FRESNO,S CHALLENGE.

As matter of cold fact, San Fran
oisco's merchants and capitalists have
been deplorRbl bly-though not unusually
- -diatory in coming forward with the
ready cssh for tho construction OF the
proposed San Joaquin valley road. The
Traffic association has worked manfully
Tor the attainment of this most desirable
project, but the end is not yet assured.
Enough money has not been subscribed
by the msn who would be most bene-
nted. and there is no certainty that it
will be forthcoming By them. In this.
San Francisco has again shown the
world her incapacity for becoming
truly great metropolis and commercial
center.
All this is disheartening enough to
those interested in the material growth
and progress of the state-so dishearter-
ing. in truth, that in many quarters it
ie deemed inadvisable to give publicity
to the facts ior fear of harming Cali
fornia.
But that is a false pride and caution.
After all, San Francisco ia not Cali
fornia, and only the San Francisco
slurisn is laboring under the delusion
that it is. There are enterprise and
brains in Cslfarnia-th though the best OF
the latter and the most of the former be
not indigenous to the bay region.

All this, it may be thought, is not OF

was football. In 1924 James l. forbade

Of archery.
Our English ancestors were q brutal
race. In 1867 Sir Thomas Elyot coun-
sells the suppression OF football, bscause
OF the "beastlie furie," the danger to
life and limb, and the rancor and malice
it engendsred.
Master Philip stubbs, in his Anatomy
OF Abuses. published in 1888. dsnounces
the "murtherng spirit" and practice OF
this game, where neeks, arms and legs
are broken, noses crushed and eyes
bungsd out. The Middlssex records OF
Queen Elizabsth's time record how 100
persons were fined for completely In q

There is another record OF an inquest on
the body OF one Roger LAforde, who had
been killed at football.
In 1908 the city of Manchester sup.
pressed the game on account OF the
great disorder IL caused in the town
from the wild excitement OF players and
citizens.
"All's fair in the ball Of Scons." was
a motto in the town OF Scone, where the
game is supposed to have originated. In
this Scone game rough playing was the
rule, but no one WAS allowed to kick the

part of the town would play against the
other, and sometimes the married men
would play against the single men. In
many towns the game was played on

ginning of Lent. the whole population
taking part as actors or spectators. This
custom has been revived in Warwick
shire, where in 1875, more than 800
years ago. certain wedding was post
poned because the bridegroom's leg had
been broken at football.
Inese iacss, says the minneapolis
Tribune, show that a game which for
centuries has retained it's place as fl rst
OF out-of-door aports, and which in old
England was able to defy royal edicts
and the jealous persecution OF the
champions of other forms of athletic
recreation, must. possess elements that
account for its vitality aud its strong
hold on the popular heart. This game
has doubtless done much TO develop
