Champions kept to their seats better in the year ox ijm.

The known quantities of the sports world remained in the lime-

light and the upsets were fewer than were recorded the year before.

Standing out in this respect was Jack Dempsey, champion heavyweight fighter of the world. He is still invincible in the

boxing world. The year of 1923 saw the return of Yale to the spotlight in

football and the successful comeback of Babe Ruth. It saw the Yankees and the Giants again winning the big league pennants but this time the Yanks beat the Giants in the series.

The prominent golf and tennis stars again were in prom- inence. The youthful Helen Wills ascended to the throne in women’s tennis.

In the fall a series of great match races brought out the

biggest crowds that ever witnessed the horses run. Zev stood out in a great year for stars of the turf.

The year was big in sports. The greatest crowds in history saw boxing, baseball, football and horse racing.
