THE Sunday World Public School Field Days were inaugurated in 1906. In the Spring of that year 100 grammar schools in New York City held individual sets of field day games. This great series of athletic meets, in which nearly 20,000 boys competed, was planned by the Sunday World, which also gave the prizes. The games were under the direction of the New York Public Schools Athletic League. The programme of each meet consisted of individual and relay races, jumping and weight throwing. In the Spring of 1907 100 schools again had these field days. The boys then competed in classes according to their weight as follows: 80-pound class, 95-pound class, 115-pound class, unlimited (heavy) weight class. In 1908, the third year of the Sunday World Field Days, the number of schools holding these athletic meets was increased to 114. Twenty-five thousand boys competed in the games for the Sunday World prizes that year. The great and growing popularity of these athletic games in the New York schools was best evidenced in 1909, when 147 schools had Sunday World Field Days. At these 147 meets 33,480 boys competed in the games, and more than 1,200 teachers served as Field Day officials. More than a quarter of a million school children were spectators of the athletic contests. Three thousand, two hundred and forty boys won Sunday World medals in these games. Some of the separate school meets of 1909 were of unprecedented size, almost the entire grammar grade enrolment of the school being entered for the games. School No. 83, Manhattan, had 1.252 actual competitors in its Sunday World Field Day meet; School No. 62, Manhattan. 1,083; School No. 109. Manhattan, 721; School No. 43. Brooklyn, 642; School No. 145, Brooklyn, 565; School No. 75, Manhattan, 532. These figures indicate the astonishing growth and interest that these games have attained in the schools. In the Fall of each year that the New York schools have held the Sunday World Field Days there has been a grand final meet of the entire series of the year's games, in which representatives of all the schools that had these field days during the year have been entitled to participate. In 1909 this great meet was held on October 9 at the American League Baseball Park, One Hundred and Sixty-sixth Street and Broadway. Fifteen hundred boys participated in the games; 20,000 spectators occupied the bleachers and grandstand. Sunday World gold, silver and bronze medals were given as first, second and third prizes in all the sixteen events on the programme, which included four relay races.
