.SPORTS. ~ TO GAIN HIGHEST PLANE, SPORT LEADERS PREDICT New Records in Interest, Participation and At- tendance Are Looked for in Amateur and Professional Ranks. iy the Associated Press. That these opinions are based upon substantial grounds is shown by the rapldly increéasing list of important con- tests—international. national and inter- national—which are being . addéd to the 1922 sport schedules. International tennis, golf, yachting and track meets are aiready in the making: numerous intersactional foot ball games have been carded and there will be a wider in- crease in entries for various national championskips, both numerically and zeographically, than in the past. From all sections of the nation comes the report that interest in sport is steadily growing: the formation of new interscholastic and intercollegiate as- soclations: wider ' participation zames: the development. physically. of the yout of tne land and the belief that sport iIn the broadest application of the word will be a growing factor in the history of America for decades to come These reports are borne out in the foliowing forecasts and analyses pre- pared by prominent sport authorities for the Associated Press: Base Ball, “While the old axiom. “Take nothing for granted in base ball’ still holds good. 1 think that I can safely predict another banner year for the game,” said Presi- dent John A. Hevdler of the National Heague “Certainly there are numerous signs which would appear to indicate a proserous season ahead for the club owners and interesting pennant races and play for the fans. ‘The past year has been one of sat- isfaetion to both the followers of the rameé and those financially interested. Theé major league penrant races devel- oped an unusually close and dramatic climax and the world serles was one of £ t in history. There was no lack of confidence or popularity and the game was well supported in both the major and minor lesgue cities. The selection of Judge Landis, as base ball commis- sioners, with the subsequent restoration anfl retention of public confidence in the integrety of the sport. was prehaps the | outstanding feature of 1921 Tennis. In considering the prospects for an exceptionally active vear in tennis during 1922 Julian §. Myrick, presi- dent of the United States Asociation, states: “I attribute the unprecedented popularity of tennis and sport in general during 1921 to the increasing realization by the public that physical | X, health. more pleasure in living and a chance | Vi exercise means improved to live longer. o far as tennis is concerned. widespread interest. in the game demonstrated by the fact that during 1921 the junior champion was Vincent Richards of New York: Julius Saga- Jowsky, the boy champion, who js & lad under fifteen years, comes from Indianapolis: the intercollegiate champion, Philip Neer, lives in Port- land, Ore., and the semi-finalists in the intercollegiate tournament came from Boston, Dallas, Indianapolis and | San_Francisco. “With the increased interest in tennis being shown In cities, schools and colleges, it is oniy a question of time when the caliber of playe consequently the resultant popularity of the sport. will increase propor- t throughout the land. t is my opinion that this popu- larity of tennis will continue to in, crease not only during 1922 but for many years to come. The international years to come. The international competitions next year should be among the best which have ever been held. We are informed that Austra- lia expects to send on a great team; South Africa has a team of young men who have been improving de- cidedly since 1919 and they expect to be among the challengers this year; the Japanese are also strength- ening their team to say not of the European teams. so it though the Davis cup will again have a great year and aftract tremendous interest.” Our own championships should be up to the high standard which they have always maintained.” Koot Ball. “Theé unprecedented popularity of foot ball in 1921 and the overwhel- ming evidence that the coming season will gee the game reaching new rec- ords in every department of the sport is' a splendid tribute to the ®ame and those who play it.” This statement was made by Walter Camp, secretary of the intercollegiate football rules committee. “It goes beyond that, however,” continued Camp, “for to my mind it is a clear indicatlon of the apprecia- tion of physical fitness and the ad- miration in which lessons learned during the war greatly increased this appreciation but the admiration for and the de- sire to participate in clean sport is inherent in the American people.” it is held. The “‘Football as played by the hundreds . of college teams throughout the country brings out these qualities in a mahner equaled in few other sports. The game even to the novice spectator is full of thrills and with the rapidly increasing technical knowledge possessed by sands who watch the play. certain that foot ball will continue 1o increase in popularity for years to come."” Trap Shooting. A 50 per cent Increase in the pop- ularity of trap shooting and a record entry of more than 1,200 contestants in the Grand American handicap at Atlantic City next September, is the prediction of Secretary-Manager Mc- Linn, of the American Trapshooting Assoclation for the 1922 season. “Part of the popularity of the sport Is due to the aftermath of the wa Thousands of young men Jearned to handle a gun and the fascination of shooting while in service and 90 per cent are eager to continue it either as a competitive sport or recreatlon. We now have one of the most complete sport gov- ‘erning and recording organizations in the world. Wi stantly improving, the inclusion of the amateur bodies and the knowl- odge that target shooting can be in- duiged in almost the year around, 1 believe I am safe in saying that the followers of this sport will double during the next two years.” Boxing. “The American people like excite- ment,” said Tex Rickard in discuss- ing the remarkable growth of sport in_the past two yvears and the out- look for the coming season. “This demand for excitement is shown by the manner whiéh supply thrills are patronized. ., of course ranks well to the fofe in this category, and, while the last twelve months’ has witnessed grest increase of Interest, record at- ‘tendance and receipts, I am in- clined to believe that the nmew year rpass the old in this respect. ile 1922 18 not likely to witness anétMer bout of the international callbér and interest of the Dempsey- Carpentier contest I think that there will b6 an increase in the number of bouts and the localities in which such mitehés may be held sin conformity 1o the law.” Track Field.
