What sports were played in 1900?

Answer 1

The sport of Greyhound Racing was introduced to Great Britain by the U.S. in 1925 or 1926 (one source has listed 1925, another 1926). As the sport gained several followers many new tracks were built, and in 1928, the National Greyhound Racing Club was established. In both 1929 and 1930, a notable "athlete," Mick the Miller, was crowned champion of the Greyhound Derby. The first track in Manchester featured a mechanical hare for the dogs to chase around the track. This practice is still carried out today, but metal "bait" may be used instead of mechanical hares. Greyhound racing still remains popular in many countries such as the U.S., Great Britain, Australia, Mexico, Ireland, and Spain. It is not, however, a sport of the 1900's. Records indicate that Egyptians began racing dogs in 2500 B.C. Many greyhounds were also used to hunt hares and other animals. The breed usually features coats of black, gray, and/or white and weigh 65-70 pounds. They have been clocked in at speeds of up to 40 mph and well-performing racers can bring in $200,000.
Baseball teams started in the 1920's. This era was also the one that started Basketball teams and football teams. Baseball teams traveled across the country recruiting people to play from cities they visited.
