[CASL-L] Biography/Memoir categories

[Barlow, Chris]

 How about Sports?
I've taken a number of sports biographies and put them into the sports
section.
They're getting more looks and checkouts since I've done this.
While I don't plan on genrefying my collection, this one area is a small
step that I have done to bring more attention to some books which otherwise
might be overlooked.
