IS IT CRICKET?
COURTESY AND SPORT Is courtesy an essential ingredient of-a sporting code? The phrase “sporting code” is used by the'objectors to the Kent terrace work in a prelude to a direct thrust at the impartiality of Magistrate E. Page, who reported upon the inquiry into the widening operations there. “There is a sporting code,” the statement says, “which demands that the defeated contestant accept the umpire’s decision —whether right or wrong—in a good spirit, but it is nevertheless ‘cricket’ to appeal when the umpire unwisely essays to excuse his judgment by giving unsound reasons for his decision. ... It is on this principle that the objectors register this appeal to the final arbiter—the public.”
