1930 24 Hours of Le Mans, Race, Start
At 9pm the Brisson/Rigal Stutz caught fire suddenly on the Mulsanne Straight. The improvised repairs to the exhaust pipe had come loose and flames set the car alight. Rigal managed to pull the car over and get out, narrowly missed by Barnato's Bentley. Hindmarsh, also running close behind him, stopped his Talbot and ran to help him with his own fire extinguisher. Parked far from any marshal posts, it took an hour for the fire to be put out, as official cars ferried fire extinguishers to the incident.


1930 24 Hours of Le Mans, Race, Start
The flames dazzled drivers and smoke from the destroyed car could be seen from the middle of Le Mans city. Not long after, the other Stutz had retired. The rear axle had, in fact, been knocked in de Rothschild's excursion and broke, leaving him not far from the other smouldering Stutz.


1930 24 Hours of Le Mans, Race, Night
By nightfall, after five tyre failures, the Birkin/Chassagne car was running seventh. In the sister car, Ramponi pitted with a high fever and feeling quite unwell. Benjafield took over facing having to drive the rest of the race. Mercedes team manager Neubauer authorised his driver to start re-using the supercharger to close back in and going into the night, the spectators watched a thrilling duel as the two cars swapped the lead. Just before midnight the two pitted together and the Bentley just got out first.


1930 24 Hours of Le Mans, Race, Night
This came to an end at 1.30am though when the Mercedes slowed with its headlights flickering. Werner pitted but could not restart from its pitstop. A wire had come loose on its dynamo and the battery had gone flat. This left the Bentleys running 1-2-3-5, the works Speed Sixes ahead of the Blowers with Barnato/Kidston holding a six-lap lead over Clement/Watney. The Talbots were now running fourth and sixth, splitting the hard-charging Birkin/Chassagne Bentley making up for its lost time. Shortly before 3am, Rose-Richards bought his Talbot into the pits when the front-wing began to come apart, affecting his headlamps. The team jury-rigged a fix with wire and cords. This allowed the Alfa Romeo, running better in the cool night, to pass back into sixth.


1930 24 Hours of Le Mans, Race, Morning
The second half of the race devolved into a routine procession. Early morning mist and a heavy rain shower also contributed to a dour race. After 8 o’clock Birkin and Chassagne finally caught the Lewis/Eaton Talbot and moved up to fourth. But then just before midday their Bentley broke a conrod and had to retire. Then within an hour, the other Blower Bentley also lost its engine, after Benjafield had driven solidly for fourteen hours without relief. This promoted the Talbots now into third and fourth, until the running repairs on the Hindmarsh/Rose-Richards car came adrift again. This time they pulled off the superfluous headlamp and secured the fender with leather straps going around the radiator cap and front chassis. The three pitstops required again allowed Howe's Alfa to get past a second time.


1930 24 Hours of Le Mans, Race, Morning
In the early afternoon, a short, heavy downpour swept across the circuit. The main excitement was the close race for the Index prize between Bentley and Talbot. Both teams told their leading cars to push on harder. With two hours to go, Eaton pitted his Talbot to clear a fuel blockage: a paper label off a fuel-churn had fallen in and got stuck on the filter. It cost a lap and let the Bentley get ahead. The handicapping favoured the smaller car and Eaton's hard driving soon retook the lead only to lose it again when they pitted to free a stuck throttle. When a late stop delayed Howe in the Alfa Romeo, the Talbots once again were in third and fourth.


1930 24 Hours of Le Mans, Race, Finish and post-race
Once again Bentley staged a formation finish. Woolf Barnato, getting back-to-back victories in the same Speed-Six chassis as he driven to win in 1929, promptly announced his retirement with the enviable Le Mans record of three entries for three outright wins. In the end the Alfa Romeo was only eighteen kilometres (1 lap) behind the Talbots. British drivers filled the first six places with the privateer Lea-Francis coming home in sixth. Despite the early delay, Peacock and Newsome still covered four more laps than their previous year's effort.


1930 24 Hours of Le Mans, Race, Finish and post-race
In a tight finish, Talbot won the Index prize by the narrowest of margins: only 0.004 from the winning Bentley, amounting to barely a lap between them. Three French cars were the remaining finishers, highlighted by the women in the Bugatti after a trouble-free run to seventh, and Jean-Albert Grégoire leading home both his Tracta cars. Grégoire was lucky to finish, as he had just put his car in a ditch on his last lap. Unofficial help from spectators pulled him out in time.


1930 24 Hours of Le Mans, Race, Finish and post-race
It was a curious fact that the Bentleys had a number of tyre delaminations of their Dunlops. Whereas the Talbots, and Mercedes (albeit abbreviated), had run on their starting set of Dunlops through their whole race.


1930 24 Hours of Le Mans, Race, Finish and post-race
Bentley had now achieved five wins in the first eight Le Mans. But like many other manufacturers, the company was hit hard with plummeting demand in the Great Depression and soon after Bentley disbanded its works racing team. In 1931 Barnato let two loan repayments lapse. The receivers were called in and in November the company was bought out by Rolls Royce. Nor did Glen Kidston get back to Le Mans. A keen pilot, he was attempting an endurance record from England to Cape Town when he was killed on the return route when his plane broke up pin stormy weather.


