WHO'S WHO
IN
AMERICAN SPORTS
FOREWORD
Sport today has become one of the main
institutions of America. In one form or
another its influence has gone into almost
every American home. Naturally those
who have helped to fill up this institution
and those who through competition have
helped make a good story of sport worth
writing, have become interesting subjects
to many millions. It is the purpose of
"Who's IVho In American Sports" to
furnish all the important information
concerning the leaders in every line,
so that there will be a full record
of their achievements.

WHO'S WHO IN AMERICAN SPORTS
Preface
Who's Who In American Sports presents the biographical sketches
and records of four thousand men and women notable in the
annals of athletics in the United States. The aim and purpose
of this volume is as worthy as it is stupendous. The work of gathering
and editing this data has required many months of painstaking labor
and has been retarded by the natural and innate modesty of those whose
sketches and records are herein presented.
Sports editors, college and high school coaches, athletic directors,
alumni secretaries, in fact a veritable army of well-wishers and helpers,
as well as the entire staff of the National Biographical Society set to
work in the early summer of 1927 to compile a list of eligibles for this
publication. At that time there were no available records suitable for
presentation. More than 32,000 names were collected, arranged and
classified. Questionnaires were sent to all of these, and over 12,000
responded with partial or complete data.
After careful consideration 4,000 sketches were approved for inclu-
sion in this volume. The publishers realize that many sketches worthy
of this distinction have been omitted. This is by no means an oversight,
as it has been exceedingly difficult to trace and contact a large number
who are not only eligible, but who are among the outstanding athletes
of the nation. In a few instances we have given pictorial recognition
without the accompanying sketches. As rapidly as these men and women
°.an be reached, their names and records will be filed for future editions.
It is apparent that such a volume as Who's Who In American
Sports required the co-operation of those high officials, coaches and
tvriters whose knowledge of American athletics has made them specialists
in their respective fields. The willingness with which many of these
authorities responded to our request for assistance was most encouraging
to the publishers, and the National Biographical Society takes this oppor-
tunity to extend its thanks to the following leaders of American athletics
\vho have aided materially in the production of this Souvenir edition of
Who's Who In American Sports :
Maj. Gen. Douglas MacArthur, president American Olympic Committee.
Hon. Murray Hulbert, president A. A. U. of United States.
Gustavus T. Kirby, chairman Advisory Committee, I. C. A. A. A. A.
Dr. John J. Tigert, United States Commissioner of Education.
Dr. James Naismith, honorary chairman, National Joint Basketball
Committee.
Samuel H. Collom, president, U. S. L. T. A.
Clark C. Griffith, president, Washington Baseball Club.
Charles L. Ornstein, member Executive Committee, American Olympic
Committee.
Porter Adams, president, National Aeronautic Association.
Henry Penn Burke, president, National Association of Amateur Oarsmen.
C. Edward Beckett, member Y. M. C. A. Section of Joint Basketball
Committee.
A. Y. Leech, Jr., Executive Committeeman, U. S. L. T. A.
Louis Little, director athletics, Georgetown University.
Lieut. Col. Nelson E. Margetts, chairman, Army Polo Committee.
Charles W. Paddock, journalist, lecturer and World's Sprint champion.
W. A. Rogers, vice-president, American Power Boat Association.

WHO'S WHO IN AMERICAN SPORTS
And the following sports writers : Warren Brown, Chicago ; Harry
Costello, Detroit, Mich.; Nick Flately, Boston, Mass.; James M. Gould,
St. Louis, Mo. ; Kirk Miller, Washington, D. C. ; Lawrence Perry, New
York City, N. Y. ; Grantland Rice, New York City, N. Y.; Harry B.
Smith, San Francisco, Cal., and Joseph Williams, New Yrork City, N. Yr.
The National Biographical Society realizes that this edition has
fallen short of a complete coverage of the entire field of sports. Criti-
cisms and ideas from the fraternity are cordially invited, and will be
tiled for future reference and incorporated in later editions. Certain
deficiencies are apparent in this volume. A work as vast and detailed
as this has involved months of correspondence, research and expense.
Ommissions will be rectified as speedily as possible.
The names, records and sketches of thousands of American men and
women are now on file. This list is being increased daily. Efforts are
being continued to compile all information available along these lines.
This data will be furnished upon request and without cost to any and
all sports writers who are subscribers. The fraternity as a whole is also
cordially invited to take advantage of this service.

