sport. Every sport has its following. 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

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

'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