1930 24 Hours of Le Mans, Race, Finish and post-race
In October, Dorothy Paget withdrew her financial support for the Blower Bentley project after ongoing unreliability and only limited success. Philippe de Rothschild, knowing his identity was now revealed, retired from racing to build his family company into one of the great French wine labels.

1930 AAA Championship Car season
The 1930 AAA Championship Car season consisted of eight races, beginning in Langhorne, Pennsylvania on May 3 and concluding in Syracuse, New York on September 6. The AAA National Champion and Indianapolis 500 winner was Billy Arnold.


1930 Adelaide Carnival
The 1930 Adelaide Carnival was the seventh edition of the Australian National Football Carnival, an Australian rules football interstate competition. It was held from 30 July to 9 August and was the second carnival to be hosted by the South Australia city of Adelaide.


1930 Adelaide Carnival
All six states contested the carnival, which was staged as a full round-robin amongst the states. All fifteen matches were played at Adelaide Oval. For the third consecutive time, the carnival was won by Victoria, which was undefeated. South Australia, whose sole loss came against Victoria in the final match of the carnival, came second.


1930 Adelaide Carnival
Western Australia was third and New South Wales was fourth, after the former narrowly defeated the latter in the latter's final game – New South Wales' strong performances were considered the surprise of the tournament, and were put down to the inclusion for the first time in many years of Broken Hill-based players in the team. Queensland finished last, and was winless for the fourth time in four carnival appearances.


1930 Adelaide Carnival
As often occurred at interstate carnivals, overuse of the ground and untimely rain resulted in the surface degenerating to a mudheap by the end of the carnival. Crowds were less than hoped, with the carnival making a loss of £200–300, which the ANFC put down to rain and the onset of the great depression. The carnival's leading goalkicker was Victoria's Bill Mohr, who kicked 35 goals, including 16 in one match against Queensland.

1930 Air Union Farman Goliath crash
The 1930 Air Union Farman Goliath crash occurred on 10 February 1930 when a Farman F.63 Goliath of Air Union crashed whilst attempting an emergency landing at Marden Airfield, Kent following the failure of the starboard tailplane. Two of the six people on board were killed.


1930 Air Union Farman Goliath crash, Aircraft
The aircraft involved was Farman F.63 Goliath F-FHMY, c/n 267. The aircraft was built as a F.60 Goliath and registered in April 1921 to Compagnie des Grands Express Aériens, passing in February 1924 to Compagnie Air Union. On 14 November 1925, it had ditched 7 1⁄2 miles (12.1 km) off Boulogne and had been badly damaged. The aircraft was given a complete overhaul, returning to service in 1929. The rebuilt aircraft was classified as a F.63 Goliath.


1930 Air Union Farman Goliath crash, Accident
The aircraft departed Le Bourget at 10:40 am bound for Croydon. It was carrying three French crew and three English passengers. Fifteen minutes after take-off, an engine problem resulted in a return to Le Bourget. No problem was found but the spark plugs were changed as a precaution and the aircraft departed for Croydon again.


1930 Air Union Farman Goliath crash, Accident
After the aircraft had passed Staplehurst, a snapping noise came from the tailplane and the aircraft lost 2,000 feet (610 m) in altitude. The starboard tailplane had failed. One of the mechanics told the passengers that an emergency landing was to be attempted. The passengers were asked to move to the rear of the cabin. Just before 1 pm, as the aircraft attempted to land at Marden Airfield, the pilot cut power to the engines at an altitude of 10 feet (3 m).


1930 Air Union Farman Goliath crash, Accident
The aircraft then rose to an altitude of about 100 feet (30 m) and then stalled and crashed. A few seconds later, fire broke out in the wreckage of the airliner. One of the passengers managed to escape on his own. The pilot was pulled from the wreckage by one of the two mechanics. Villagers rushed to the aid of the victims, but the survivors had all escaped from the wreckage by the time the first of them arrived. Two of the passengers, who were returning from honeymoon in Paris, were killed. The injured were taken to the West Kent Hospital, Maidstone.


1930 Air Union Farman Goliath crash, Accident
An inquest was opened by the Cranbrook Coroner on 12 February at Pagehurst Farm, Staplehurst into the deaths of the victims. Witnesses gave evidence of the failure of the starboard elevator. The inquest was adjourned initially to 13 March in the expectation that the crew of the aircraft would be fit enough to attend. The inquest resumed on 28 March at Staplehurst. Evidence was produced to show that the aircraft was airworthy when it departed Paris, and that the actions of the crew were correct. The 1921-built aircraft had been completely overhauled and had returned to service in 1929, following the ditching in 1925. The cause of death in each case was shock and smoke inhalation. A verdict of "Accidental Death" was returned in both cases.


1930 Akron Zippers football team
The 1930 Akron Zippers football team was an American football team that represented the University of Akron in the Ohio Athletic Conference (OAC) during the 1930 college football season. In its fourth season under head coach Red Blair, the team compiled a 7–1 record (5–1 in conference), shut out five of eight opponents, and outscored all opponents by a total of 130 to 38. Halfback Kenneth "Red" Cochrane was the team captain.


1930 Alabama Crimson Tide baseball team
The 1930 Alabama Crimson Tide baseball team represented the Alabama Crimson Tide of the University of Alabama in the 1930 NCAA baseball season, winning the Southern Conference championship.


