the rules. a tendency to seek loop
holes by cunning that is little be-
wildering. 1t would be the height of
unfairness to accuse foot ball of breed
ing a lack of sportsmanship, for it
has more than a medium share of the
sporting spirit. Yet it cannot be
denied that rules have been constantly
amended in the past in order to shut
out contractions of the spirit in which
they were framed. And still there
are--or were last year-leathern elbow
pads which, in conjunction with the
hidden BALI trick. give great, If
not unfair, advantage to those who
wear them over those who do not.
In the run of most of the other
sports, especially of the individual

fact that America seems to have got
into the habit of handsomely defeat
ing us. No excuse can be made-the
winners are the better men, and there
is an end to it. But the reason
which is not an excuse--may lie in
the undoubted American trend to-
ward specialization, while we still are
ant to spread our energies over sew
eral pastimes. In consequence, an
Englishman playing variety of
games against an American would
probably win more than he lost: it is
certain that where he met defeat it
would be severe. ..

Americans frequently find cricket
duh. Secure in the pride and interest
of their own foot ball, they have moth
ing to say four ours. So the English
man, imbued with a proper retaliatory
spirit. comes to America with the de-
termination not to be seduced from
allegiance to his native sports. Base
ball, he decides in advance, is nothing
but a travesty of the game Of round
ers" that palled in his thirteenth year;
foot ball stands condemned as a ridicu-
lously dangerous game, in which men
have to wear armor to avoid mutila-
ton, if not death. He is wrong.

suspiciously like that of the rest OF
the crowd. The sheer skill Of the bat
ter in hitting a fast and deceptive
ball squarely in the middle with an
exiguous piece of wood, sending IL
soaring over the boundary; the cum
ming of the pitcher with drop ana
curve and variation of speed, and the
grace and agility of the men In the
field catching and returning palis
taken at any angle and pace, bringing
off neat double play"-all these
things proved irresistible.
Calls Game Spirit-Ugly.
7 The spirit of the game, though.
seemed ugly; / doubt whether it was
any worse than that to be seen in
some English soccer" games, but II
was definitely ugly, both among the
players and the crowd. 1t had some
elements of humor, especially as many
of the crowd suggested numbering the
umpire without losing certain ge-
niality. There were many disputes ana
threats of violence. which at one
time seemed unavoidable. Arbitrator
always a precarious function, seems
especially dangerous in base pail, as
il is in soccer
1t is in foot ball, however, that the
foreigner finds most of interest ana,
since it is what it is, some 1llumlna-
ton upon American psychology IN re-
gard to sports. At first sight an anna
teur game that gathers in an enor-
nous revenue from a fascinated pub
lie seems a paradox not easy to under
stand. Yet If there is one thing more
certain than the fact that foot ball
makes money, it is that the game IS
essentially amateur. There is. L
think, something very fine about these
young boys SO ready and willing to
offer up their bodies in kind OF
furious devotion for the sake of Win
ming a game. That, with what is per-
haps the greater sacrifice of vigorous
training, is enough to command re-
spect for the game. AS for interest,
regretfully it must be conceded that
the game has hardly a peer in this
respect.
No Lack of Sportsmanship.
Tears in the dressing room, after
defeat, to the British observer seem
curiously alien to the fierce vigor that
is shown during play. To generalize,
winning seems to matter more in
America than anywhere else, GER
tainly in Great Britain. A slight ac-
quaintance with the development of
the game reveals, too, q reliance upon
the letter rather than the spirit of