Standards for "Who's Who in American Sports"
THE stamp of approval upon the eligibility requirements by the

those whose meritorious achievements in the world of athletics
warrented selection. The monumental task confronting the editor and

first effort would fall short of complete coverage.

WHO'S WHO IN AMERICAN SPORTS
The Editorial Board of the National Biographical Society will gladly
welcome the names or list of names of any and all athletes deemed worthy
of inclusion in a later volume. From the vast lists of colleges, schools,
athletic clubs, athletic associations, manuals and membership records
there are no doubt many hundreds of persons whose achievements in
sports warrant inclusion in a later volume or whose names and sketches
should be in the files.
Questionnaires will be gladly sent upon application. Lists of names
and addresses of leading athletes are desired. In helping to make future
volumes more comprehensive, the co-operation of the fraternity is ear-
nestly solicited. All institutions and individuals are asked to provide
assistance in this worthy endeavor.

Special Notice
THE compilation of names for Who's Who In American Sports has
been a most interesting and absorbing task as well as a difficult
one. While twelve months have been spent in the effort, it is real-
ized that four or five times that length of time might have been devoted
before a hundred per cent completion could be obtained.
While various institutions have co-operated materially, the editor
feels that the future will be productive of greater and better results.
In verifying, revising and editing these four thousand sketches and
in checking the additional eight thousand names not included in this
volume, a most amazing fund of information has been classified for future
reference.
The editor will acknowledge thankfully the receipt of advice per-
taining to errors, ommissions or misstatements.
It is felt that as we are becoming a nation of athletes and our chil-
dren are following in our footsteps, we are becoming one great fraternity.
To this end it will be greatly appreciated if further co-operation is
extended by those who are interested in this vast subject.
The Editor.

a single club. Most games pitched in one
league, 784 ; most games won in one league,
411 ; most years leading in strikeouts, 12 ; most
shutout games, 114 ; most consecutive shutout
innings, 56 ; tied with Joe Wood for American
League record of 16 straight victories ; most
years leading league in games won, 6 (tied
with Grover Alexander, in National League).
Established a world's pitching record by pre-
venting his opponents from scoring one hundred
and thirteen times. He also added an extra
game for good measure by shutting out
the Pirates in a world's series contest, making
his lifetime record, 114. Has led his league
twelve times, eight years in succession, as
strike-out king.

LEWIS, ED "STRANGLE!?," world's cham-
pion wrestler. Born: Nekoosa, Wisconsin, Au-
gust 10, 1893. Education: University of Ken-
tucky.
Record: Lewis first won world's champion-
ship from Joe Stecher in New York, December
13, 1921. Defeated by Zbyszko. Regained title
by defeating Zbyszko after three attempts. First
time that a champion wrestler ever regained his
title. Under management of Billy Sandow for
15 years. Holder of the $10,000 diamond cham-
pionship wrestling belt. Dr. B. F. Roller, the
famous physician-wrestler, made a statement a
short time ago that he considered Lewis the
most wonderful athlete of the day. He makes
the flat statement that the Lewis headlock is
the greatest hold ever developed in the wrest-
ling game, and that no other wrestler can use it
in the same way because they know nothing
about it. There exists a tendency to treat
wrestling merely as a sport demanding little else
than bulk, coupled with brute strength. A
greater mistake was never made. Wrestling is
really an art which is capable of being brought
to a very fine point, and in no sport is the mind
forced to act quicker.
