Each following credits its favorite pastime with superior powers of exer cise mid recreation. That is natural among patriotic peo ple. Hut which sport is the perfect or nearest perfect can never be determined and is of little consequence. What we are concerned with is healthful exercise and recreation. Uvery game possesses these qualities in varying degrees. As long as everybody is getting exercise and' recreation in Home form or other there is nothing to be desired. Around The Edges Diverse Views of Sports Many people, the joke-smiths imd the cartoonists take Kivnt delight in poking Am at the golfers. Those at the! puking end consider it a meaningless pastime. The motor ist considers walking a useless waste of effort, and the j hiker, luxuriating in his brisk walk, cannot appreciate the' Joy of motoring. Opinion is divided between baseball and : i'ootball as the greatest American spurt. Tennis players seldom play golf, and vice versa. Those who favor mini-1 mer sports frequently are not attracted by winter game.-i j of pool, bowling, cards and basketball. Thus it would seem that views on sports are as diverg ent as the sports themselves. First there are group's which 'consider sports of all shapes and descriptions of little or no value either for health or pastime. Opposing it are two more groups which in turn 'oppose each other., One ofj ""YT 1.... ..i. i. i- : i i lit, Iijiumu liuier j-ueoiiiNUriius spoils 101 exercise aim neiuiu.i fThe other considers sports only in the light of recreation, j s Beyond the shadow of a doubt there are few men, wo-j men, or children in town who do not participate' in some Jn addition to Ht-nch'H pitching ye.sterdny In (tut Lu, Grande-Dayton btiHi-biill jfume, Theison iinl DuvIh wielded IrriiR'iiiluim mDUch,, Tlu'lmin Hot three hIiikI"h und a two buKwi't) In five l i in is a I I j : t und DuvIh noled mil u circuit clout, oni' three-buHe Ml und iwn two-baKKTM In ri vif ititn'H ui.
