BANNER HORSE RACING YEAR.
Record Broken at County Fair Sea-
sons Champion is Campfife.

The racing season of 1915 marked
the return of the old time popular Sc
ries of spirited struggles. Larger
stakes were offered and the thorough
breds which participated on. the rings
were keyed up to high pitch; that is
in most of the divisions it took the
full season before any CHAMPIONS could
be. determined with any degree Of GER
tainty.
Probably the most sensational hier
of the year was Campfire, which went
through the year with sweeping sue
cesses, lacking up many brilliant vic
tories.
To local horsemen the season Of 1915
will long be remembered as the track
record for a mile at the New London
Country Agricultural socfetys course
was smashed by Baron Hal, a brown
gelding owned by, ]. r. Blumenthal of
Hartford. who circled the, half mile
track twice in 2.10 fiat The old record
was established by Eastern Direct,

BASEBALL SEASON WAS
THE GREATEST EVER.
Restoration of Peace With the Feds a
Feature-New York Giants Created
Sensation.

| The greatest event in baseball dur
| ing the 1916 season, which later de-
veloped into a poisoning season, was
the restoration of peace between the
Federal league and the two major
| leagues, American and National. AL
though the baseball war was practical
| ly ended late in the season of 1915 the
peace negotiations were not COM
pleted until the year 1916 was well
under way. When the Feds passed out
of existence many of the players who
had jumped contracts to go to the
outlaws were taken back and many
of the players were looking for situa-
lions. Harvests were reaped by some
of the Federal league owners in the
sale of players. and it is without doubt
that Harry F. Sinclair receiyed.s the
greatest benefits through the sale of
players. 81
One of the biggest events of the sea-
son was the sale of Iris Speaker who
held the center garden position for the
Boston Red Sox for number of sea-
sons and who was a tremendous asset
to the team. Speaker was sold to the
Cleveland team for a sum which ap-
proximated something like $4,000.
Largest Attendances.
In the American league the total of
attendance was more than a million
in excess of that in 1915, while in the
National league the attendance exceed
ed that of any previous season in the
40 years of its existence Everywhere
on the major league circuit there was
a revival of interest and the game rose
trium phantly from the muddled state
into which it had fallen as a result of
the Federal league invasion. Baseball
came back to it's own in the major
leagues, but the minors had a poor
season. -
The Boston Red Sox won the worlds
series, defeating the Brooklyn club,
winners of the National league pen
nant, in four games out of five. The
International league championship was
won by Buffalo. Louisville won the
title in the American association. New
London won the Eastern league cham
pionship.
The biggest competitive feature of
the year was the unusual season of the
New York Giants. This club, after a
poor start in the National league race,
went west on its first trip Of the sea-
son and won all its games, II straight
Then, after another period of miserable
playing, the team was strengthened by
the acquisition of several star players
and during September the New York
club established a new and unheard-
of record in major league baseball
McGraw's sensational team won 26
games straight The best previous
major league record was 20 straight,
by the Providence club In 1884.
Giants a Sensation.
Throughout the championship season
the Americana Eleague clubs sustained
the high standard of baseball which
they showed in 1915, while insthe Ma
falling OF in the standard, of play.

r
Track athletics like other branches
of sport, had a. succeseful season in
1916, going beyond the usual standard
with worlds records being smashed
frequently; besides the track records
which were lowered.
Throughout the year there were
many sensational hurdle performances
all ever the country, and record times
were made in clearing the sticks.
Sensational feats were performed by
Ted Meredith, Frey Murray. Hannes
Kolehmainen, Johnny Overton, Andy
Mucks and others.
Althougn the famous olympic games
had to be- omitted this year owing to
the European war. the track athletics
of the year were tfnERd with interna-
tfonal color somewhat when a team
composed. of crack American athletes
bucked up against Swedish athletes in
Sweden, with a result Of cleanup
for Unce Sans best.
Considering the4track athletics local
ly. the season of 1916 blossomed with
what will be a benefit to students at
the Academy in years to come, as the
spiked shoe sport was revived at n. r.
A, and all indications point that 1t is
there to stay during the year track
teams representing the Academy COM
peted in three or four meets, and steps
have been taken by the track enthugi-
asts to have letters awarded for win
uers in meets. AT present the, cinder
track which is under construction on
the campus is almost half finished.
AS in former years, the annual Me-
mortal day five Mile Marathon which
is conducted by the Y. NJ. c.. A. in COM
petition for the large loving cup which
The Bulletin offers for a trophy, was
held, and this event is growing to be
extremely popular. In addition to the.
Marathon race a boys race has been
inaugurated which found favor 1t is
! safe to say that The Bulletin cup COM
petition will be a yearly event which
will be looked forward to.
