ASSOCIATION FOOTBALL.


The failure of professional football was great
disappointment to the followers Of the drib-
bling code, large number Of whom thought
that the game would jump Immediately into
popularity. But II was hardly TO be expected In
the face Of counter attractions thnt the public
would flock to see the games In sufficient num-
bers to place the project upon q paying basis
Had the season been delayed until after Thanks
giving Day when the interest In tho Rugby
game had subsidized, there might have been
better prospect OF success.
In England, where tho crowd at all cup"
games always number two figures in thousands.
the conditions are different, the weather being
warmer and the counter attraction of Rugby
football being overcome. Just now the excite
ment at all matches In England Is at fever heat
and, like baseball In this country, the local
pride Is not interfered with by tho fact that
most OF the players have more right to play
for the town they represent than they would
have to take part in an international game and
represent America. 1t does not matter whether
team In Lancashire. composed OF two-thrds
Scotchmen plays IA team in Warwickshire, COM
posed OF all scotchmen. The interest is just as
great and the patriotism as keen as though all
the men were born at the place they represent.

don. In the north OF England and midlands
nothing Is heard at this time of the year except
association football. Everything gives way TO
It, and In the words of a well known critic OF
the game It matters not whether Lord Rose
berry Is about to unite Ireland in bonds of per-
petual peace or disintegrate the British empire
the great question OF all questions is, Should
the Wolves have beaten Eyerton?'" In Eng
land. too, there Is a great deal Of betting over
football and at many of the games in the north
Of England, the professional bc9kmaker attends
az he would a race meeting. This must injure
the game eventually, for, according to report,
some OF the clubs do not always play to win.
Association football has obtained a foothold
In this city, but for the most part the clubs are
composed OF factory hands of Scotch or English
birth. who can afford time to play the game only
on sundays. There are two or three clubs OF q
different class which play only Saturdays and
public holidays, and 1t is to these that should
look to advance the game in popularity In this
country. Some OF the Transatlantic steamships
have excellent teams, which are able to give
fine exhibitions Of the game, and a few years
ago the eleven OF the Majestic were more than
match for any OF the clubs Of this vicinity: The
association game has much TO commend itself
to the sport-loving public, and while the initial
attempt to popularize 1t has resulted in 80 dis
NAL failure there Is no reason why II should
not yet occupy n prominent place In the category
OF American sports

Coughlan left this country in delicate health
last spring. after being discharged from st.
Luke's Hospital, where he had been lying In "a
critical state for some weeks. He had previous

country, and he has been competing for some
months without question with marked success
