The editor of the Sentinel Dem,
ocrat complains that the Football
lists have boycoted his firm in that
they have given their work to the
ADVOCATE Job Rooms. Surely
the Captain don't mean that he or
his job firm would become part
ceps criminis to the great evil from
foot ball playing by printing the
teams bills and accepting pay for
same. No, Captain, it was not
your opinion Of the game that
secured the job work for the AD-
voCATE. The team is only par
ticular about the grade Of work,
that's what's the matter.

Foot ball may seem a bit rough
to the causual spectator, but to
the fellows engaged, with their
minds and bodies fitted by hard
training for the contests, it is pure
fun. Not every one can play foot
ball, not being mentally or physi-
cally fit for such violent and pro-
longed exercise. And there are
some who cannot even witness a
game without danger-moral and
physical. Apropos, we are re-
minded of an Irishman who went
to an Irish fair and cracked another
mans skull with his shilalah. The
man died on the spot and Pat was
convicted of murder, the only
point made by the defense being
that the injured mans Uranium was
very thin, as thin as pasteboard.
The Judge before passing sentence
asked Pat if he had anything to
say for himself. He had lone
question to ask. " "Well what is
ita" please yer Honor was that
anykind ola he'd for a mon to
take to a fairr" And by the same
fcken, a foot ball game certainly
wonId be a dangerous place for a
newspaper skull and a chalky
skeleton, even as spectator, lest
the former crack with bursting
indignation and the latter collapse
with the weight of its impressions
Of the brutal" game.

Our esteemed contemporary
comments in his last two issues
on something he is quite unac'
quainted with, viz: foot ball and
its tendencies. Just as any sport
depends on the men engaged in ii
for its good or bad characteristics,
so it is with foot ball. A glance
at the cline up" Of our eleven
certainly would not suggest to
any one a lot Of "brutes" or
"murderers." They are to
our mind a splendid lot of
young gentlemen and have Shown
themselves as such in all their
playing. Bro. Mitchell in admit
ting his comparative ignorance of
the game said, ''but it takes
neither knowledge, morals nor re-
ligion to criticise" and we thought
of our Sentinel Democrat critic.
Criticism that cannot be substanti-
ated is to say the least provoking,
and we would respectfully ask our
frlene to fully inform himself be-
fore he springs another kick on
the unsuspecting public
