NEW YORK. Dec. 31. The sand in the,ycar-glas3 of
-sport has dwindled to the last grain once again.
Old Father Time turned the glass over, and yith
us turning i2i passed into tne vistas or history.
" The year was the most brilliant the eport world has ever
seen. Like 1920, it was highly flavored by international
competition, and the increase in intersectional contests in the
United States added to its luster.
Where 1920 had its Olympic games and its international
yacht race, 1921 boasted its "Battle of the Century" and in
tern ntional tennis and golf events of unusual brilliancy.
1 Down the 12-month stretch recorders of sporting events listed many
!erforinanre- the like of which was not deemed possible a few years ago.
, Records of alL'orts went crashing into the discards and attendance at big
events rcached'nroportions that stand as an undeniable proof that sport is
constantly Rrowing; in popularity.
' America's international sporting relations are becoming more cordial
year by year, while here, at home, good-natured rivalry has never been
warmer and the' ability disnlayed by athletes in all sections of the country
(indicates that sport is making rapid and progressive steps in all of its
branches. . '

Nearly 100 '100 spectators crowded
'Tex Ricknrd's monster Jersey City
arena cm July 2. and while that vast
throng of humanity watched Dcmp
sey knock his opponent out in four
rounds, followers of sKrt throughout
the world waited eagecly for returns
,from the ringside. No sport event
now in prospect can approach the
. Dempsey-Carpenticr fight, which
j.was the best advertised, most high
ly financed and colorful event ever
staged. "
' -The world's series, w'ott by the
" GianM from the Yankees, attracted I
'269.976 "spectators for a total gate of
unsatisfactory affair, and their liter
meeting in Jersey City was a farce.
For the first time in the history of
modernized base ball -New York mo
nopolized the world's series.
John McGraw piloted his Giants to
the Nifonal league championship,
and the New York Yankees cap
tured the first American league pen
nant the metropolis has ever had.
What happened in the world's se
ries occurred too recently for re
counting here except-to 'ccord once

Yanks into camp in five out of eight
games and annexed ' their second

for' an" Outlay of something like

j The Davis cup matches and na
! tional tennis championships drew
crowds. The galleries that followed
I, the b;g clwmpionshiify gotmatches
' were greater rlW'tvJtr before' and
horse and auto racing flourished.
Every branch of sport, in fact, from
track and field athletics on down the
" line was well patronized and took
well-defined steps ahead during tne
year. '. '
California's athletes kept in the
limelight throughout a brilliant sea
son of track and field games.
The sharp-spiked boys of the Uni
versity of California.' captured the . in
tercollegiate , team championship
games at Cambridge,' Mass.; and the
sons of the Golden state in general
did themselves proud, especially Char
ley Paddock,. who knocked world's,
records in the .dashes galley west.
The Penn relays, the special games'
between Yale-Harvard and CornelU
Princeton teams against the com
bined Oxford-Cambridge team from
England, and the annual A. A. U.
indoor and outdoor meets were great
successes. Yale and .Harvard "de
feated the invading Ox"ford-Cam--bridge
aggregation, but the English
men found some balm for their feel
ings by holding Princeton and Cor
nell to a tie in a dual meet at Trav
ers Island. '.-,'... 'J

year, and thongJi defeated at Prince

the Poughkeepsie event, which, with
a victory in the American Henley,
gave the Annapolis outfit the top
rung on the rowing ladder.
Boxing Advanced to ','-
Still Higher Plane,
Babe Ruth, though, he failed to
star in the world's series,'' got his
share of glory out of the. season by
smashing his own home-run record
of 54 circuit Swats. The big slugger
hammered out a total of 59 homers
during' the regular , American league
season and added one in the world's
series.
Hornsby and He'lman
Top Major Swatsmiths.
Roger Hornsby of the St. Louis
Cardinals grabbed the batting cham
pionship of the National league for
the second time and' Harry Hei
mann of Detroit nosed duf Tv Cobb
for the American league batting
crown. ..(. , . ....
The interest shown in base ball in
1920 was upheld during the recent
season-in. -both major and -.minor
leagues; and -the. magnates .for .-the
most part had something on the
right side of the ledger when sched
ules came to a close. The tendency
on. the part of. some minor league
magnates to spend more money than
they could well afford, however, ate
up-funds that should have gone down
as profits, and President Michael
Sexton of. the National Association
of Professional Base Ball leagues,
has recommended a policy of re
trenchment for"I922 as a result.)
The BttiTalri meeting of the minor
leagues brought forth some astonish
ing deals, and while the much-talked-of
$150,000 Groh-Burns-Gonzales deal
between' the Giants, and Keds was
the biggest in -a cash way, the pur
chase of 'First Baseman O'Connel!
"from San jVahcisco by New. -York
for. $75,000- cash ..and. 1923 'delivery,
and other cfeals with Coast league
clubs by the .majors sets something
of a record'. - These deals involved
$160,000 and some players, as follows:

Billiards, wrestling, boxing, base

of new title holders.

players as the stars was only rc

Dozens of blayers irom coast to

feats on the gridiron that amazed the
spectators. .
Such men as Uien tsjuinger, tne
country's outstanding star; Aubrey

Yale, George Owen of Harvard, Mc
Millan and Stephens of California,
Bo McMillin of Centre, and Kiley
and Castncr of Notre Dame, not to
mention others all too numerous for
individual notation here, made the
19-21 season a red-letter year in the
history of the gridiron game.
" Eastern foot ball developed so
many fine teams that it was impossi
ble . at the close of the season to
award the championship to any one
pf .them. Iowa, in the Big Ten;
California, on the Pacific coast; Ne
braska, in the' Missouri Valley, and
Centre college, in the south, were
recognized as 'the best elevens in
their respective sections.

the rest of the boys. I think it is
understood that I can play in the ex-
