BASEBALL.

The see.saw battle between the
Cubs and Pirates for the Ma
tional League pennant was the
only feature that saved the major
league baseball season Of 1882
from being a complete "washout,"
as far as close competition was
concerned.
The New York Yankees, with a
prize collection of heavy hitters
and brilliant tossers, began walk
ing away from rival American
League clubs early in June. They

halfway place and never allowed
any other contender to get within

after, finishing 13 games lhead

Then the Yanks slaughtered
tn Cubs in the world series in
four straight games, running their
string of victories in post-season
classics to IL straight games.
Series a Farce
The series was little more than
farce, with the Cubs almost
helpless before the relentless power
of the Yankees. Numerous freak
records were established, one Of
which was made in tie fourth

the plate. The two teams were
guilty of IA errors and as many
more mental bonerS.
The Yanks hit eight home runs
and the Cubs three. New York
rolled up an astounding team

Disappointment because of 1882
performances, a desire to pave the

the unprecedented orgy Of trading
that set in after the close Of the

There are husbands who come

There's one cigar that "never

sold for ten cents. Increased sales

it down to a nickel. And now, it's
growing faster than any other

SMASHING WIN
IN OLYMP|CS /.

The smashing victory Of Amer
leans at the 1892 Olympic Games
in Los Angeles served notice on
the rest Of the world that this
country remains supreme in the
athletic world.
The United States had accu.
mulated some 2961z points in the
Olympic track and field event,
which was far above that Of the
nearest invader, Finland, which
had 72. The United States won
II Olympic titles, more than one
third Of the total 'iecided.

Thirteen world and % olympic
marks were smashed during the
one week Of the tsack and field
events. The swimmers, chipped
in with 10 new Olympic marks
and two world records.

HECTIC SEASON
FOR RACING

AS Old Father Time prepares
to turn a new leaf, the racing
world looks back upon 1892 as a
hectic year.
The outcome of the years rae
ing found the juvenile, as well
as the 3-year-old division, unset
tied with opinion divided as to
which horse Is entitled to the re-
spective crown. Outstanding ju-
veniles divided the major stakes
Of their division so widely among
themselves that the king of them
all remains unnamed. The three
year-old crown, at best, rests
jointly with Burgoo King, Gusto
and Faireno, each having a fair
claim yet lacking a deciding mar,
gin.
Equipoise was the years turf
hero and undiSputed monarch of
the handicap class by reason of
his 10 victories out of IA starts
In the Delavan Handicap he
established a new worlds record
Of 1874 2-5 for the circular mile.
He finished his 1882 career as
the only four-year-old in American
racing history to win more than
100000.
One of the most coIorful events
Of the year was the victory of the
Australian champion, Phar Lap,
in the rich Aqua Caliente Handi,
cap. His sudden death shortly
thereafter shocked the entire turf
world.
Burgoo King brought a Ken
tucky Derby victory to Col. E. R.
Bradley for the third time. The
Bradley horse also annexed the
historic Preakness to become the
third horse ever to win both of
these classics. A rupture in his
left foreleg caused his early re-
tirement.

1882 IS BLEAK
FOR NATION s
ELEVENS

The 1892 football season was in
many ways one Of the poorest in
years. Attendance fell off con.
sidsrably over previous years;
there were few outstanding
players. Southern California
seemed to have the best claim to
the national championship, a.
though 1t still must prove this IN
its post-Season game with Pitt.
It's greatest feat was its complete
rout of Notre Dame, the team
which had previously bowed only
to O Pittsburgh eleven that had
one Of those inspired days.
In the East, Colgate and Pitt
led the parade, and even today
partisans Of both colleges are
arguing as to which team was
better. Colgate finished unbeaten,
united, unscored on and, as Andy
Kerr added, unlimited" It was
thought that the Red Raiders of
the Chenango had earned the
right to represent the East at the
Rose Bowl tournament, but Pitts
bureh was picked instead.
Pitts Stiff Schedule
Pitt undoubtedly gained the
honor because the Panthers went
through such a stiff schedule. with
Army, Ohio State, Nebraska, No
ire Dame and Pennsylvania all
taking a shot at the team which
Jock Sutherland coached so well.
Other teams in the East which
did well were Brown, which lost
only to Colgate, and Columbia,
which lost only to Brown-that
by one-point margin.
Alabama Poly and Tennessee
came out on top in the South.
In the Big Ten Conference,
Michigan won the honors. Many
thought that Purdue was a better
team. Purdue was unbeaten, but
played one tie.
Few Players Outstanding
It is generally easy to pick the
outstanding player in the coun-
try. This season, however, there
were few men who stood out from
their mates. Harry Newman,
Michigan signal caller; Ernie
Smith, Southern California;
Kurth, Notre Dame, and Moss,
Purdue, found their names on
practically every All.America team
picked by the experts.
Defensive play was raised to q
very high state of efficiency this
past season, which cut long runs
and individual feats to a mini
mum.

