Abstract

Sporting Blood
Phelps, William Lyon | August 24, 1918 issue

Most Russians obtain their exercise in conversation. The Anglo-Saxon releases the violence inherent in every man through the outlet of sport, his conversation is without gesticulation. But the Russians, and indeed many foreign races, find in daily conversation a form of exercise that takes in every part of the body, like swimming. Age has nothing to do with sport. The question when one should become a tennis-player emeritus, which was recently discussed by the accomplished sporting editor of the "Evening Post," depends entirely on the individual. Some men are too old at thirty, and others may play so long as they can stand upright.
