Sporting World in Old Year and New
HONOR ROLL OF SPORTDOM, 1918
SPORTS INTEREST IS LIMITED IN HIGH SCHOOL
By An Alumnus. Reviewing the sports of Richmond
High School during the past year is indeed an easy task, as the sports
were confned mostly to basketball. Why there Is no interest taken In track, baseball, tennis, football and
otter outdoor sports, it is hard to say
unless it is the fact that the participants do not get to perform before as large and admiring crowds as they do in basketball.
However, "the-gone-butnot-forgot ten" board of control was to blame to
some extent for not giving more at
tention and encouragement to out
door sports. It is hoped by all concerned that the new school council will push outdoor sports with more energy that has ben the custom. In track, Richmond was represented in two meets. One at Miami Univer- , slty, where they did not compete because of unfit weather conditions. The other was at Cincinnati where they managed to annex one lone point. It was a very poor showing for a school 01' its size and possibilities. In baseball there were no teams of any kind and the same can be said football. Of course football has not been for many years and probably neven will be a high school sport In this city. There was enough interest taken in tennis, but thr seemed to be no one to look after the Interests of a team. Naturally there were no matches with other schools. There is little need to comment on
the showing and outcome of basketball. The year was a success, both financially and in the showing the tram made in the different tournaments. It is sincerely hoped that the student body will liven up and push and back up all sports and all teams during the coming year.
KINGS AND QUEENS OF MAJOR SPORT
PITTSBURG AND GREAT LAKES ARE FOOTBALL CHAMPS
The football teams representing the Great Lakes Naval Station, Pittsburg University, the Cleveland Auxiliary Naval Reserve school, and among the smaller schools, Michigan, Illinois and Iowa were probably the best teams In the United States. Pittsburg can probably claim the championship of the United States in college football while either the Great Lakes team or the Auxiliary Naval Reserve school eleven would have a hold on the service championship of the United States. The University of Iowa had possibly the strongest tenm west of the Mississippi. In the Western conference, the Illinois and Michigan teams went through the entire season without defeat. These two teams were not
scheduled to meet each other and so no championship title can be awarded either of them. In football as In many other sports, the season of 1919 Is expected to be one of the best in many years. Many of the players from the service elevens are returning to their former schools and this will make all the teams stronger.

Practically all branches of sport were continued last year despite the war, with the possible exception of yachting. Yacht racing on the Pacific
and Atlantic was at a standstill because most of the yachtsmen were in different branches of sea or coast service. A few races were staged on the Great Lakes, but none of any importance for the same reason. Professional baseball was cut short because of the work or fight rule, but the big leagues played until Sept. 2. The Boston Red Sox in the American league and the Chicago Cubs in the National league won the big league pennants. Tyrus Raymond Cobb once more lead the American league batters and Zack Wheat won the honors in the old league. Net Honors Divided. Despite the fact that nine of the ten ranking stars of 1917 were in the service the net game gained in popularity by leaps and bounds. The contest
ship, is the star of the women golfers, for the honor of being placed first in the ranking was so close that officials finally re-arranged the system of ranking and placed two men, R. Lindley Murray and William T. Tilden, Jr., in Class 1, designating Murray as number one in that class. The men in the next four classes of two men each, compare to the others of what ordinarily would be the ranking ten. Molla Bjurstedt, the robust Norwegian star who electrified the tennis world a few years ago by her wonderful debut, remained queen of the courts. The tennis committee rightfully placed her as No. 1 in the women's list. Ducotte Gridiron King. Football .under new and novel condions, had the greatest season In Its history. Army and navy service teams developed at camps Nand training stations produced great stars The Cleve
land naval reserve eleven, by virtue of its victory over Glenn Warner's Pittsburg University team, showed itself to be one of the greatest teams, if not the greatest, in the country. Dick Ducotte, fullback of the team, stands out as the big star of the season. His powerful line plunging and his defensive 6kill earn him the title of "greatest player of the year.' There were no championship tournaments in golf. The leading stars of the game, however, gave their time and energy to staging benefit tour
neys for the aid of war organizations and their efforts netted thousands of dollars. Chick Evans was easily the star of these tournaments. His playing in every meet was of championship caliber, which indicates the type of man Evans is. He gave the gallery his best, though there was little at stake.