VINES CROWNED
TENNIS KING

Ellsworth Vines sits at the head
Of the tennis table today, the
first time in several years that
an American player has been ac-
corded that honor. Two years
ago Vines was just another prom
Using youngSter from the West.
Today he is the acknowledged
king Of the courts, having de-
throned the perennial champion,
Henri Cochet in no uncertain
terms.
After a long series of victories
IN this country last spring, Vines
went abroad to win the Win1ble.
don title. Then, he represented
this country in the Davis Cup
matches with France. The in
Splred Jean Borotra defeated the
young American, but Vines came
back two days later to win from
the invincible Cochet. His ef-
fort wasn't enough to regain the
Davis Cup for Cochet defeated
Wilmer Allison and the latter
also lost to Borotra.

Allison and Johnny Van Ryn
found some consolation in their
win over Cochet and Brugnon,
but the cup remained in France.
Vines returned here to win the
American singles title, the blue
ribbon event Of tennis. He won
from Cochet in straight sets after
Cochet had defeated Allison in
the semifinal round. Thus, Vines
became not only the No. man
in the country, but in the world
ranking. Generally, Cochet was
ranked second with Borotra third.
Keith Gledhill paired with Vines
to win the National Doubles title.
Helen Wills Moody was not
ranked No. / this year in the
women's division because she
didn't compete in the important
American tournaments. Helen
Jacobs, who for several years
has been Helen's closest rival,
won the singles title at Forest
Hills and almost automatically
assumes the No. l position.

SANDLOT SPORT
BIC SUCCESS
DURING 81
BY SID KATZNELL

/. Basketball once again proved
the most attractive Of sports for
independent athletes in the Dis
trict during 1882.
The annual District A. A. U.
tournament once again this year
attracted a banner entry list.
Seven teams were crowned cham
pions in their classes. with Saks
taking the unlimited class title.
Skinker Eagles, by scoring two
victories over Vic Sports shop
five, retained the District semi
pro title won in 1881.
Amateur, semipro ard inde-
pendent teams all had successful
seasons, win interest in their
contests greatly increased over q
year ago. The successes Of 1882
indicate even q better year for
1888.
Baseball Holds Its Own
Sandlot baseball more than
held its own in 1882, but failure
to stage the usual city tourna-
ment vas somewhat of a blow.
The Identification program Of
the District Commissioners inter
fered with the tourney. as Ter
minal Field, where the tourna-
ment was scheduled to be played,
was torn up to carry out a phase
of the program.
Five classes Of teams were in
volved in the Capital City
Leagues schedules. Columbia

Union Printers regained the inter
national typo championship in
the st. Paul competitions, which
they had won many times but

SARAZEN Tops
7. GOLF WORLD

Gene Sarazen, swarthy little
1talian-American, sits on the golf
throne today which Bobby Jones
threw aside for a moving picture
and law career. Sarazen during
the past year won the English
Open tournament with a record
7O-69-70-74 score and then came
home to tuck the American Open
title into his golf kit.
In the National Open he was
pitted against q strong field but
his count Of 286 not only tied the
record but it left such experts as
Bobby Cruickshank, Phil Perkins
and Leo Diegel gaSping behind
him.
Ross Somerville. the Canadian,
came fast at the end to cop the
amateur title He was the first
foreigner to win the crown since
Harry Hilton. Of England, turned
the trick in 1919.
The p. G. A. tournament went
to Olin Dutra and the British
amateur was won by John De-
Forest.
The U. S. Walker team again
beat the British to clearly estab-
lish the superiority of American
golf-at least for 1882. The
american women's golf team did
a nice job in winning a close
match from its British rivals by
a score Of SO points to 80.
Virginia Van VIE wound up as
Americas golf queen when she
defeated Glenna Collett Ware in
the women's amateur.

TITLE DISPUTE
BR|GH I EMS
FIGHT CAME

Save for the sharkey.schmeling
heavyweight championship bout
and the worldwide controversy
that ragged for months after the
decision was given to the Ameri-
can, boxin. went through dull
and listleSs year in 1882.
The verbal battles that followed
in the wake of Sharkey's victory
that gave him the title were
more interesting and injected
more life into the sport than
contest itself.
Some $1,000 fans paid about
$425,000, gross, to watch the
tame bout in the new Madison
Square Garden Bowl, which was
erected expressly for this and
future fights. The net receipts
were about 1881. 900 and Schmel.
ing's end. as champion, was fig
ured as close to $150,0O0. Shar.
key, then the challenger, drew
down about $4,000.
First Glass Bout
Those fans witnessed nothing
more than a firSt-class boxing
match with both fighters ex-
tremely careful. It was apparent
that Sharkey was adhering to q
plan formulated before the fight
and none of Schmeling's reckless
attacks in the closing rounds
could make him deviate from
that plan.
The rest of the boxing world
snored tr ough the year with few
outburstS of action. Tony Canzo-
neri, lightweight champion, re-
turned to active competition and
successfully defended his title
tgainst Billy Petrolle.
Passes Up Title
BAT" Battalino passed up his
featherweight crown because he
could not make the weight any
longer. He then invaded the 1876
pound division, where ne took a
terrific beating from Billy Pet
lolle, one that practically elm
ina ted hir" from the big time.
The featherweight class was in
another mixup with two cham
pions on the horizon. Tommy
Paul, Buffalo, is recognized as
the N. B. A. titleholder, while
the New York commission put
forth Kid Chocolc Of Cuba, as
its champion.
