PHYSICAL EXERTION.
AGE’S LIMIT ON SPORTING EN-
DEAVOUR
(Published in the "Daily Mail.") LONDON, Sept. 23.
"Middle-aged persons must accept the fact that blood vessels, with advancing years, become increasingly less resilient if they would avoid sudden death while playing games," says the "Daily Mail," commenting on the deaths of Sir Gilbert Clayton, High Commissioner of Iraq, and Sir John Gatti, former chairman of the London County Council, who died yesterday while golfing. "It is not essential or advisable to dispense with exercise completely, but the stresses and strains which the human material can stand must be discovered as an architect finds out whether a building is safe. This is cnly possible by means of periodic medical examinations. Elderly persons must realise their diminishing capacity for physical exertion, and grade their sports on a descending scale."
