who won very considerable fame as a gentle man who knew what words really meant defined sport as a noun meaning that which diverts and makes mirth pastime amusement If Mr was around today he might alter the defi nition He might remove the word mirth For there Is tittle more real fun in the major realms of sport It has become a very serious business with few laughs there is my mirth then it is striclly coincidental and unintentional In fact the athletes of today arent even characters as we knew such in oilier days when there was less money more laughs Theyre cold calculating and skilful
