Foot ball is not making the headway
on the Peninsula as those interested eX
pected. One reason of this is that the people
there have an idea that the game is toe
brutal and dangerous. This is looked upon
by the foot ball admirers as a rather strangl
idea, as some of the finest foot ball players IL
the country came from this Peninsula
Still there is not a foot ball team below
Dover at the present time. Base ball is the
favorite game on the Peninsula and from tn,
present indication it is likely to continue tt
be the favorte game there for some time t.
come.
