game is over the subject is finished. And the
why he won or lost. or how he felt or played,
is forgotten.
A cynic once said that sportsmanship is
the "facile" hypocrisy of pretending not to
care. The adjective "facile" is distinct praise
- since it is precisely the quality one strives
for. And if it be hypocrisy to practise the
discipline exacted by true sportsmanship,
then that term must also stand for every other
act f civilized behavior. If self-contro is
Hypocrisy" then hypoUite is man who.
for the sake of decency. resists the temptation
to do any, or all. of the things that impulse,
if uncontrolled, might lead him to do.
Obviously the amount of self-control that
each player must exert depends upon his own
innate character and temperament. One very
rare person may be endowed at birth with
every admirable tendency, so that very mod
crate training produces perfection. Another
may have faults that only unceasing effort
can bring under control. Obviously. too, the
latter, who does succeed in achieving excel
lence, is the more truly admirable of the two.
One man, let us say, is naturally fair
minded, generous and amiable second man
is a super -egotist with bad temper, who
thinks every decision against him is unfair
The first can play games and go in for COM
petitive sports and make no effort to be other
than as he naturally is. The second must
struggle incessantly to put himself in stoical
straight Jacket to keep from losing his temper
or from protesting against the slight or the
unfair decision that he is always ready to
suspect.
1t is question whether person of this
temperament, unless conditioned as a very
young child could ever achieve the under
standing point of view of a true sportsman
Evening star., 1935-07-07

Probably he can never hope to do better than
to keep himself in hand because he has found
out that protests against the decisions of the
judges. or his explanations of the unfair ad
vantage taken by other players, will result in
his being stunned everywhere.
In many of its aspects sportsmanship is
dependent upon character; but there are Ger
tain definite rules that every one must know.
In a notebook of my own | have written:
Never to display i'll humor is the first rule of
sportsmanship. If you can't take sports with
grace and good temper, don't 60 in for them
Cursing out your fault or your luck, ex-
cusing. complaining, protesting against un-
fairness, won't get you anywhere except
in wrong You win; or you lose, that is all
there is to it! Whether from cowardice or
from temper. to throw down your clubs or
racquet is to throw down your chances of ever
holding them again without penalty.
The second rule is always to give your
opponent the benefit of the doubt Nothing is
more important to your standing as sports
man, though it costs you the particular point
in question.
For the benefit of those who seem to believe
that man is rated good sport because he
spends money freely, it should be stated
clearly that they have confused the term
sportsman" one who completes fairly in
any contest = with sporting man. = man
of far from admirable habits.
A players reputation as good sportsman
is the one thing that money can not buy.
Neither by giving away boxes of tennis and
golf balls nor by offering colossal silver cups,
nor even by million-dollar endowment can
the richest man that ever was increase by the
thickness of sheet of beaten gold-leaf his
rating in sportsmanship.
Evening star., 1935-07-07

This bribery" impulse of the untutOred is
met with at almost every club. except the
exclusive few which demand unquestioned
sportsnlanship as the qualification for men,
bership. Being more or less snubbed by those
he wants to impress. even his not too keen
perceptions are made gradually aware that a
somewhat icy atmosphere surrounds him.
Instead of trying to find out what he has done
- and is undoubtedly continuing to do - to
warm this chilling temperature, he attempts
to buy the approval of players or directors, or
critics with the impulse of "a savage who
believes that a string of beads can make him
liked
To those then who find any evidence, as it
seems to them, of persistent unfairness, the
behavior. Do they feel that their opponents
suffer from the same injustice or are they alone
the victims? When they lose are they even
in their own minds entirely amiable1 When
they win do they take it casually or are
they inclined - even to themselves - to
gloat? Or putting themselves in the place of
others, would they truthfully rate themselves
as admirable sportsmen or would they
not?
As a matter of fact, an admirable sportsman
is merely one who, having thoroughly learned
the rules of each game that he attempts to
play, can be counted on in every test of char
acter, as we'll as play. to behave as gentle
man. The achievement of serenity is an essen
tial of every thoroughbred. To be easily

satisfaction in ones own skill. But under the
ordinary exactions of games or matches, the
really perfect sportsman meets every situation
with easy grace.
In fact, it is only when players long
tested impulses can be trusted to take care of
themselves that he attains to such innate
serenity he can seemingly break all funda-
mental rules. He shows chagrin, he shows
elation; apparently he has never heard of the
rules of sportsmanship in his life. But in truth
his knowledge Of every rule of conduct is so
ingrained that obedience to each has become
effortless.
Those who notice accurately will find this
player dependably perfect in every ethical test
of situation or impulse. In the big matches the
perfect sportsman is always chosen by the
onlookers as their favorite because he is
human" Every now and then his expression
liphtens with a quick smile, distinctly happy
grin, or on the other hand a grimace on
occasion of marked bad luck or bungled play
- but both are Of moment s duration and of
no more than surface depth.
In other words, true craftsmanship, spring
ing first of all from an innate sense of fairness
and an exact appreciation of relative values,
does not need mask of pretended indif-
ference, because the player has no undue sense
of personal superiority or inferiority which he
must try to hide.
There is no reason whatever why player
may not be human enough to smile unless the
smile becomes a smirk that verges on the
smugness Of conceit, and is therefore an
affront to his opponent. When he wins, the
true sportsman takes his satisfaction lightly.
or perhaps the better term is transiently. If he
loses, he takes it good-naturedly - and still
more transiently. Furthermore, when the

1884 FREIGHT
HAuLS

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-Pl-Ihe
nations railroads reported Satur-
day that they hauled more freight
In 1884 than in either 1888 or 1882.
A hint that additional gains this
year would be necessary to prevent
increased freight and passenger
rates was given simultaneously by
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion in its annual report to con-
gress. Opposition to a Sl70,000,000
rate increase recently proposed by
the railroads was expressed by the
American Newspaper Publishers AS
ISOLATION. In a brief filed with the
commission, the publishers warned
that high rates would result In more

Total loadings OF revue freight in
1884 were reported BY the ASsocia-
ton OF American Railroads at 80
TBS, 494 cars. an increase OF ga per
cent over the precious year and a
gain Of 90 per cent over the pre-
viouS year.
The association sad. however,
that most Of the gains were rec
orded in the first half Of the year
and that December was the only

provement over 1888.
