  1930 FIFA World Cup - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The first FIFA World Cup was staged in 1930.
The tournament was played in Uruguay, as were celebrating the centenary of their independence and had successfully retained their football title at the 1928 Olympic Games.
Because the traditional third-place playoff match was not established until 1934, the 1930 World Cup is unique in not having any games take place between the semi-finals and the Final.

 The 1930 Negro League Champions
The two teams played out a series of ten games, and in the eyes of the public, the winner had the right to claim the title of "Negro Champions of the World." On top of the on-field activities, this series is of interest because it can be seen as a type of a watershed event.
Prior to 1930 most games of the genre were held at the team's home fields or at neutral sites.
The 1930 Homestead Grays took the series six games to four, and were titled Negro Champions of the World.

All responses were to reflect the individual's status as of 1 April 1930 (or 1 October 1929 for Alaska), even if the status had changed between the official start date and the day of enumeration.
Inhabitants of reservations were enumerated in the general population schedules but some minor differences in reporting were used: in place of country of birth for the father, the degree of Indian blood was listed and for the country of birth for the mother the tribe was listed.

 1930 World Cup
On 26 May 1928 in Amsterdam, the FIFA congress voted that a new tournament was to be organized in 1930 which was to be open to all member nations.
As holders of the Olympic title and the fact that 1930 marked its 100 years of independence it was appropriate to choose Uruguay to host the first tournament.
Although the news was greeted enthusiastically in all football-playing countries, many European nations harbored reservations about the prospect of crossing the Atlantic, a journey which promised to be long, tiring and costly.

 What Caused the Great Depression of the 1930's
In early 1930, there were 60 bank failures per month in the US but when the Fed tightened its purse strings, things got much worse.
The Fed had allowed the money supply to grow at the annual rate of 2.7% from 1921 through 1929, slightly slower than the economy grew over that period, thus the economically booming 1920's was a period of price stability and even modest deflation.
Between 1930 and 1933 the Fed refused to replenish the banking system sufficiently, even though the money supply was shrinking due to hoards of bankruptcies and bank failures.

Only since 1930 have our officers of law and order considered marihuana-smoking a serious problem, and satisfactory statistics as to its use here have been and are difficult to secure.
The spread of marihuana smoking in the Southern belt is described by an elderly doctor who states that whereas thirty-five years ago the frequency of narcotic addiction in his medical practice was in the order of morphine, cocaine, chloral, bromide, now it is the barbituric acid group first, marihuana second.
The role of the latter as a crime instigator is suggested by the report of the public prosecutor in New Orleans who in 1930 found that of 450 prisoners he dealt with, 125 were marihuana addicts.