1930 Alabama Crimson Tide football team
The 1930 Alabama Crimson Tide football team (variously "Alabama", "UA" or "Bama") represented the University of Alabama in the 1930 college football season. It was the Crimson Tide's 37th overall and 9th season as a member of the Southern Conference (SoCon). The team was led by head coach Wallace Wade, in his eighth year, and played their home games at Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa, at Legion Field in Birmingham, and at the Cramton Bowl in Montgomery, Alabama. They finished the season with a perfect record (10–0 overall, 8–0 in the SoCon), as Southern Conference champions and as national champions after they defeated Washington State in the Rose Bowl.


1930 Alabama Crimson Tide football team
In April 1930, coach Wade announced his resignation effective at the end of the 1930 season, and his last Alabama team might have been his best. For psychological effect, Wade routinely started games with his second team, and the backups never allowed a point. The first team defense only allowed the opposition to score 13 points over the course of the season en route to a 9–0 record. Only the Vanderbilt game was close, as the Commodores scored a late touchdown that cut Alabama's lead to five in their 12–7 loss. Vanderbilt's touchdown and a touchdown scored by Tennessee accounted for all of the scoring by Alabama's opponents in 1930.


1930 Alabama Crimson Tide football team
Alabama received its third Rose Bowl invitation in six seasons, this time against the also undefeated Cougars of Washington State. In the game, Wade started his second team. Once again, the second team did not allow any points and neither did the first team in their 24–0 victory. The win clinched the second perfect season in school history after 1925, and the Crimson Tide claimed the 1930 national championship along with the Notre Dame Fighting Irish.


1930 Alabama Crimson Tide football team
Johnny Cain starred at fullback, and in the days of iron man football also handled linebacker, and punting duties. He was later inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame. Other players from the 1930 Alabama team included Fred Sington, who went on to play baseball for the Washington Senators and Frank Howard, who later became famous as the long-time head coach at Clemson. Jennings B. Whitworth, who kicked a field goal in the Rose Bowl, was hired as Alabama's football coach a quarter-century later.


1930 Alabama Crimson Tide football team, Before the season, Wade resignation
After eight seasons as Alabama's head coach, on April 1, 1930, Wallace Wade announced he would resign his position at the conclusion of the 1930 season to take the same position with Duke. At the time of his announcement, Wade did not give a reason for his departure other than that his contract was set to expire on September 1, 1931. Although never publicly stated by Wade himself, friends and former players attributed his resignation to criticism he received during the 1927, 1928, and 1929 seasons, as well as his desire to return to a private university.


1930 Alabama Crimson Tide football team, Before the season, Wade resignation
Wallace Wade completed his Alabama tenure with a 61–13–3 record (.812), four conference titles, and three national championships. He also coached several star players as well. Wade followed up his success at Alabama with a longer and almost as successful run at Duke, and was later inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame.

1930 Alabama Crimson Tide football team, Postseason, National championship
The NCAA recognizes consensus national champions as the teams that have captured a championship by way of one of the major polls since the 1950 college football season. Prior to 1950, national championships were chosen by a variety of selectors, and in the 1980s, Alabama claimed the 1930 championship as one of its 16 claimed/recognized national championships. As such, Alabama claims a share of the 1930 national championship, with Notre Dame, due to each school being selected national champion by various major selectors. Specifically, Alabama was selected national champion by Football Research, Parke Davis, and Sagarin and Sagarin (ELO-Chess).

1930 Alabama gubernatorial election
The 1930 Alabama gubernatorial election took place on November 4, 1930, in order to elect the Governor of Alabama. Democratic incumbent Bibb Graves was term-limited, and could not  seek a second consecutive term.


1930 Alabama gubernatorial election, Democratic primary
At the time this election took place, Alabama, as with most other southern states, was solidly Democratic, and the Republican Party had such diminished influence that the Democratic primary was the de facto contest for state offices; after winning the Democratic primary it was a given you would win the general election.


1930 Albanian National Championship
The 1930 Albanian Championship was the first edition of the Albanian National Championship, which ran from 6 April until 6 July 1930. It was the first-ever official football competition in Albania run by the newly formed Albanian Football Association, as the 1911 Fier Fair Football Tournament was not run by the AFA and is not yet recognised.


1930 Albanian National Championship
The six original members were Urani, Teuta, Skënderbeu, Bashkimi Shkodran, Sportklub Tirana and Sportklub Vlora who agreed to play a ten-game format whereby each team would host each of their five rivals once with two points awarded for a win and one point awarded for a drawn game.


1930 Albanian National Championship
The two teams with the most points at the end of the regular season of the competition would then enter a championship playoff where they would play each other twice and the champions would be crowned based on the aggregate score of the home and away ties, however this playoff was not actually played due to forfeit.


1930 Albanian National Championship
Sportklub Tirana were declared the inaugural champions of Albania following two technical victories over Skënderbeu in the championship playoffs, taking their seasonal total to seven wins, four draws and one loss.


