About the best I could find was this, which lists NYSE info for 1900-2003. You have to put the numbers in a graph, but the data is here. Best of luck.\n\nhttp://www.nysedata.com/nysedata/Default.aspx?tabid=115\n\nGo to Historical and then look under   Annual reported volume, turnover rate, reported trades (mils. of shares) (1900-2003)

Try the Bureau of Labor Statistics at www.bls.gov.  Not sure if this is along the lines of what you need, but they have alot of information.

There were no African-Americans in the Major Leagues in 1920, so some could argue that the league was watered down with out the inclusion of some of those fine athletes.  Also, there were far less teams in Major League Baseball in 1920 than there are today, this could, in fact, be an arguement that it was more difficult to become a Major Leaguer in 1920 than today.  It is also important to bring up the salaries that the players receive for playing Major League Baseball.  For better or for worse, salaries in today's game are vastly larger than they ever were in 1920.  In 1920, many players had to have other jobs during the off season in order to make a living.  The off season training of today's athletes is also leaps and bounds ahead of where it was in 1920.  In 1920, the players simply played the game and didn't lift weight or watch what they ate.  Look at Babe Ruth for an example of this, he routinely crammed down hot dogs in between doubleheaders and was a notorious drinker.  Babe Ruth also probably never touched a weight in his life.  Could you imagine how he would have been if he had been on the sort of off season training regimine that today's athletes are on???  But that's another topic altogether.  Another thing to look at would be the pitchers statistics.  In 1920, pitchers were EXPECTED to finsh games that they started.  In today's games starting pitchers are credited with a "quality start" if they complete 6 innings.  The role of the bullpen and closers has also grown greatly since 1920 as a result of this.  An example of this would be how Bruce Sutter is the first solely relief pitcher to be elected into the Baseball Hall of Fame.  I hope that you got a few ideas from this, good luck with your paper. I would think you could whip it out no problem on this topic!
