Sports.

A 81 understand it. sport is hard
"A work for which you do not
4 = get paid. If, for hire. you
should consent to go forth and spend
eight hours a day slamming a large
and heavy hammer at a mark, that
would be manual toll, and you would
belong to the union and carry a card
and have political speeches made TO
you by persons out for the labor vote.
But if you do this without pay and
keep it up Tor more than eight hours
At a stretch It then becomes sport OF
a very high order-and II you con
tinue il for a considerable period or
time, at more or less expense TO
yourself, you are eventually given
neat German-silver badge, costing
about 81, which you treasure de-
vOtedly ever after. A man who walks
twenty-five miles a day for a month
without getting anything for tex
cept two lines on the sporting page
is a devotee of pedestrianism, and
thereby acquires great merit among
his fellow athletes. A man who
walks twenty-five miles a day for a
month and gets paid for it is letter
carrier.
Also sport is largely a point Of
view. A skinny youth who fits forth
from a gymnasium attired in the
scenario Of a union suit with a de-
sign Of a winged Welsh rarebit on his
chest and runs many miles at TOP
speed through the crowded marts Of
trade is highly spoken Of and has
medals hung on him. If he fits forth
from a hospital somewhat similarly
attired and does the same thing the
case is diagnosed as temporary in
sanity-and we drape a strait-jacket
on him and send for his folks. Such
is the narrow margin that divides
Marathon and mania, and it helps to
prove that sport is mainly a state OF
mind.
