right then but Ginger and Kelley, who was quite
good friends, though naturally little shy of each

of the kind, Kelley wasn't and showed

CCoRDING to the following let
"a ter, tAts Soccer or "sooker'
- football ISN'T really such a girl,
game as we have thought It. Thanks
to Mr.. o'Toole' In the light OF his
communication I a see why the
game has been taken UP In Kansas.
Irish Counties Rooms, Nov, ., 1875.
Sporting Ecttor, Evening world,
Dear sir-I thoroughly approve OF
your attitude towards "socoer" football
as expressed in your issue OF Oct, IS,
As you arc In o position In which
you can exert more influence than most
%olergynien for the morals o. young
men, I hope that you will entertain my
IDEAS relative TO football.
I have played rugby, soccer and
Gaelic football for various periods
within the last eighteen years, have
had my arm broken, my ribs crushed
and received many dangerous wounds
playing RUGBY,
! saw a mnn killed at Iandsdowne
Road Grounds, Dublin, when engaged
IN Rugby IN February, 1895.
Soccer Is utterly unfit for amateur
athletes. It is an English professional
game, the players receiving a remuae
alton OF about O. a man per week.
Another feature Of this game which
may be unknown to you Is the danger
Gus element called "hackling." When
The ball Is IN high play and the men
are grouped waiting for It's descent, as
striking with tho hands Is not allowed,
the players kick wildly at the falling
mall, ard dangerous k!cs- are received
IN the chest, stomach and limbs, the
kicks received on the front part OF the
leg from knee-cap to ankle constitutes
''hackllng." A hacked man Is use
less as a runner or FOR any other
branch Of athletics, as his recovery Is
never complete. For this reason no
sprlnter or any athlete should play
Dublin in 1900 when playing Soccer
and the Sporting Chronicle" reports
fourteen deaths last year in England
OF men playing this un-amateur man
killing game.
Gaelic football is very fast; as tho
men are allowed to strike the ball with
the hands, there Is no danger OF
~"hackllng." This game does not per
init a man TO catch, trip or tackle; 1t
Is in all a game that can be !nduiSod
IN by the very lightest men, as speed,
skill and endurance, not brute strength,
are most required,
j will close my remarks with the
hope that as Ir.shmen are factors IN
America, and a power In the athletic
sphere, you will give Gaelic football
an opportunity 10 assert Itself both
for the sake OF amateur sport and for
the best interests Of young Americans,
among whom many Irish pastimos have
become 50 popular, l am, sir,
Faithfully yours,
