Sporting Spirit Strong in Our Cuban Cousins
In Havana on June 10, a Cuban observer notes sports grown popular after the American occupation. Bull fighting waned while cockfighting, baseball, and other amusements rise, with baseball drawing big crowds and bets. Umpiring earns respect, and locals travel to markets with roosters as part of daily life. Football and golf struggle, horse racing gains shallow traction, and wheels on bikes remain rare amid urban and country contrasts.
