So far as the Eastern states were con-

an utter blank. Not a contest or note

volved upon the Middle and Far West to
uphold the prestige of the United States
as a supporter OF the sport.
This was fairly well done, as Indian

WORLDS RECORDS CRASH DOWN ON ALL SIDES IN
A REMARKABLE YEAR FOR SPORTS OF ALL KINDS
Much To Be Proud
of in Sports

Not the least satisfactory feature Of
n wonderful year In sports was the al
most Uniform success of American ath-
letes In international competition.
Great Britain, as usual. was the chief
rival. but other countries took a hand in
striving to carry OF the horrors.
The Davis lawn tennis cup was returned
to this country through the efforts of
Mclaughlin. Williams and Hackett, Eng
land being the defending nation.
The international polo cup WAS retained
by the great four Of Meadow Brook after
two hard fought exciting games, Eng
land being the challenger.
Francis Ouimet, an amateur. defeated
the greatest and best Of Great Britain
in winning the open golf championship
here. while Heinrich Schmidt carried
Harold II. Hilton TO an extra hole in one
OF the late rounds in the amateur cham
pionship Of Great Britain.
England captured the international
motor boat cup. thanks To the amazing
speed and reliability Of the Maple Leaf
". while Miss Gladys Ravcuscron in

national golf title across the Atlantic.

Boxing Now on
SOunder Basis

Although there has been a temporary
slump in boxing during the last SIX
months. the sport is on sounder basis
now than ever before IN its history
There are approximately fifty clubs con-
Quoting bouts I'm the various parts or the
state. and the great majority of these
arc thriving This is made apparent oy
the report OF the State Athletic Commits
sion. which governs the sport I'm New
York. During the last year $4,000 has
flowed into the Golfers OF the state, per
cent OF the gross receipts OF every boxing
entertainments This is $4,000 less than
the sum received last year, but that de-
crease is easily explained.
All told il6 licenses were issued. the
greater number OF these In the first year
of the new law. when many believed that
an Ell Dorado was about to be opened 10
the pioneers Many Of these clubs failed
but tire per cent tax was eXacted from
every entertainment. and so swelled the
receipts of the state.
No new worlds champions have been
crowned One reason is perhaps that the
various title holders were loath 10 rlsh
their laurels. Johnny Coulon, for eA-
ample. the bantamweight champion. has
not fought a championship battle since
he gained questionable decision over
Frankie Burns In New Orleans IN feo-
ruary 1912. Willie Richie fought Joe
Rivers only since he whipped Ad VOL
cast executing his one match with Leach
Cross here I'm this city. l[ilbane, too, re-
newly won title. while Jack johnson
toxed only one ten-round bout on Decem-
Der 10 in France. and because OF an IN
Jury had to be content with draw
against Battling Jim Johnson.
There are many, however, who declare
George Chip the champion middleweight
OF the world Chip, II will be remembered,
knocked out Frank Klaus, who styled
himself champion as the result of vic
tories over the best men in Europe.
"Gunboat" Smith stands out as perhaps
the most promising of the white heavy
weights at the present writing. He is q
terrific hitter and is rapidly picking up
boxing skill. His defeat of the once
mighty Sam Langford has placed him In
the front ranks of the men of his class.
Georges Carpenter won the heavyweight
championship of Europe by defeating
"Bombardier' Wells, the English cham
pion in one round.
The French Federation OF Boxing made
an attempt to strip Jack johnson Of his
championship title. and appealed to the
State Athletic Commission Of New York
for support, but Charles J. Harvey, the
secretary. cabled the French solons that
the negro was recognized as worlds
champion in this country.
At the present writing the champions
of the respective classes are as follows:
Bantamweight, Johnny Coulon; feather
weight, Johnny Kilbane; lightweight.
Willie Richie; weterweight. open; mid
dleweight, open; heavyweight, Jack john
son.

year. Pat RYAN was the outstanding attn
letc in the hammer throw. ON september

giant threw the sixteen pound hammer
$50 feet inches. and month later ne
tossed the twelve-pound hammer 2l3 feet,
9ls inches establishing marks which VIII

self. He has to his credit. in addition to
these marks. the worlds record for toss
ing the thirty-fye-pound weight 81 feet 3
inch. and forty-two- pound stone IS feet
III, inches ...
In June. Pat Donovan tossed tho fifty
slx-pound we ght Is feet. 81. inches in the
air. and thereby set up a new mark. An
other notable performance was the put OF
50 feet %. inches. with the eighteen
pound shot. made by the late Ralph
Rose, who was the king OF all shot
putters.
The standing high jump record was
raised to feet 5@4 inches by Leo
Goehrlng. of the Mohawk Athletic Club'
surprising Ray Ewry's mark by half an
inch. The pole vaulters and running
broad and high jumpers were not up TO
the standard OF other years. Bruno Brodd
made new record by throwing the jave-
lin 1853 feet 1O'. inches. Early in June
Fred g. Thompson. a theological student
at Princeton University, scored IiSs
points in the all-around track and held

ord held for several years by Martin
Sheridan. who is now New York po-
