At the beginning of the Twentieth Century, larger colleges and universities in the United States established football teams, based upon rules modified from English rugby. In 1901, professional baseball expanded from eight National League teams with the inception of the American League, and its eight teams, located in New England and the Mid-Atlantic states. Horseracing in the U. S., which declined in popularity as opposition to bookmaking grew, saw a revival when parimutuel gambling replaced it in 1908. The growth of the British Empire introduced cricket to its African and Asian colonies. The modern Olympic Games, consisting of wrestling and track / field events, were contested in the summers of 1900 (Paris), 1904 (St. Louis), 1906 (Athens), and 1908 (London). Tennis and golf began saw an increase in following through Western Europe and the U. S. Ice Hockey, on both the amateur and professional levels, expanded across Canada and into the northeastern U. S.
