SPORT SLANTS

While Hambletonian 10, revered stallion of the standard bred sport, is recognized father of the trot- ting turf today, William H. Cane can be described as godfather of the Hambletonian stake.
 Most persons have the idea that the Hambletonian, annually worth $40,000, and the richest harness horse event in the world, is nearly as old an institution as the Ken lucky Derby. But while the Churchill Downs race is more than 60 years old, the 1886 Hambletonian held this month at Goshen, N Y., becomes the tenth of its line.
 That's where Billy Cane enters the picture. He did not originally plan the classic, but he did bring it to national prominence when he succeeded in securing the trot- ting classic for Good Time Track in August, 1930
 In 1923 the stake was officially launched at Syracuse, N. Y. The next year it went to Lexington, Ky, thence back to- Syracuse in 1928 and again to Lexington in 1929. The event was subject to competi- tive bidding, in 1880, MT. Cane put in the high bid and the Ham, bletonian was his.
 Kentucky Derby" ot Trotting
 Ever since 1930 Billy Cane has seen to it that the Hambletonian not only was held at Goshen, but that it became better known each year. If ever there was such a thing as a godfather in the trotting Armament, he is just that. From the beginning, the race, rich as it always has been, and starring the crack 3-year-olds of the country, never seemed able to rid itself of

the general impression that it was nothing more or less than a slight ly better show than was to be seen at the average country fair. This condition existed until 1930. Then year saw the first slow steps being taken to lift the Hambletonian to it's rightful role in the sports world. that of the Kentucky Derby of the trotting turf.
 Today many people believe that the race has been around a long time, but that, for some reason or other. they hadn't noticed it before.
 For many years the sport of trot- ting was out of the public mind and eye. Then, several years ago, the Trotting Horse Club of America, with E. Roland Hartman as chair man, and Billy Cane as leading officer, decided to do something about it. They decided to tell the sports-loving public about trotting. To that end they rumped the prob lem into the lap of Alden Calkins and let him work out the saliva tion of the trotting game.
 West Coast Shot0S Interest
 Calkins knew less than nothing about his task when he took over selling the trotters to the public, but it didn't take him long to dis cover what it was all about. His training as newspaperman fitted him for the job. He knew what the newspapers could and would print. Today, he, himself, is com pletely sold on the trotters, so the task of selling to the public is not so difficult.
 That's why the trotting sport is well on it's way to national promi- hence. The Habletonian stake has helped no end, with its appeal to metropolitan New York, urban ar eas nearby, and the surrounding rural districts. In fact, the race has taken the nation by storm, with

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ANNAPOLIS, May 18-Crew Coach
Charles Walsh of the Navy has a
problem on his hands as to which
Grey-Dick or Jim-clasSmates, but
unrelated and from different States,
he will pick to stroke his varsity crew.
Dick Grey, regular No. Z, was picked
to be stroke this season, but had to
go to the hospital for an operation
some time before the season. He is
now ready to get back into the game,
but in the meantime, Jim Grey has
stroked the crew to its three victories,
ending with the triumph over Penn
and Harvard Saturday in the Childs
Cup race.
Walsh considers Dick Grey one Of
the best oarsmen he ever has coached,
but Jim has put over fine piece of
work and it would seem to be unwise
to drop out the stroke OF a winning
combination.
The Navy crews will now start to
prepare for the long race at Pough-
keepSie, and a change in the crew
that will admit both Greys is posi-
bility,
