Show "Settlement Based on Fair Play and a Sporting Chance for Under Dog" By CAPT. PERCY REDFERN CREED, British Sportsman. There can be no peace on earth or good will, or the settled conditions on which trade and commerce, the lifeblood of humanity, depend until a settlement is reached based on fair play for all and a sporting chance for the under dog. It is up to the sportsmen of the world to get together and to infuse into the public opinion of the w-orld and of their own countries the spirit and freemasonry of sportsmanship, for in this spirit lies the only hope of man. No real sportsman was ever a bad Christian. And it is up to America to lead the way. She holds the Yachting cup, the Polo cup, the International Horse Eacing cup, and most of the championships in games and athletics. She is the largest country. She is the biggest nation. A gesture from the sportsmen of Ajnarioa would b.ave far-reaching and immediate reaction. |
