One of the greatest years in the
history of the American trotter and
PAGER closes with 1921 During the
four months which mark the heat of
the strife the worlds trottIng record
was equalled at Syracuse and three
weeks later was lowered at Lexington
where two trotters beat two minutes,
the first time such a thing has oc-
cured. Racing down the big line and
on the half-mile track circuit, the
Metropolitan in particular was OF high
order, average time was fast and con-
tention keen.
The greatest achievement Of the
year was the new worlds record for
trotters by Peter Manning. That in
comparable gelding showed mile close
TO 2:06 in the fail OF 1919 whereupon
Irving W. Gleason, q Williamsport, Pa,
millionaire sportsman, commissioned
Thomas W. Murphy to buy him, and
the reputed price was $4,000. During
the season of 1920 Peter Manning came
up to all expectations, won the Tran
sylvanja and other classics, and ended
with record OF 2:02la.
Trained for Mile Record
There being no engagements for the
gelding this year Murphy pointed him
for the fastest mile in history and
gradually worked to it. When at SYRIA
cuse in September Peter Manning trot-
ted in 1853 he equaled the record OF
Uhlan made in 1912 So it was no
surprise when at Lexington in October,
with all conditions favorable, Peter
Manning trotted in 1.57 3-5, Official
time, although some outside watches
Murphy got into the two-minute list

Guy in 1881 at Lexington, lowering
the record for four -year-old trotters
Neither of these horses raced in
competition. The king OF the race

for which Walter r. Cox paid a fancy
figure the fall before. Grayworthy won

Of Hoppe Stunning Surprise

sHo los by kHEZHM

Young Jake Schaefer, the Chicago
boy who crashed into the billiard Hall
of Fame last month by wrestling the
worlds 1872 balkline championship
from Willie Hoppe in one of the most
sensational matches In the history Of
the game. supplied the amazing climax
Of an interesting year at this popular
indoor sport. Hoppe, who is a New
York boy. had ruled supreme for nearly
seventeen years and his downfall was
one of the greatest upsets in sportdom.
The twenty ty-seven-year-ol son Of
the Wizard" earned q tie with Hoppe
in the national tournament ut Chicago
by trouncing Willie, 400 to 26, at their
first meeting, and on the next evening
in the play-off he beat the champion,
500 to 346 It was that A00-to-6 score,
matter of six short innings, that
broke the heart of Hoppe He never
recovered his confidence, and Jake out
played him throughout In the playoff.
Jake's father, who died ten years
ago once told him TO "be a champion
or nothing" and young Jake has GER
tainly made good He is one Of the
nerviest players in the game and is an
excellent judge Of speed with which
to stroke his ball. In addition, he has
the most delicate touch Of any man in
the game, and in recent years has
mastered the art of nursing to high
degree

Champions After Win

The University of Pennsylvania was
last winter represented by basket
ball team which outclassed any other
amateur or collegiate combination in
the country. In addition to winning
the intercollegiate championship, the
Quakers also decisively defeated the
New York University five, which held
the amateur championship OF the coun-
try.
The year was marked by an enormous
increase in the popularity of basket
ball in both amateur and collegiate
ranks. This was especially true of the
intercollegiate League. where the com
petition was the best seen in years
Dartmouth. which had been considered
a failure at the court game, showed
surprising strength in finishing second
30 the Penn team in the league stand
ing.
The amateur championship of the
country was held at Kansas City, and
owing to the enormous expense which
q trip so far West would entail, only
one Eastern team ventured to enter the
tourney. The Brooklyn College club
was the Eastern representative, but did
not show up very we'll. The title was
won by the Kansas City Athletic Club.
1t was unfortunate that the tourney
should be held so far West, because
the Crescent Athletic Club five, Of
Brooklyn, was unable to make the Jour
ney. The Crescents had the best club
team in the East, and at one stretch
had a string Of twenty-eight consecu-
tive victories over college and amateur
teams.
Danny McNichol, of the Penn five,
was the outstanding individual figure
in the college basketball world He
was remarkably accurate in shooting
goals from the foul line, and won sew
eral contests for the Red and Blue
through this skill. Tom Cullen, of
Dartmouth, was one of the leading
SCORERS in collegiate ranks.

The brilliant performances with the

evidence Of the most successful wear
