LIVES OF ATHLETES.
A DOCTOR'S OBSERVATIONS. (by cable— pjsess association— cojymcht.) (Sydney "Sun" Service.) (Received October 30th, 5.5 p.m.) LONDON, October 29. "There is a common belief that firstclass athletes die young, but at least as regards cricket this is untrue," writes Dr. Bradford-Hill, of the Institute of Medical Research, in the "Lancet." "Only four per cent, die before thirty-five, whereas the normal deathrate of ordinary men before thirty-five is nearly nine per cent. A cricketer is likely to live much longer than a golfer, and an amateur first-class cricketer slightly longer than a professional.''
