NEW YORK. Dec. 31.—It is cus-
tomary, I believe, to come forward
annually at this stage of the pro-
ceeding's and sonorously announce
that the institution of sports enjoy-
ed a banner year. I hesitate, of
course, to violate the code of the
Banner-Year Association but this
time one can concur only in part,
admitting fifrt that its success was
more artistic than financial.
The only evidence of a banner
vouch a fed by boxing, for instance,
was furnished by ex-promoters who
were, in a word, carrying same.
College football and professional
baseball, the other members of the
Big Trinity of the box office, did
well enough—better, in fact, than
in 1833—but the returns • on % the
whole were nothing to bring out the
town criers and inflame the lower
classes. So much for the financial
end.
Competitively. this twelve-
month was quite as how, the head-
liners of which were as follows:
Max Baer, with his technical
knockout of the mammoth Camera
(down eleven times in as many
rounds), for the World’s heavy-
weight championship.
William Lawson Little, San Fran-]
cisco, who won the British and
American amateur golf titles, for a
performance only equalled by Bob-
by Jones and Harold Hilton.
Fred Ferry, of England. He won
the all-comerfe tennis singles at
Wimbledon; then came to America
and successfully defended his cham-
pionship at Forest Hills. In the
meantime, he led England to a 4 to
1 victory over the United States in
the Davis Cup challenge round.
Tiie St. Louis Cardinals. whose
rush from the rear carried them
past the New York Giants to the
National League title on the final
'day of the race and then took them
on to a victory over the Detroit
Tigers in the world series, the Dean
brothers being monumental figures
in both performances.
The Minnesota football team,
which finished a great season un-
defeated and untied to be general-
ly recognized as the national col-
lege champion.
Bill Cunningham's world record,
4:08 7-10, for one mile; Ben East-
mtn's world record, 1:49 8-10 for
808 metres and 1:50 6-10 for the
half mile; Bill Bonthron’s world
record. 3:48 8-10. for 1,500 metres;
Walter Marty’s world record, 6 feet
9 1-8 for the high jump; Jack Tor-
rance’s wcrld record of 57 feet for
the 18 pound shot.
A glossary of the rest of the year
might run as follows:
Barney Rcss became double
champion of the lightweight and
welterweight divisions by # getting
the decision over Jlmm7 McLamin.
McLarnin, three months later, took
the welterweight title back, also on
decision, these, with the Baer-ear-
ner? fight, were the only box office
successes the Carnera-Loughran
fight at Miami set a new low for
heavyweight championships, a gross
of $45,000, all America was able to
do in tennis was to win the Wim-
bledon and Davis Cup doubles with
Lott and Stoefen. Lott and Stoefen
promptly turned professional.
* Football went off in receipts in
certain spots. Notre Dame having
a fair yeat and Southern California
a downright bad one. campaign
finished with two 80,000 crowds in
succession at Army-Notre Dame
and Army-Navy game. Navy won
for the first time in thirteen years,
undefeated major teams were Min-
neqpta. Alabama and Stanford.
Poughkeepsie regatta resumed,
California winning with Washing-
ton second and Navy third.
East came back and beat the
West in polo 'series. T. O. M. Sop-
with's Endeavor almost came back
and beat Rainbow for America’s
Cup, latter, two down, won last
four races. Mrs. Dodge Sloan won
$251,138 on turf, having Oerby and
Preakness winners in Cavalcade and
High Quest respectively. Cavalcade,
greatest stake hor'se, won $111,235,
all told. Olin Dutra, quite ill, won
the National open golf title with 293
when Sarazen took a 7 to par 4
bole.
American supremacy in England
shattered when Henry Cotton won
British open, he had an all-time
record at his disposal with rounds of
67, 65 and 72. but took 79 on final
round, merely tying Sarazen’s all-
time 283.
There was more, much more, but
this will suffice.