1930 Albanian National Championship, Overview
The competition was the first official national football competition to be held in Albania and it featured six sides from across Albania, which were Urani, Teuta, Skënderbeu, Bashkimi Shkodran, Sportklub Tirana and Sportklub Vlora. Each team played each other twice during two phases, and the top two ranked teams entered the championship playoff which would have been a two-game playoff decided on the aggregate score for the championship title. Each win during the regular season was worth two points, with a  draw worth one point and a loss worth none. The first phase was held between 6 April and 4 May, and the second phase was held between 11 May and 22 June. The playoff finals were planned on 22 June and 6 July, but they did not take place due to Skënderbeu's forfeit of both games.


1930 Albanian National Championship, Overview
The playoff finals were not played following Skënderbeu's forfeit, which was a sign of protest against the bias of the competition and the Albanian Football Association towards the Sportklub Tirana. Both games were awarded 2-0 to Sportklub Tirana thus crowning them the first champions of Albania.

1930 American Soccer League, Overview
In 1928, a dispute broke out between the American Soccer League and the United States Football Association regarding participation in the National Challenge Cup. The League decided to boycott the cup, but three teams, Bethlehem Steel, the Newark Skeeters and the New York Giants all entered the competition. When the league suspended the three teams, the USFA offered to bankroll the creation of a new league, the Eastern Professional Soccer League. This new league included the three ex-American Soccer League teams, four teams from the Southern New York Football Association and one newly created team, New York Hakoah.


1930 American Soccer League, Overview
By the fall of 1929, the onset of the Great Depression and the competition between the ASL and EPSL had created significant financial problems for both leagues and the USFA. Consequently, the USFA and the two leagued came to an agreement to end the dispute on October 9, 1929. The two leagues entered into discussions to merge. By the first week of November 1929, the merger was complete with the new league taking the name of the Atlantic Coast Soccer League. The new league decided to run a two-part 1930 season.


1930 American Soccer League, Overview
Oddly enough, they decided to play the first games of the 1930 season during the weekend of November 6, 1929. The first half of the season ended the last weekend of April 1930. During the summer of 1930, the league resumed the name American Soccer League, beginning the second half of the season in September and ending the first weekend of January 1931. Although the league attempted to continue operations as it had before the dispute with the USFA, it began to fail during the 1930 season. The dispute between the ASL and USFA financially weakened the league and its teams. The onset of the Great Depression in 1929 further exacerbated these problems. This resulted in significant changes in the lineup of teams in the league.


1930 American Soccer League, Overview, Team turmoil
Boston became the first team to fail, leaving the league and disbanding after only four games. The second team to fail was one which had just entered the ASL, Bridgeport Hungaria. Based in Bridgeport, Pennsylvania, the team moved to Newark, New Jersey after ten games, played another five in Newark, then withdrew from the league and disbanded. During the mid-season break, Bethlehem Steel F.C. withdrew and disbanded. Then, the New York Giants renamed themselves the New York Soccer Club. The New York Nationals immediately took the name Giants.


1930 American Soccer League, Overview, Champions
The Fall River Marksmen finished top of the table in both the first and second half. The league saw no need for a playoff and declared the Marksmen champions. The Marksmen also won the league (Lewis) cup and the 1929–30 National Challenge Cup, giving it a treble. Having achieved this distinction, the Marksmen promptly withdrew from the league and merged with the New York Soccer Club to form the New York Yankees for the 1931 season.


1930 American Soccer League, League Cup
The winners of the League Cup final were awarded the H.E. Lewis Cup. Hakoah All-Stars and New York Nationals were forced to play a replay on May 22, 1930 to determine a winner after the first two matches ended in draws, and neither side scored in 30 minutes of extra time at the end of the second match.

1930 Argentine coup d'état
The 1930 Argentine coup d'état, also known as the September Revolution by its supporters, involved the overthrow of the Argentine government of Hipólito Yrigoyen by forces loyal to General José Félix Uriburu. The coup took place on 6 September 1930 when Uriburu led a small detachment of troops into the capital, experiencing no substantial opposition and taking control of the Casa Rosada. Large crowds formed in Buenos Aires in support of the coup. Uriburu's forces took control of the capital and arrested Radical Civic Union supporters. There were no casualties in the coup.


1930 Argentine coup d'état
Uriburu's coup was supported by the Nacionalistas. Uriburu himself was part of the Nacionalista Argentine Patriotic League and had the support of a number of Nacionalista military officers. Nacionalista plans for such a coup had been developing since 1927, when politician Juan Carulla approached Uriburu for support of a coup to entrench an Argentine version of Fascist Italy's Charter of Labour. With the onset of the Great Depression in 1929 that impacted Argentina, Yrigoyen lost political support as he retrenched government services which resulted in acceleration of unemployment.


1930 Argentine coup d'état
In the aftermath of the coup, major changes to Argentinean politics and government took place, with Uriburu banning political parties, suspending elections, and suspending the 1853 Constitution. Uriburu proposed that Argentina be reorganized along corporatist and fascist lines.


1930 Argentine coup d'état
Future Argentinean President Juan Perón took part in the coup on the side of Uriburu.


1930 Argentine legislative election
The Argentine legislative elections of 1930 were held on 2 March. Voters chose their legislators, with a turnout of 75%.


1930 Argentine legislative election, Background
The Wall Street Crash of 1929, as in much of the rest of the world, abruptly clouded Argentina's political, as well as economic, landscape. Hipólito Yrigoyen, who was overwhelmingly returned to the Presidency in 1928, advanced a progressive agenda during his first year in office, establishing a Ministry of Health, securing trade pacts with the British Empire that promoted import substitution industrialization, and increasing investments in education, the sciences, and the state oil concern, YPF.


