Sports - nd One TIng or, Another Byý FRANK M ANN H ARRIS ("A Sixbit Critîc") fIt lias long bcen customary for us sports ýfans to assume the superior attitude 'of beîng wiser, touglier- minded, and infinitly'harder to f ool thai. the non-sporting publie. Perso n- al ly, we arc bcginning te suspect,, instead, that we are just about, the biggest ýsuckers and softest touches on earth-the kind that wïll hold stili for almost anything money-hungry promoters care to disîs eut. TFhe Toronto Argonauts-te singte out just onle f rom, many-recenstly played twe gaines in Winnipeg, te large anid profitable assemblages, with a! buicli of athictes, nuaîsy of whox h-adni't been e,ýen frm ïyii- trodutced teone anmo1her. They theni jore'dteot0tawa for i-a iregular 1leaguew gamejk; and it requîred no ex- pert eye te discern, that they were still a couple of weekls short of even passably decent playing f orin. hi other words they-and al the rest of them-were Iearning their rudiments and getting their preliimiinary, train- ing in public, and at -public expense. -Nowif Sir Ernest MacMillan, for example, were to announce that lie xvas starting a new symphony orch- estra, and then invite music-lovers to attend hiii early rehearsals at reg- lar concert prices, WC doubt that he'd get very far. Or if an automobile manufacturer, 'readying an entirely new model, were to ask folks to pur- chase sanie, during the period Mien it was undergoing road-tests, and before its bugs had been ironed out, We imagine he'd run the risk of being laughed to of business. Yet We harfd-boiled sports addicts, year after yer,i faîl for exactly that sort of thýing, and witlî hardly a murmur at It lias long been one of our favorite dreanis to attend some such contest, M-it th de atîsîecs* apipcaring peuuids overweight, short of wind, and with nio desîre beyoiid going through the mrotions as pailcssly as' possible- and then have, the referee declare it NO CONTEST and tell the folks te dentand thecir ntoney back.