one will ever want to live through
another year Just like it.
A year of great deeds, it carried the
world through a gamut of emotions
Nations were swayed like children on
a teeter-board, sometimes high in
hopes of victory, sometimes in the
depths of what seemed like a hopeless struggle. It crashed through history,
smashing all precedents. It even left
a gentle spring rain behind it when it
left, something which no other de
parting year was ever known to do.
Neither plans of the weatherman nor
the kaiser had the least iniluence upon it. It did what It pleased. It wrought some queer changes In
America. People who a few years ago had written large upon their credit books when they gave a dollar
to an orphan asylum, learned last year to dig into their pockets when a solicitor approached them, without even asking what the money was wanted for. People became generous, and so easily that it might be called a painless process. While people were taught to give, they were taught to save. The old year was a stern taskmaster. He bad some big deeds to perform and he stood for no trifling. Robust, prosperous looking gentlemen, who are usually described as "good feeders," learned to have their sugar doled out to them by the single spoonfuls and to smile about it Young girls gave up their daily allotment of chocolates. Husbands who "Just had to have meat three times a day," accepted it three times a week without comment. Peo-i
nave wnat they wanted as long as
they had the money to pay 'for it,
went without, so the children and
women of France and Belgium could
have food. Young men who were flabby and un
derdeveloped went into camp and came out second lieutenants. Kids
who had never been away from their
native town in Indiana held the Marne
and kept the Germans out of Paris
Millions of men gave up financial suc
cess and a career to risk their lives
In the trenches.
America may be excused if It claims that 1918 was "its year." Last year saw American boys "making good" as
soldiers alongside veterans from the French and British armies. It saw a victory that was made possible only because of America. When it ended it left an American president in France as the controlling voice in the peace conference. It was a grand year and an eventful one, but common, ordinary, everyday folk may be pardoned if they express a hope that the new year will not be Quite so exacting. Last year gave us bloodshed, victory, heroics.
This year may we have pre-war rations, baseball, and peace.

CINCINNATI, Jan. 1. The National
Baseball Commission will hold its annual meeting in Cincinnati next Monday. President John A. Heydler, of the National League; President B. B. Johnson, of the American League, will be in attendance and the financial budget will be approved. Chairman Herrmann said last night
that the commission would not organ
ize for next season until after the joint meeting of the American and National League in New York January 16. Johnson, Heydler and Barney Dreyfus will meet at French Lick Springs Friday and arrange for the major league schedule for 1919. The number of games has already been fixed at 140 and it is eaid they will-be distributed over a period of about five months and 10 days. Kid Gleason Manager of ' Chicago Baseball Club CHICAGO, Jan. 1 William (Kid) Gleason last night was named manager of the Chicago Baseball club, of the American league 'by President Charles A. Comiskey. Gleason, who
succeeds Clarence Rowland, is a veteran, who started his career in Scranton, Pa., in 1SS7. He has been trainer and assistant manager of the Chicago club.
The new manager, who is 53 years
old, started his baseball career in 1887
as a pitcher with the Scranton (Pa.)
club, and later developed into a star
second baseman. He was a member
of the famous Baltimore Orioles from
1893 to 1895, and played with the New
York Giants from 1896 to 1900. He
ended his eareer as a player with the
Philadelphia Nationals in 1907.

born at Sparta, Greece, in 1890 the
city which for ages has been renowned for its warriors. As a youngster you probably read of the Spartan lad
who concealed a fox, or some sort of
an animal, under his tunic and when cnfronted let the creature claw at his bare body without giving a sign of discomfort or agonyIt was Sparta where the women in the long ago insisted on their men coming home from war either carrying their shields or lying on them. George (Chicago K. O.) Brown is a modern version of the ancient Spartan. Rugged, rough and aggressive, he has battled, scrapped. It has been characteristic of Brown that the greater the odds against him the better he went. It seemed to give him the greatest pleasure to meet the toughest foes, whether they outweighed him or not. He has exchanged wallops in long round affairs with such leaders as Mike Gibbons, Jack Dillon, Brencan and Gorge Chip.

Frankie Burns, the New York boxer, is considering the question of ad' vancing into the featherweight division and making an effort to capture the title of that class. Burns' weight has increased to a point where he could not comply with the 118 pound mark dictated by Pete Herman, the champion of the bantam class. It would be an interesting thing if a fighter of Burns' class entered the featherweight class, for there is a

The tennis outlook for 1919 is promising, now that the soldiers are being discharged. It is probable that many of the stars of a few years ago will be back in the tourneys this coming season. R. Norris Williams and Johnson and many others have been in the fighting in France and they will probably return to the courts in 1919.