1930 Argentine legislative election, Background
This latter policy made his administration a target of Standard Oil, which had growing interests in the country's energy sector. Yrigoyen's second term inherited considerable domestic opposition, as well, from his 1916—22 administration, when policy differences with the conservative wing of the UCR provoked his removal of 18 governors by decree. This opposition had never achieved unity, however, and were no match for Yrigoyen's popularity.


1930 Argentine legislative election, Background
The collapse that followed the 1929 crash proved to be real challenge for Yrigoyen. Scorned by much of the media for his age and alleged senility, the president reacted quickly to the crisis. He loosened credit, moved to delay farm evictions, and intervened against massive capital flight by rescinding the gold standard in Argentina, thereby stymying the movement of gold overseas (around 200 million dollars' worth had been removed from local banks after the crash via this mechanism). These measures helped maintain the populist leader's base of support, as did possibly the December 24, 1929, attempt on his life, and only added to its opposition by the financial sector.


1930 Argentine legislative election, Background
The results of the legislative elections, held on March 2, 1930, reflected some erosion in Yrigoyen's base, as the UCR lost 19% off its 1928 landslide vote totals. Turnout remained high, however, and the UCR added six seats to their already commanding majority in the Lower House. Winning in 10 of 14 districts renewing seats, the UCR lost in the City of Buenos Aires, where a schism in the Socialist Party resulted in victory for the more conservative group, the Independent Socialists. Right-wing opposition also won in Córdoba Province, where Julio Roca's Democratic Party made gains.


1930 Argentine legislative election, Background
Having lost at the ballot box, Yrigoyen's opponents in both domestic politics and foreign corporate boardrooms redoubled their efforts, marshaling news editorials, provincial legislatures and, ultimately, elements in the Argentine military against the aging leader. An August 9 resolution in the Lower House, signed by 44 conservatives, called for Yrigoyen's resignation, and following numerous clashes and acts of sabotage, Generals José Félix Uriburu and Agustín Justo took power in a September 6 coup d'état.

1930 Arizona gubernatorial election
The 1930 Arizona gubernatorial election took place on November 4, 1930. George W. P. Hunt narrowly won the general election in 1930, defeating incumbent governor John Calhoun Phillips, who had defeated Hunt in his bid for reelection in the previous election year in 1928.

1930 Arkansas gubernatorial election
Incumbent Democratic Governor Harvey Parnell had won office in 1928, and was seeking reelection in 1930. During this period, it was customary for faithful governors to be reelected to a second term in Arkansas. In the Solid South, winning the Democratic primary was tantamount to election, a trend that resulted in Democratic control of the Arkansas Governor's Mansion from 1874 to 1967. Parnell won a seven-candidate primary, and was nominated by the party. The Republicans nominated James Livesay, a lawyer from Foreman in Little River County.


1930 Arkansas gubernatorial election
Parnell defeated Livesay in a landslide election, but would see his popularity decline sharply in the next two years, as the Dust Bowl and Great Depression damaged the Arkansas economy. Parnell's popular progressive programs from his first term would come under fire in his second term, with many claiming his highway modernization program and school reforms were bankrupting the state.


1930 Arkansas gubernatorial election, Republicans
Republicans did not hold primaries in Arkansas until the 1960s, instead nominating their candidates at the state convention. James Livesay, a lawyer and judge from Foreman, was nominated as the Republican gubernatorial candidate.

1930 Atlantic hurricane season
The 1930 Atlantic hurricane season was the second least active Atlantic hurricane season on record in terms of tropical storms formed – behind only 1914 – with only three systems reaching tropical storm intensity. Of those three, two reached hurricane status, both of which also became major hurricanes, Category 3 or higher storms on the Saffir–Simpson hurricane wind scale. The first system developed in the central Atlantic Ocean on August 21. Later that month, a second storm, the Dominican Republic hurricane, formed on August 29. It peaked as a Category 4 hurricane with winds of 155 mph (250 km/h). The third and final storm dissipated on October 21.


1930 Atlantic hurricane season
Due to the lack of systems that developed, only one tropical cyclone, the second hurricane, managed to make landfall during the season. It severely impacted areas of the Greater Antilles, particularly the Dominican Republic, before making subsequent landfalls on Cuba and the U.S. states of Florida and North Carolina, with less severe effects. The estimated 2,000 to 8,000 deaths caused by the storm in the Dominican Republic alone ranked it as one of the deadliest Atlantic hurricanes in recorded history. No other storms affected any landmasses during the year, although the first storm damaged an ocean liner in open waters.


1930 Atlantic hurricane season
The season's activity was reflected with an accumulated cyclone energy (ACE) rating of 50, below the 1921–1930 average of 76.6. ACE is a metric used to express the energy used by a tropical cyclone during its lifetime. Therefore, a storm with a longer duration will have high values of ACE. It is only calculated at six-hour increments in which specific tropical and subtropical systems are either at or above sustained wind speeds of 39 mph (63 km/h), which is the threshold for tropical storm intensity. Thus, tropical depressions are not included here.


