DOESN'T PAY TO CHEAT IS ONE
BIG LESSON TAUGHT BY GOLF

IL many athletic contests. the big
1 idea is to get the better Of the
referee or the umpire. but happily this
attitude is fast disappearing. r. W.
Lesley attributes this, in a great
measure. to the Influence that golf
has brought TO bear on other sports.
He says:
The great object lesson that golf
has taught to followers Of other ath-
letic recreation is that it can be
played without the judicious eye Of
an umpire ever overlooking the wag-
ing Of contest in order to see that
one player does not take advantage
Of another. It calls always for con-
sldera ton Of ones opponent. and TO
take unfair advantage would be con-
sloered an objectionable sin"
While on his favorite subject Les
ley called attention TO q paragraph
that recently appeared in a golf
magazine, as follows:
The deliberate failure to record
stroke at golf or to surreptitiously
move the ball TO obtain a better lie
by player needs no comment here.
II cheating at golf places the offender
outside the pale. certainly the same
code OF ethics should obtain in any
other line Of sport. And this is the
lesson that golf has been teaching and
inculcating into other lines of sport
slowly but surely for the last 90
years. or since the time that it has
been taken up generally, and its
splendid qualities as sport and
exercise began TO be appreciated II
has brought out a new standard Of
morals and a new code of ethics
which show so clearly that II is
wrong not 10 play fair. It is changing
the attitude of the athlete.
