The 1904 Olympic Games in St. Louis were both unusual and
controversial. One of the major problems for Olympic scholars has
been to determine which of the events at these Games were truly of
Olympic caliber. The Games were included as part of the World's
Fair, and every athletic contest that took place under the Fair's
auspices was deemed "Olympic." These activities included croquet
and water polo, high school and college championships in football
and basketball, as well as the "Anthropology Days" events in which
members of "primitive" "tribes" competed against one another.
The author demonstrates, after great deliberation, that 16
events of the 21 overall were truly Olympic sports and gives
descriptions, scores, and analyses for each (as well as for the
five non-Olympic events). Appendices include literature relating to
these games, lists of noncompeting foreign entrants, and a guide to
all competitors.
