lOThe Barrie Examiner Friday April 30 l76 Sports changed by definition By ED HARPER Chayl With all the talk about violence in sport thought it would be interesting to find out just what the word sport stands for So getting my American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language down from the shelf looked up the word rt The definitions given were An active past time version recreation specific diversion usual hr involving physical exercise an having set form of rules game person known for the manner ofhis ac ce tance of the rules of game or of difficult situation ot finding the words that would connect with the sports Ihave been watching looked up the word sportsman The dictionary said man who is enthusiastic about and participates in sports One who abides by the rules of contest and accepts victory or defeat graciously still could not find the words that go with the sports that have watched for over 50 ears So looked for the word sportsmanship the qua ities and conduct befitting sportsman will say that most of the sportsmen whom have known through the years had good qualities but most times during game or race their conduct was not befitting asportsman The conduct of people connected with sports such as owners of teams managers coaches trainers etc and the participants themselves has been unSportsmanlike since the beginning of most sports One has only to look at the sports clippings and records of the past to see that there has always been unsportsmanlike tactics In horse racing there has been fixing of races since racin began remember when the old Thorncliffe Race Trac was operating in the early 30s and four or five jockeys were ruled off one or two for life The charges were for ix ing race It was happening then and it is still happening now All the dirty things that we see and hear at our hockey games were happening when the ame first started The on ly thing then player couldnt reak his stick by hitting another player with it The sticks were made too well and would last for two or three years until they were worn out So even the manufacturers of hockey sticks are not very sportsmanlike by making sticks that wont last much more than one game When was bicycle racing as young man many were the ills had when competitor would deliberately knock me own in order to beat me and must say that in order to survive in the sport had to do the same guess must have learned to be an expert at it for rode professionally with all the best riders in the world Back in the 1920s and 30s wrestling was popular sport in Toronto The old Mutual Street Arena was packed every Wednesday night with unruly fans At that time everyone thought that the game was on the up and up until one night when wrestler by the name of Ernie Dusek was being car ried off unconscious on stretcher fan put lit cigar against Ernies leg Dusek jumped from the stretcher and chased the fan caught him and beat him up before the police could move in There was court case over this inci dent and out of this court case came the ruling that all pro fessional wrestling matches must be billed as exhibitions The same goes for the Roller Derby that is wh you never see the police step in to stop fight in roller erby Both wrestling and roller derby are drawing big crowds guess we must be living in world of deceit and we must love it or we would not patronize some of these socalled sports Maybe this is the answer If the fans want fights and violence lets make it phony and bill all sports as exhibi tions Kinsmen Club applaud atoms At the regular meeting held Tuesday the Kinsmen Major Atom hockey players their manager Don McAllister coach Ray Heaslip and trainer Mark Heaslip were honored by their sponsors the Kinsmen Club of Barrie at banquet in their honor After the
