From the recent tragedy IN New
York. wherein Paul Leicester Ford, the
author, was shot to death by his
brother, Malcolm w. Ford, the athlete
who afterward killed himself, the Ball
timore Sun deduces a lesson suggesting
THAT excess in athletic exercises may
and does affect the mental faculties abb
normally. Because of tendency to ex-
cess in other morally unhealthy direc-
tions. which undue devotion to ath-
letic sports develops, the Suns deduc-
ton must be given weight. The aver
age young man who chooses 'sports,
as theyare termed, as a profession, must
be endowed with unusually strong
mental balance, and that of the prop
er sort, to be able to prevent moral de-
generation as physical perfection ad-
vances. The environment he usually
seeks. the sharp prize contesting with
gambling features attached, are apt to
dull the moral sense. There's much
difference between healthy, and health
giving athletic exercise, and the devo-
tion of all energy to excel in any par
ticular line of sport Dover Della
