BEHAVIOUR AT SPORTS
NEW ZEALANDER RANKED HIGHLY VIEWS OF TENNIS PRESIDENT “The sporting instincts of New Zealanders are just as high as ever they were and as commendable as any in the world,” said Mr. N. R. Bain, president of the Wanganui Lawn Tennis Association, at the annual meeting last night, expressing his disagreement with views expressed on the behaviour of crowds at the recent Rugby Tests. “I have seen sporting contests in many countries, England, Australia, America,” Mr. Bain added, “and on the spur of the moment people have applauded a mistake by a player like Suzanne Leglen. It has been done purely on the spur of the moment, but that does not mean that the Englishman is not a sportsman.”
