IN
LAST WAR
London, Aug. 28.
The war cloud overshadows all sport, Although the elreumstances can have tile parallel, it is not without Interest to recall what hap- pened to sport in 1914-1918.
The Football League programme for the 1914-1915 season waN carried through and the F.A. Cup Competition was played, the final being at Manchester between Sheffield United, the winners, and Chel- sta, The following season the Football League suspended all fixtures and the F.A. Cup Competition was abandoned for the period of the war. In their place wete three separate competitions-the 'London, Midland and Northern Combinations and the teams in these matches were mainly cumposed of Bervices players. They received only out of pocket expenses.
Racing was suspended from August 6 to August 26, 1914, and was resumed at Gatwick on August 28 and continued to the end of the season. A number of war time meetings were held at selected centres so that transport of horses and the publle was reduced to minimus. Substitute races for the Derby. Oaks and St. Leger were run at Newmarket, where extra meetings were held.