1930 Atlantic hurricane season, Systems, Hurricane One
The first hurricane of the season was first noted in the central Atlantic Ocean on August 21. Slowly intensifying, the system initially moved towards the west. On August 22, a steamship in the vicinity sustained some structural damage. After attaining hurricane strength on August 24, the system turned northwestward, and reached Category 3 intensity on August 25 with maximum sustained winds of 125 mph (205 km/h) as it grazed Bermuda. Recurving to the northeast, the French transatlantic ocean liner SS Paris encountered the hurricane while it was a Category 2 hurricane.


1930 Atlantic hurricane season, Systems, Hurricane One
A large wave struck the ship, shattering glass on the vessel and injuring 40 passengers. Although still a Category 2 hurricane, the system became extratropical shortly after on August 28. The extratropical storm was tracked due east towards the Azores for a few days while gradually weakening before abruptly turning to the north and dissipating.


1930 Atlantic hurricane season, Systems, Hurricane Two
A tropical depression developed well east of the Lesser Antilles on August 29. Initially drifting westward, the storm gradually intensified and became a tropical storm early the next day. By August 31, the system strengthened into a Category 1 hurricane. The next day, the hurricane entered the Caribbean Sea, passing the island of Dominica as a Category 2 hurricane. Continuing to intensify, the storm further intensified into a Category 3 hurricane on September 2 and then to a Category 4 the following day. Around 18:00 UTC on September 3, the hurricane peaked with winds of 155 mph (250 km/h), observed by a ship. Simultaneously, the storm made landfall near Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.


1930 Atlantic hurricane season, Systems, Hurricane Two
The mountainous terrain of Hispaniola rapidly weakened the system to a tropical storm early on September 4. Moving westward over the Caribbean Sea, the storm failed to re-strengthen before making landfall in western Cuba with winds of 40 mph (65 km/h) around midday on September 6. Thereafter, the system entered the Gulf of Mexico and curved northeastward. At 09:00 UTC on September 9, the storm again made landfall near Bradenton, Florida, with winds of 45 mph (75 km/h). Later that day, the storm weakened to a tropical depression while crossing Florida.


1930 Atlantic hurricane season, Systems, Hurricane Two
Upon emerging into the Atlantic Ocean on the next day, the system re-intensified into a tropical storm. While located offshore South Carolina, the storm re-attained hurricane status early on September 12. The hurricane then brushed the Outer Banks of North Carolina before heading out to sea. The storm further strengthened to Category 2 intensity while heading eastward, but later weakened to a tropical storm early on September 16. The following day, the storm deteriorated further to a tropical depression, and late on September 17, the cyclone dissipated southwest of the Azores.


1930 Atlantic hurricane season, Systems, Hurricane Two
While crossing the Lesser Antilles, the hurricane brought powerful winds and heavy rainfall to the islands. On Dominica, crops suffered severe damage. All vessels at the harbor sank, killing two people. Winds on Puerto Rico left mostly minor damage to plantations, and rainfall was generally "beneficial". In the Dominican Republic, three districts of Santo Domingo were destroyed, with half of the city leveled by the hurricane. Damages in the city were an estimated $50 million (1930 USD). The Red Cross estimated 2,000 people perished in the city, with an additional 8,000 injured.

However, the actual death toll may never be known, and historians estimate the hurricane left between 2,000 and 8,000 fatalities. Haiti experienced crop damage due to the storm. In Florida, "damaging" rainfall was observed over southeastern Hillsborough County, with 8 to 9 in (200 to 230 mm) measured. Press reports indicated damage to highways and bridges, and crops were inundated. Damage reached approximately $75,000. After passing the Outer Banks of North Carolina as re-intensifying hurricane, power outages occurred across the region. Buildings at Cape Lookout were severely damaged.


1930 Atlantic hurricane season, Systems, Tropical Storm Three
The final storm of the season developed in the Bay of Campeche on October 18 at the tail end of a frontal boundary. Although cool-air advection was occurring off the United States coast, warm air around the system allowed the tropical storm to intensify. Moving to the northeast, the system reached peak intensity as a high-end tropical storm with winds of 70 mph (110 km/h). Ultimately, the cool-air advection eventually took a toll on the storm, causing it to quickly weaken. By 06:00 UTC on October 21, the storm dissipated.

1930 Auckland Rugby League season
The 1930 season of Auckland Rugby League was its 22nd. It was generally regarded that the season was very disappointing in terms of the quality of the football played and much of the blame was put down to the fact that too many teams were in the Senior A Grade and there was too much talent spread through the Senior B teams which in turn diluted the top division. There had been a noticeable drop in the attendances at matches at Carlaw Park which had seen 8 to 10 thousand regularly attending club matches. A review of the season was published in The New Zealand Herald on 22 October discussing the issue.


1930 Auckland Rugby League season
The Senior A championship was won by Ponsonby United for the second consecutive year which was their fifth title overall. They were awarded the Monteith Shield. This was the last year that the Monteith Shield was played for as the man this trophy was named after suggested that the main championship trophy should be one named in honour of Mr. Edwin Vincent Fox who had died earlier that year. Ponsonby also won the Roope Rooster trophy for the sixth time after defeating Richmond Rovers by 15 points to 7 in the final.


1930 Auckland Rugby League season
Ponsonby were however beaten by Devonport United in the final of the Stormont Shield 17–5. This was the first time Devonport had won the Stormont Shield. A week later on 11 October Ponsonby played the champions of the South Auckland competition who were Ngaruawahia in the first match of its kind. Ponsonby won 32 to 29.


