the Germans OF
the first world war.
