Mealy was reviewed and approved by the following: Charles P.

The thrills and fascinations of his athletic exploits were chronicled by the mass media beginning in 1917 through the 1920s in a way that addressed the central themes of the mythic Great American Novel. Killinger’s personal and public life matched the cultural medley that defined the nation in the first quarter of the twentieth-century. His life plays outs as if it were a Horatio Alger novel, as the anxieties over turn-of-the- century immigration and urbanization, the uncertainty of commercializing formerly amateur sports, social unrest that challenged the status quo, and the resiliency of the individual confronting challenges of World War I, sport, and social alienation.

John J, Hanrahan' Department of history Morehead statelUniversity Morel1ead, Ky. 40351 ,l . c The Democrats lost the 1929 presidential election, historians agree, as a result of the cumulative effect of the resentments directed against. President Woodrow Wilson by progressives, farmers, and wor.kers, the coali- 1 I tion that had kept him in the White House.in 1916. Wilson· paid this price ! I of political· damage to his presidency and his patty by giving priority to , I ' world affairs. at the expense of domestic problems. Americans .came 'to see the President as a remote figure, absent at .the Versailles peace conference the first six !"cinths of 1919, preoccupied upon his return with the.treaty ratification struggle, and shielded in the White House for months following his October stroke. The President's aloofness from his own advisers and his fierce partisanship gave Republicans the chance to portray his·admin- istration as inept one-man government. They cqnvinced voters that•Wilson was responsible for the social and economic upheaval growing out of the postwar readjustment process. The Republicans returned to power OJ). the back of the anti-Wilson feeling that they helped create. A caption of a contemporary New York World cartoon, "The GOP washed in by the waves of r 'National Discontent'," captured the heart of the Democratic defeat. A major cause in the. revulsion against:Wilsonianism that was ktrik~ ingly manifested' in· the 1920 election was the Pre'sident 1 s failure to deal with inflation effectively, a factor that'has not been given sufficient weight in existing works on the immediate past.

  • Privilege in Tennis and Lawn Tennis: the Geelong and Royal South Yarra Examples but Not Forgetting the Story of the Farmer’S Wrist
    PRIVILEGE IN TENNIS AND LAWN TENNIS: THE GEELONG AND ROYAL SOUTH YARRA EXAMPLES BUT NOT FORGETTING THE STORY OF THE FARMER’S WRIST GRAEME KINROSS SMITH DEAKIN UNIVERSITY I It is the season. That strange game called lawn tennis in- filtrated the Australian colonies in the mid 1870s when the wealthy, in emulation of English cousins,rigged nets in their city gardens or in the grounds of their country estates and invited long skirted ladies and men in cummerbunds, white shirts, and formal ties to tennis parties. The flight of the balls over nets five feet or more from the ground was demure and accompanied by giggles, gasps and gentlemanly shouts. By the 188Os, those whose enjoyment of these physical dashes required for its satisfaction something more codified in the way of a game were beginning to establish clubs for players of like mind. Their endeavours were guided by the All England Croquet Club at Wimbledon which had incorporated the words Lawn Tennis in-its title, in 1877,and which staged its first Gentlemen's Singles Championship under rules which modified those of the modern game's inventor,Major Wingfield,and allowed for a net still five feet high at the posts,a rectangular court rather than Wingfield's hour glass, and the modern system of scoring. That all occurred about a century ago. So it is the season- for celebrating the birth of the game, for taking stock, for writing the centenary histories of Australia's earliest tennis clubs. In 1878, the Melbourne Cricket Club added an asphalt court and a tennis club as an adjunct to cricket,and laid a grass court in 1880.

It was the Jazz Age, the decade of the flapper and of prohibition. The moral fiber of America was split along the lines of the rigid puritan work ethic and a hedo­ nism that honored individual achievement and upward social mobility. In these hectic years, no personality represented the idea of celebrity better than George Herman "Babe" Ruth. l Ruth's rise from the streets of Baltimore to the ballparks of New York was an Horatio Alger story, a blueprint for American success. He was, in the words of sport historian David Voigt, the most photographed man in America during the 1920's.2 His skill on the ballfield and his indulgences off the field were legendary. When he was not playing ball, he performed in vaudeville shows. Newspaper columns, "How to Play Baseball" guides and even a children's book were ghost-written in his name.

  • The History of Cricket in Oregon, 1870S–1920S
    The History of Cricket in Oregon, 1870s–1920s CRAIG OWEN JONES THE FAILURE OF AMERICAN CRICKET TO FLOURISH during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries is the Rorschach inkblot test for sports historians — each sees in the failure whatever they wish to see. Arriv- ing at a viable explanation, one that takes into account class distinctions, practical considerations, differences of national character, and exactly how much weight to assign to the influence on would-be cricketers of baseball in the second half of the nineteenth century, has been a long and arduous process, summarized by George Kirsch in his excellent recent overview.1 Scholars, however, have been able to agree on one thing: changes in clubs’ membership composition is crucial to understanding the subject. For much of the nineteenth century, cricket was a sport that straddled class divides; in Philadelphia, the spiritual home of American cricket, the game was the province of working-class players just as much as it was of their middle-class and upper-class counterparts.2 As the century wore on, however, in places where middle-and upper-class British immigrant society patronized the game, the promoters of cricket ultimately failed to convert enough sportsmen to play beyond their class ranks. When the stream of new arrivals from the United Kingdom dwindled, so too did cricket as an endeavor that was able to reach beyond the niche of English American society. Following changes in immigration patterns during the 1890s, the demographic balance shifted from the British Isles and Northern Europe to the Mediterranean and East- ern Europe, especially following the 1921 Immigration Restriction Act and subsequent legislation.3 The history of cricket in Oregon provides an interesting corollary to this model.
