AMERICANS HAVE
SPORT MONOPOLY

New York, March 16-All indica.
tions point to another season of great
athletic activity throughout the United
States during 1915. All possibility
of international contests such as fea-
tured the past two years appear to
have been eliminated as q result of
the European war, but national, sec
tional and inter-sectional sports and
competitions will undoubtedly con-
tinue to increase in the next II months
Because of the size and population of
the country these events will arouse
almost as much interest as would be
the case We're foreign nations repre-
sented on track, turf and water.

is carrvino the American of all ages
and both sexes into the onen is still
far from its maximum development.
National events and CHAMPIONSHIPS
will also take on added Importance in
1915. since they will not suffer By
comparison with international con-
tests and foreign fixtures of greater
traditional merit In fact, America
will have almost monopoly on sport,
since few if any. of the European ma
tions or their colonies will have either
time or inclination for competition or
pastime next year. The action of the
various English sport governing bod
les clearly forecasts the temporary
abandonment Of all the famous Euro
pean classics. The Henley regatta
and the Oxford Cambride boat races
have been set over for year at least.
Polo is out of the question. and the