1930 Auckland Rugby League season
The Senior B championship was won by Otahuhu who beat the 1929 champions Point Chevalier in the final by 3 points to 0. The Stallard Cup knockout competition for Senior B teams was won by Richmond who defeated Point Chevalier 21–11 in the final. Richmond were the first club to enter a B team (effectively a reserve grade team) in this grade, and for the Stallard Cup they were joined by a B team from Devonport.

In a major scandal following the Stormont Shield match between Ponsonby United and Devonport, Frank Delgrosso, the Auckland and New Zealand representative who was captain of the Ponsonby team was suspended for three seasons. Delgrosso was charged with misconduct along with another Ponsonby player V. Goodwin. They were also barred from attending Carlaw Park in the future. He failed to make a teammate who had been ordered off to leave the field, threw mud at the referee, and abused him.

As the season progressed much talk was made about the standard of the Senior A Grade and its inability to field enough sides of quality. The decision was eventually made to reduce the number of A Grade sides to 6 and to do away with the Senior B competition altogether for the following season. Instead the league would encourage good quality players to move from those sides to clubs with A Grade teams. A special committee was formed to suggest a way forward.


1930 Auckland Rugby League season, Key events and news
They decided to recommend that the six teams to make up the A Grade for the 1931 season should be Ponsonby, Marist, Devonport, Metropolitan (to include City and Newton), Western Suburbs or Richmond, and Eastern Suburbs (to include Ellerslie). There was much discussion of the matter by members of various clubs over which clubs should merge or who disagreed that their club should disappear. The matter was further discussed in a Management Committee meeting on 15 October but a decision was deferred for a week.


1930 Auckland Rugby League season, Key events and news
On 29 October it was decided by the Auckland Rugby League to officially reduce the number of teams in the Senior A Grade to 6. The clubs would be known as Ponsonby United, Devonport, Marist Old Boys, Western Suburbs (Richmond Rovers and Kingsland), Metropolitan (City and Newton), and Eastern Suburbs (Ellerslie and the surrounding district). This was not to be the only time that Auckland Rugby League went down the path of making teams, who were often unwilling, into mergers. It happened again decades latter before reverting to the norm, and then again in the 1990s before once again reverting to the norm with standalone clubs. Clubs who were particularly against the proposal were City Rovers, Newton Rangers, Kingsland Athletic, and Richmond.

Craddock Dufty, who had returned from the recent New Zealand tour to Australia refused to play in the fixture against the Auckland players citing an injured elbow. He did not produce a doctors certificate and as a result Auckland Rugby League suspended him and he was unable to play for Ellerslie in their first round match. Jim O'Brien was sent off after a "verbal altercation" with referee Vic Simpson. This was to be his last official competition match of his career, though he did play in the McManus benefit match weeks later at Otahuhu.

City and Devonport were tied for second place in the Senior A competition and as Ponsonby won both the Senior A championship and the Roope Rooster it left City and Devonport to play off for the right to join them in the Stormont Shield match. Devonport defeated City by 1 point to earn the right to play Ponsonby. In the final Ponsonby had J. Moore ordered off but he refused to leave. The referee then left the field until Moore was persuaded to leave and the game could progress. Moore was later suspended by the league.

It eventually turned out that the Auckland and New Zealand representative Frank Delgrosso who was captain at the time had failed to persuade Moore to leave the field and had also verbally abused the referee and thrown mud at him. Delgrosso was suspended by the league for three years but on appeal and with an apology and expression of regret at a March 1931 meeting his suspension was reduced.

1930 Bago earthquake
The 1930 Bago earthquake (Burmese: ၁၉၃၀ ပဲခူးတိုင်းငလျင်), also known as the Swa earthquake and Pegu earthquake struck Burma on May 5 with a surface wave magnitude between 7.2 and 7.5 Ms . This earthquake was one of the most destructive to hit the country, and one of many earthquakes to affect the country between 1929 and 1931. Extensive damage was reported in the southern part of the country. More than 550 people were reportedly killed, although the death toll may be as high as 5,000 to 7,000. A moderate tsunami was generated along the Burmese coast as a result of the earthquake, however it only caused minor damage.


1930 Bago earthquake, Earthquake
This earthquake ruptured along the Bago segment of the Sagaing fault for a length of 131 kilometres (81 mi), extending from the southern coast of Burma (Gulf of Martaban) to roughly 20 kilometres (12 mi) north of the city of Bago. Its epicenter is located north of Bago, near the Pegu range. The mainshock was followed-up with the 1930 Pyu earthquake seven months later. Maximum offset was measured at 3 metres (9.8 ft).


1930 Bago earthquake, Earthquake, Impact
Shaking was violent enough to destroy much of Pegu. An eyewitness observed surface waves propagating through a tennis court as the earthquake occurred. People on the ground were thrown upwards due to the rapid ground acceleration. Fires erupted, causing further destruction in the city. There were also reports of severe liquefaction taking place shortly after, in the form of fissures erupting sand and water. Lound rumbling noises were heard by people in the city. The Shwemawdaw Pagoda, a religious monument in the city, was seriously weakened, and half of the structure collapsed, killing some at the base. The death toll is estimated at 500 in Pegu. Survivors described feeling two distinct jolts, separated by a short pause. The second shock was reportedly the most violent. The duration of the earthquake only lasted some 30 seconds.


