There Is. perhaps, some Justification

UNsPORTSMANLIKE.

If English criticism Of our olympic
athletes is confined TO the accusation
that they train harder than genie
men" should aud play 10 win as -
the games were professional duties II
Is foolish and negligible. When II Ill
rectly and specifically attacks the con
duct and code of honor Of the Anerl'
can sportsmen. it IL fitting that al
official reply be made, and Mt. Jaiiies
+. Sullivan, the commissioner ap-
pointed by President Taft, has hlaue
II. Mr., Sullivan denies, in complete
and convincing detail, the charges OF
team work" among Americans 10 smut
out competitors from the chance OF
winning races. of individual interfer-
ence with athletes of other countries
and of false starts intended TO dlscon-
cert competitors. His statements VIII
find general credence because the
American sporting spirit Is such that
partisanship never extends TO condon-
ing dirty play. The ethical training oi
the athlete is summed up In the ex-
preston equal opportunity and fair
play" And the 1912 Olympic team
certainly was representative Of the
best Of this cOuntry's sportsmen. Col
legc men. Young Mems Christian AS
ISOLATION members, representatives o.
reputable athletic clubs and assocla-
tons, they were Of the breed which
would regard dirty play az personally
dishonorable and disgrace to the
flag they represented.
Accusations OF such conduct might
be deemed q more serious matter for
the American team II this were the
first time such charges of unsportS-
, manlike conduct had been brought 10y
English losers against American win
ners But the Dunraven incident still
fingers In the public mind The flGsco
of the first Davis Cup tennis match
here and the English attitude toward
I Americans who were their supcriOrs
/ as players are not forgotten. II really
seems as If the English charges should
! have corrObOratlOn from the Germans
and the Swedes before being brought
into court IN this case, for dirty play
could not have been visible 10 the
English alone. If 1t existed. For many
years the EnclishmGn has enjoyed a
reputation of being gallant fighter
and good loser" Just rs he has had
the reputation Of being the original
and only exponent OF the daily tub
bath. Now medical experts have
robbed him Of the latter distinction.
For HIS own sake il Is TO be hoped
his sporting reputation needn't go too.
