One of the "features" of the "Record" of the United Free Church for December is an interview with Mr. Erie H. Liddell, the Olympian, 'Sprint Champion, on the subject of Sport and Betting. In course of the conversation Mr. Liddell said: "Sport and betting are entirely different and separate things; they have' no real connexion. Betting is business. If it did not exist the quality of the play would remain the same. To the true sportsman betting adds nothing to the interest lof the sport. It thrills me to go to race and watch the men putting every particle of skill and strength into the contest. A bet on the result would add nothing to ure. The true sporting spirit is tq make up your mind to win if you can, and, whether you win or fail, to meet your fortune with a clean conscience and a smiling face.