1930 Bago earthquake, Earthquake, Impact
In Tawa, seven people were killed, two buildings totally collapsed, pagodas and roads destroyed and subsidence occurred.


1930 Bago earthquake, Earthquake, Impact
At Khayan, there was a partial collapse of a hospital, various buildings, and a mosque. Fissures and vents spewed enough water and to bury parts of the town and cause floods. Between 12 and 16 deaths were from here.


1930 Bago earthquake, Earthquake, Impact
In Thongwa, which sits atop the Sagaing Fault, suffered major destruction during the quake. A railway station platform fissured and abutments of the railway bridge sank, and were shifted from their original positions. Like in many other affected other towns, most masonry buildings collapsed or were badly damaged.


1930 Bago earthquake, Earthquake, Impact
In Rangoon, the shock toppled the Shwedagon Pagoda, an important religious landmark in the city. Like Pegu, the earthquake threw people off the ground. More than 50 buildings had to be replaced. The confirmed death toll was reported at 50 or 58, while press agencies reported 200. Another 204 were injured by collapsed masonry. The most severe damage was situated in the southern part of the city which sits on a river delta where alluvium is deposited by the Irrawaddy River. The British Geological Survey building along Dalhousie Road cracked in many areas. The interior of the building which housed a laboratory and museum was wrecked. Along China Street, pucca houses caved inwards and numerous buildings withstood shaking but were uninhabitable.


1930 Bago earthquake, Earthquake, Impact
The shock was powerful enough to be felt in Shan state and the Kingdom of Siam. It was felt over an estimated area size greater than 220,000 square miles (570,000 km2).


1930 Bago earthquake, Earthquake, Intensity
In the meizoseismal area, shaking intensity peaked at IX to X on the Rossi-Florel scale within a pear-shaped area of 375 square miles (970 km2) along the fault. Within this area, buildings were either partially or totally destroyed. Bago was located at the northern end of this isoseismal area. Large fissures and thrusted alluvium was observed during surveys of the land.


1930 Bago earthquake, Earthquake, Intensity
Intensity VIII covered the townships Kyauktan, Thongwa, Kayan, and Kawa. Many housed suffered significant damage while a few collapsed partially. Many household items reportedly fell towards the north or south, and large almirahs in a hospital and police station were thrown to the floor. Massive cracks appeared in the ground and some sections of land fell into a nearby river.


1930 Bago earthquake, Earthquake, Intensity
The regions of Toungoo and Rangoon were within the intensity VII to VI zone. Poorly constructed buildings collapsed in this area. Brick chimneys and walls were thrown down due to the force of the earthquake. A number of buildings were so badly compromised that they were not safe for anyone to enter.


1930 Bago earthquake, Tsunami
A local tsunami with a run-up height of 1.06 metres (3 ft 6 in) was recorded along the coast. The tsunami travelled up the Sittaung River and flooded several villages along the way. Some ships docked at the Rangoon Harbour were uplifted up to 4 feet while others began to rock back and forth. The waves also caused ships to slam into the wharf resulting in damage to the port.


1930 Bago earthquake, Tectonic setting
The Sagaing Fault is a mostly continental transform fault that runs through the country and connects the Andaman spreading center to the collision zone in the north. It accommodates motion between the Burma and Sunda Plates as they slide past each other at a rate of 18 to 49 mm/yr. the fault runs the entire length of the country for over 1,200 km and continues its trace into the Andaman Sea. The Sagaing Fault is Burma's largest and most active source of seismic threat, running through or close to major cities like Yangon, Nay Pyi Daw and Mandalay. Several large and damaging earthquakes have occurred on this fault in historical times.


1930 Bago earthquake, Related events
The Bago earthquake was one of several destructive earthquakes to occur in Burma from 1929 to 1932.


1930 Bago earthquake, Related events, Aftershocks
Countless aftershocks were reported months after the earthquake. An aftershock on September 16, at 5:30 pm, resulted in the cracking of a brick wall on a police station in Pado.


1930 Bago earthquake, Related events, December 4 earthquake
Seven months after the earthquake at Bago, another earthquake of magnitude 7.3 struck about 48.2 km north, along the Sagaing Fault killing a further 36 people. Slippage along the fault twisted a crossing railroad. Major damage in Pyu, similar to the severity of the May shock was seen.


1930 Bago earthquake, Future threat
Seismologist have identified a ~50 kilometres (31 mi) long seismic gap that on the Sagaing Fault did not rupture in both the May and December 1930 earthquakes. This gap is located between the rupture zones of both events and is capable of producing an earthquake up to a magnitude of 7.0. North of the December 1930 rupture and Nay Pyi Daw, a ~260 km-long segment of the Sagaing Fault was also identified as a seismic gap capable of producing a magnitude 7.9 event.


1930 Bago earthquake, Future threat
The last known earthquake in that area was the 1912 Maymyo earthquake with a magnitude of 7.7 to 7.9 however, that involved a rupture along the nearby Kyaukkyan Fault. To the south, the offshore segment with a length of 180 km has also never been involved in any major earthquake in recent historical records thus it is expected that a magnitude 7.7 quake could occur there.
