rules and limited number of players,
he interested the young men of Montreal
in 1t, and it sprang into public favor
so rapidly that within very few years
it was regarded as the distinctive ma
tiOnal game of Canada. He took la
crosse team to England and Ireland in
1875, and introduced the game there.
