CLOSE OF WAR
TOSEEREVIVAL
OFHORSERACE
With the end of the war, the Blue
<Grass region of Kentucky, commonly
known as “the home of the race
■horse,” is again coming into its own,
•according to prominent horsebreeders
here. The region, with its famous
grassy pastures, especially adapted to
the needs of horse-raisers, comprises
hundreds of farms of rolling table-land
■ devoted almost entirely to the raising
of quality thoroughbreds. The famous
farms are'owned by Kentucky, New
York, Maryland and English and
French turfmen.
Kentucky ranks first in production
of show horses. More breeding studs
are in the state now than ever before.
Approximately 1,300 foals have been
registered from the state, produced
iiuui u,uuu inai oo auu auuui i o ouvo.
The matter of foals represent more
than half the entire number registered
■with the Jockey Club. Registrar W.
H. Rowe announced that 2,000 colts
and fillies had been recorded for regis
tration in the Stud Book.
New York owners of farms include
Major August Belmont, whose nurs
ery has been maintained in Kentucky
for years. Harry Paine Whitney, who
purchased half interest in the Elmen
dorff tract; Richard R. Wilson, who
has under lease the noted Kirkleving
ton farm, and William B. Miller, a
partner in the stud at Beaumont farm
with Hal Price Headley; Edward R.
Bradley, formerly of Chicago, owns an
extensive farm in this district.
Kentucky horses not only compete
on the four famous race-tracks clc.’e
to the bluegrass but measures speed
in all other big events of this and
other countries.
Ball Player at the Front.
Leon J. Cadore, formerly a pitcher
with the Brooklyn Nationals and now
a lieutenant with the American army
of occupation, in a letter to “Red”
Smith, former St. Louis Nationals
outfielder, tells of his experiences at
the front and incidentally pays trib
ute to the fighting qualities of the
negro soldiers now in France.
Cadore is with the 369th regiment,
formerly the 155th New York (negro)
regiment, which was awarded the
Croix de Guerrue by the French com
manding general for its operations as
a combat unit in the offensive in the
Champagne sector last September
ana October.
Despite exciting experiences Cadore
is willing to call it enough and return
to the United States.
“Red, it will be a happy day for
me,” he writes, “when 1 hear that we
are going home. You know that I am
anxious to make the spring training
trip with the Brooklyn club andagain
feel as though I am in the land of the
living. I think baseball will have a
big year. Should I be lucky enough
to get home this spring I know I will
be set for a big year on the slab.”
The letter states that Cadore’s was
the first American regiment to reach
the Rhine. Describing the fighting
•qualities of the negro troops under his
command Cadore says:
“On occasions too numerous to
count we were in the thick of the
fighting and the noble work done by
these negro troops was wonderful.
Every man in my company fought
with the courage of a lion.”
Favors Amateur Bouts.
Professional boxers will not find a
baven in Cincinnati, for Mayor Galvin
Intends to keep down the lid which he
clamped down last summer. He has
not receded from his stand that com
mercialism had gained too strong a
hold on the sport.
The mayor will make no attempt to
stop amateur bouts, but the bars will
remain against professionals until a
satisfactory method of eliminating the
dollar sign is devised. The mayor
said, however, that he had no objec
tion to bouts staged by clubs as long
as they complied with the state law.
"But," explained Mayor Galvin,
"when I say ‘clubs’ I mean clubs. X
won’t stand for clubs with temporary
or ancient charters camouflaged to
make money.”
Coming Bowling Tourney.
Seven hundred teams is the goal set
by oflicials of the Toledo Bowling As
sociation for the American bowling
congress tournament to be held three
weeks, beginning March 8. More than
two hundred Toledo teams will be ent
ered and these will have the first five
days of the tournament A, L. Lang
try, of Milwaukee, secretary of the
