	The Paper: Sports History
		Sports pages — let alone entire sections of sports coverage — were decades in the future.
		What little sports news that appeared in the paper was of a recreational nature, such as an 1887 baseball game between a team of married men and a squad of bachelors.
		As early as 1899, sports stories were being grouped under label headlines such as “The Diamond and other sports” and “Sports of all sorts,” but the space allotted was always a column or less.

	S. Africa Eyes Racial Equality in Sports - www.ezboard.com
		Sports Minister Makhenkesi Stofile said Wednesday the government will intensify programs to boost the number of fl players in traditionally white sports.
		Progress has been made in breaking down racial barriers in most sports since the country's first all-race elections in 1994, but many poor fl and mixed-race athletes are denied the chance to compete at top levels because of insufficient funding and training opportunities.
		In an interview with The Star on Feb. 21, Tutu rejected racial preference policies in sport as "tokenism" and "an insult to all those involved." He said the best way to integrate traditionally white games like rugby and cricket was to invest in better facilities in disadvantaged communities.

		As with most subsequent professional sport leagues, the owners were in the "game" solely for the money, and treated and traded players as if they were cattle.
		Beneath sporting ladies on the social scale were "pretty waiters" and "hurdy-gurdy girls." These were working-class females who preferred dancing with strangers for a dollar a dance plus tips to picking cow chips or working in factories.
		The French sport differed from the Spanish sport in that the bull was not usually killed in the ring.

		Because of their size, there is a measure of portability and American citizens have carried them in pommel bags at Gettysburg, in gun belt holsters in cattle drives, and tucked in purses, holsters and pockets for over 200 years.
		Of course, the modern pistol will outshine its 19th century counterpart in the areas of tactical reloading and magazine capacity, but our comparison proves the revolver is nothing to scoff at if the man or woman behind it possesses a modicum of skill and determination.
		As we prepare to move forward into the 21st century you can see by the comparisons between the historic 1899 and modern 1999 batteries that all these firearms are viable systems for food gathering or defensive purposes.

	HickokSports.com - History - Croquet
		Although croquet is a rather young sport, its ancestry can be traced at least to the 14th century, and there are a couple of stories about how it originated.
		One is that lawn bowlers developed an indoor form of their sport to be played during the winter, adding hoops and mallets to make the game more challenging on the much smaller playing area.
		In order to promote the sport in general, the USCA promulgates rules for four different versions of croquet: Backyard nine-wicket, American six-wicket, international six-wicket, and golf croquet, which uses the nine-wicket layout.

		The reports left by the Harriman Alaska Expedition, in published volumes, suggest that in 1899 the natural resources of Alaska, newly discovered and bountiful as they might have been, were being ripped, wracked and ruined, in ways and at a speed that would make today's environmentalists shudder.
		Natural history, resource extraction, the lives of Alaska Natives and immigrants-these all were detailed by a cast of educated and creative men who, despite their 19th-century blind spots, were well-suited for the study.
		It was June 24, 1899, when the Elder cruised into Prince William Sound under sunny skies.

		Among the Ohio natives are some of the best to ever participate in their chosen sport, such as Jesse Owens and Jack Nicklaus.
		True, that has often led to disappointment in the city's biggest sports venues, but the breadth and depth of Cincinnati's sports scene has kept civic morale afloat even as the two major professional teams have struggled.
		But the bottom line is, Cincinnati's wide array of spectator sports, offering a taste of something for everyone, puts it over the top as the best sports city in Ohio.
