ATHLETICS IN ENGLAND.
REASONS FOR DECLINE. NOVELIST BLAMES YOUTHS. LONDON. Feb. 1. 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," ho says, " a motorcar or motor-cycle to winning championships. Youths talk sports much more than they participate in them. They smoke too much and train too little. While able to say who is playing in any film, they mention our splendid cricketers contemptuously."
