ATHLETICS IN ENGLAND.
REASONS FOR DECLINE. NOVELIST BLAMES YOUTH. (Sun Special.) LONDON, Feb. 5. Mr Max Pemberton, the well-known novelist, in an article in the Evening News on the decline of English, sports, criticises the country’s youths. “They prefer,” he says, “a motor car or motor cycle to winning championships.

While able to say who is playing in any film, they mention our splendid cricketers contemptuously.”
