AUSTRALIAN SPORT.
STANDARD OF PERSONAL HONOUR VERY LOW. By Telegraph—Pres3 Association—Cot>vrlsrl>» Sydney, November 23. Judge Murray, of tho Distinct Court, in sentencing a prisoner for an offence arising out of a sports meeting, declared that the standard of personal honour with regard to sport in Australia had fallen very low. Men did trickery, deceitful things, not because tliey themselves had reached a low ebb of morality, but because I hey lived, so far as tho sport was concerned, in an atmosphere seething with dishonour and deceit. There appeared to bo little honour and little chivalry amongst sporting people.
