Download or read book English Sport Classic Reprint written by Alfred Edward Thomas Watson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-21 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Sport With a view to subsequent appearance in book form I lately published in the Badminton Magazine, under the general title Masters of Their Arts, a series of papers intended to place on record the manner in which the chief English sports and pastimes were conducted and practised at the beginning of the Twentieth Century. Masters of Their Arts seemed appropriate, for the reason that those from whom I sought contributions might be fittingly so described. I drew out a list of the authorities whom I considered best able to supply what I wanted, and was extremely fortunate in obtaining a favourable answer to my requests in every case. Perhaps it would be presumptuous on my part to say that I do not see how the list could well have been strengthened; that, however, is a matter I leave with no little confidence to the judgment of readers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Book of Cambridge Verse Nevertheless, after all deductions have been made, how much true poetry is yet left! He must be hard to please who cannot find intense enjoyment in the Eclogues of Phineas Fletcher, in Cowley's epitaph on Harvey, in the Miltonic stanzas of Gray's Installation Ode, in a score of other pieces, grave, quaint, or classical in their allusive ness of phrasing. Especially grateful must we be to the number of poets, of exquisite feeling and easy mastery of form, who during the last fifty or sixty years have enriched the language with delicate and elegant verse, from which it has been only too difficult to choose because its quantity is so great and its merit so even. Of this we trust we have given a tolerably adequate selection but it would have been easy to multiply it fourfold.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Poetry of Sport Here a few words may be interpolated as to the curious rise and fall of favourite sports and pastimes. Some few, indeed, are unaffected by time. Cricket has been the national pastime for a century, and as for its introduction, 'clearly it was a boys' game in the early days of Elizabeth' Mr. Andrew Lang declares in his preface to the 'cricket' volume 5 racing has been a national sport for a period not easily to be defined - is not the famous 'rowley Mile' at Newmarket so called because it was the favourite course of King Charles II. P - and there never was a time when, after some fashion or other, Eng lishmen did not hunt. But other pastimes 'have their day and cease to be, ' vanishing with a celerity which only equals their rise. Twenty years ago England in general went rinking. Rinks were laid down in all directions the manufacture of roller skates became a busy industry. What could be more delightful and exhilarating? Enthusiasts wondered why so simple a contrivance as the roller skate had not been invented long since, and regretted the time they had wasted on so foolish a business as croquet 3 for croquet was formerly almost what rinking had now become.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sports Extra: Classics of Sports Reporting Not all the selections belong in the realm of pure literature. The boys had no time to compose a piece for the ages: it is, indeed, a wonder that the syntax IS relatively unscrambled and the English is reasonably good. The majority of these stories was written in a huge, outdoor psychopathic ward with anywhere from 30 to inmates screaming insanely and the copy desk demanding a lead for the next edition, and damn' quick, too. Much of the copy was fed in short takes, or paragraphs, to telegraph instruments clattering insistently and it was written in the white heat of excitement on eighteen crowded, precarious inches of wooden benches and tables under frightful conditions - ram, cold, heat and the critical attention of insects that fly or crawl or have the power of speech.
