The patrons of Gaelic football in this
city have become thoroughly disguised
with the treatment the game received last
Sunday at Central Park, and it is eX-
tremely doubtful now whether corpOraPs
guard will witness any of the future con-
tests announced. AS stated in THE CALL of
Monday last, before the game was half
finished the decision of the referee was
questioned and the customary battle-r0yal
between the teams resulted. The few
spectators who gathered in the stand re-
tired from the glound thoroughly dis
gusted with the conduct of the players,
who opened the seasons game in anything
but a satisfactory manner TO those who
patronize Gaelic football.
If the teams properly understood the
rules governing the game there would be
such thing as row emaDating from a de-
cisiOn whether Il be right OF wrong. With
the exception OF Gaelic football as played
on this coast there is seldom heard an OBJ
lection TO a referees decision over any
DuZZllng play made by member or mem
berS of a team engaged in football. When
teams enter field tc engage in football
they mutually decide upon a referee. and
his Judgment, when called upon to decide
a question of play, is never questioned
although some grumbieS of dissatisfaction
are sometimes heard. When Gaelic foot
ball players learn how TO engage in a game
without the necessity Of having 10 use
their fists as way of emphasizing their
opinions of a referees decision the better
il will be for the game ana those who are
interested in it.
