BOYCOTT THE HUNS
NO PLACE IN S(PORT AFTER. THE WAR,
The suggestion to boycott the Hun in sport as well as commerce was recently made by Mr. John CarlyonHughes, chairman and acting secretary of the Dovercourt Sports Club, Dovercourt, and himself an athlete of distinction a generation ago. That club in July, 1915, made a rule that 110 German'was eligible for membership, could not be introduced as a visitor or enter or compete in any club competition, and any member competing against a German in England or elsewhere would forfeit his membership. Mr. Carlyon-Hughes asks members of clubs to* see that their club passes a similar rule, and he appeal to every form of sport—racing, yachtmg rowing, football, tennis, cricket and golf, to mention only a few. If every club which adheres to the movement and individual members who are willing to co-operate will send him their names he will communicate with them with a view to any combined action that may be desirable.
