	Boxing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Boxing, also called pugilism, Western Boxing, prizefighting (when referring to professional boxing) or the sweet science (a common nickname among fans), is a sport and martial art in which two participants of similar weight fight each other with their fists in a series of one to three-minute intervals called "rounds".
		The sport would later resurface in England during the early 18th century in the form of bare-knuckle boxing sometimes referred to as prizefighting.
		In 1891, the National Sporting Club (N.S.C.), a private club in London, began to promote professional glove fights at its own premises, and created nine of its own rules to augment the Queensberry Rules.

		Basketball was conceived in 1891 by Dr. James Naismith, a physical education instructor at the YMCA college in Springfield, Mass.
		Basketball, essentially, is not a contact sport; however if a player makes contact while attempting to claim a loose ball, for example, then it is okay.
		This is incidental contact and is often overlooked by referees.

	Women's Sports Foundation SPORTS & FITNESS
		In 1891, Canadian James Naismith, an instructor at YMCA Training School in Springfield, Mass., invented basketball.
		However, it was the Division of Girls and Women’s Sports (DGWS), an organization of physical educators, now known as National Association of Girls and Women’s Sports (NAGWS) who took the lead in establishing national women's collegiate basketball championships -- the Commission on Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (CIAW) basketball championships.
		To NCAA officials, the AIAW’s model was one of playing sports and having post-game teas, while the men were the ‘real athletes.’ They were dubious that a professional association of educators could manage a sports program, and they certainly did not think the women’s organizations were up to the task of administering women’s athletics.”

	Without clout, Mitchell unlikely to succeed in MLB steroid probe - baltimoresun.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		I predicted at the outset that Major League Baseball would regret embarking on the wide-ranging steroid investigation that was ordered by commissioner Bud Selig and undertaken by former Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell last month.
		The probe already has created new friction between MLB and the Major League Baseball Players Association, which has labeled the investigation a "substantial disruption" to the sport's labor relationship in an e-mail that was sent to agents and obtained by Newsday and the New York Post.
		This should come as no surprise to anyone who realized five weeks ago that Mitchell, for all his political clout and personal credibility, was entering the highly charged steroid controversy with one hand tied behind his back.
