DECADENT YOUTHS.
CONTEMPT FOR CRICKETERS. MAX PEMBERTON'S DISGUST. LONDON, January 28. Max Pemherton, the novelist, in an article in the "Evening News" on the decline of English sports, criticises the country's youth. '"They prefer a motor j car or a -motor cycle to winning championships."' he declares. "Youths talk sport much more than they participate in it. They smoke too much and train too little. While they are able to say who is playing in any film, they mention our splendid cricketers contemptuously."
