White Men Losing Interest in
 the Game of l. LACROSSE

of Elks will recall the game of lacrosse that was played at Boston during the carnival last year. in which McLaugh lin put up a fine contest. despite his lack of training. He scored nearly all
 if not quite all of the goals of the win ming team by his own work. It was Mclaughlin who introduced New Eng land to the real game of lacrosse. His
 team won the cham pionship of that
 section of the country in 1882. Pick up
 any book on lacrosse records and you will find an account of the battle be- tween the Independents. captained by Mclaughlin, and the Montreal Que bec) team in 1887. The Ind epenGents lost this contest by one goal after the
 most stubbornIy fought game of its
 kind recorded in the annals of lacrosse.
 Had they won they might have claimed the worlds championship.
 In 1892 the United States Intercol
 legiate Lacrosse association adopted some very well-poised rules concerning the game and the conventions of 1893, 1894 and 1895 revised these rules but little. At the beginning of the sea son of 1892 it was thought by many that lacrosse would supplant baseball to great extent at the big colleges. Per haps if the game were not so compli
 cated. compared to the sport of the diamond. it might have gain ed a better hold on college athletes. However. the fact remains that almost anybody may
 ''have a try at" baseball. but 1t is not easy to master lacrosse. The game of work up to bat" in baseball fills in
 many aR hour with mediocre ball play CTS. but there is no such an oppor- tunity for the lovers of lacrosse. Still such an authority as r. A. Coleman says that lacrosse is simple and free from the technicalities that bewilGer the novice in baseball. The Indians 1 used to play any number of men. but ill the revised game the team has l2 players and the goals are 1S5 yards apart. These goals are something like
 diminutive foot ball goals. the sticks be- ing but six feet high and but six feet
 apart. Like in other games provided with goals. the object is primarily to
 keep the ball from the goal of your own team and to put it through the goal of
 the opposing team.
 The referee is power in himself in
 this game. Long lists of violations of the rules are given in the official guides of the game. and on each the referee may act. A player may have a crosse of any length to suit his style of play, | but the woven catgut must not be so loose that it forms a bag. The netting
 must be fiat when the ball is not on it and at it's widest part the crosse must 1 not be more than a, foot vice. To pre- vent the point of the stick being used +x,l,. lo 2 l., player there must be a string run fron 1t to the handle. The ball is made of sponge rubber and weighs about 5% ounces. Thomas BendeIow, the we'll known Scotch golfer and friend Of Harry Nardon. said the other day that he was more impressed with lacrosse when he first came to the ed States than with baseball. But getting into an argum ent with m old lacrosse play CT the latter made fun Of driving in golf and said that any good lacrosse

 dians. followers of sport are at q loss to account for the recent slump in interest in the modern game as it is interpreted by wh te men-mostly Ca- nadians. Thousands of people used to turn out in eastern cities to witness the exciting and fascinating game. In the sos lacrosse enjoyed great vogue and teams travelled over great portion of the country exhibiting the fine points of the sport to adlniring thousands. Ii was said that in Bost5n and surround ing towns there were enough lacrosse players to keep the athletes of the Six Nations busy. The followers of the sport defended it as vigorously as do the adherents of football in standing up'' for their favorite sport. Strength. agility. speed, good eye. quick mind. dexterity in handling the stick. accu- racy in long throws and excellent jueg- ment for combination plays, all such important factors in the game ap- pealed to all who appreciated outdoor sport.

 Those who have seen John l.. Sulli- van lately have asked him why he shaved off his mustache Sullivan in reply merely points his finger at his partner, Brooklyn" Jimmy Carroll. and growls. It appears that a week ago Sullivan sat in the rear of his cafe asleep. Carroll, who was in q tohing z mood. came in and tried to wake the big fellow by tickling his nose with a straw. As this method was unsuccess- ful, Carroll took pair of shears and cut off half of Johns becoming gray mustache. He also clipped off pom padour that Sullivan has been cultivat- ing for months. When Sullivan awoke he looked in the glass.
 IVY hos been cutting me up?' roared the former champion Of the world, as he felt for the left wing of his mus tache and his pompadour. A trip to a neighborlng barber shop was of course necessary. When John entered the barber was busy with q customer

 The game started at ? o'clock. with a vim and dash which resembled strongly the best playing of the teams in the old circuit. Purcell. who played center for the visitors. put up a first class game. His work seems to be modelled after that of George Bone, as he has the same shiftE tactics. speed and ability to fool his opponents.

 The Rev ALr SDalding. who Is ,nak- ing hard fight to stop boxing at Erie. Penn. witnessed the recent bout be tween Billy Smith and Owen Zeicler at that city. He did not receive a very cordial reception. and the spectators. many of whom knew him before he became a minister. yelled foot ball" at him repeatedly. At times he acted as if he were doing the boxing outside of the ring Instead Of tue contestants. He uncOnSciOusly kept bobbing his head forward as though feinting at an opponent in an effort to draw out a lead SO as to counter. He jolted an Erie business man twice In the ribs and StrDDed on his feet when Smith and Zelglcr were swapping rib roast CTS i'll the seventh round.

We should do the tflcK agaln tO- night.
 It will seem like old times to go down to the rink tonight and see the great and only game of polo. We will miss some familiar faces, but we will see some good polo just the same. The Waterbury team, as at present consti- tuted, could give any of the teams in the bigger leagues pretty good scare and perhaps a beating.
 Fall River has fallen by the wayside and is out of the Southeastern league. Evidently the people of Fall River do not appreciate a good thing when they see it. Hartford gave Tom Cottel and his band right good support. and it was expected that the same would be accorded them in Fall River. but it was not to be. Perhaps we will see the Fall River boys in Hartford in the State league.
