'Remarkable Populaniy of

FIRST REAL GAME IN 1876
Grvwt Btlli— Made in liMtf Five

the Favor Baseball CUluted la Ha
About the Una thai organUed
baseball became a powerful factor la
American sports, saya lb- 1-oulsvllle
Courier-Journal, American football
erept la. Not mo many arA apt to rat
tle oK football statistics aa are able
to.tell •terl«so* t play
era of prominence, and yet when the
statement la made tlfst the game of
football has developed with more
rapidity than any sport In the Uni
ted States, growing from a weakling
to a lusty young giant In an Incredi
bly short period of time. It Is stating
a common truth which Is well known
to every sporting au'hortty and
eheerfully granted by every dunler In
■porting goods In the United States.
In 1871 the National league of
baseball clubs was organized. We
had plenty of baseball before then,
but this new organisation helped
vastly to put baseball on ihe substan
tial footing It enjoy* at ,tlio present
time.
How many are there who know
that. In the aame year, IS7C, the real
game of American foot bull was in
spired? How few there are who
would think, so far as time is con
cerned, that the rise of baseball and
football In a measure Is synonymous.
And the reason for It all Is the fact
that football was a little backward at
the start and has only leaped to Its
populaaity within the last score of
years, while baseball awunx Into gen
eral favor from the date of the incep
tion of a well eonstllulod organiza
tion.
The missionaries of football
throughout the United States have
been the college men. Westerners
who went East to study at Harvard
and Yale, at Princeton and at other
universities wbtch have picked up
football one after the other, returned
home filled with the longing to see
football elevens established In the
cities In which they resided.
As the West became more thickly
settled, and colleges sprang up here
and here throughout the country,
there was a desire on the part of the
students to emulate the Kust In the
matter of participation 'n football,
and the result was the Vradual In
troduction of the game Into the larg
er educational Institutions, and from
those to the smaller.
From 1880 to 1890 there was si
ways football In the United States,
but little was heard of It except In
college centers. It was a long way
from becoming a sport which was
some day to command thousands of
columns of attention from the news
papers of the land. After 1890 the
big games between Harvard and
Tale, and Tale and Princeton, and
between other colleges of promi
nence. began to be witnessed by sys
tematleally Increasing crowds. It
was discovered that men were trav
eling from one limit of the-Unlted
States to the other to be present at
the annual football game between
their alms mater and some univer
sity dearly loved as an enemy. As"
the crowds swelled and their Inter
est waxed, the game was forced more
and more on public attention, but it
Is only within the last Ave years that
football has attained anything like
the popularity of baseball, and now,
considering Ihe brief time In which
It Is possible to play. It Is a ques
tion If, all things considered, It does
not outstrip baseball In the feverish
anxiety of Its votaries to make the
most of their opportunity.
When It Is known that the output
of a factory furnishing football sup
plies is now twenty times grester
than it was Ave years ago, some idea
may be had of the Increased number
of football players In the United
States. The output of tlie same fac
tory Is almost fifty times greater
than it was twenty years ago, or
even fifteen years ago.
Whether boya of tender years
should be allowed to play football is
a question which It Is not the pur
pose of this article to debate. It Is
a matter which rests solely with the
parents. One thing Is very certain,
no boy should be permitted to take
part in the game who Is not sound
constitutionally. It Is the most try
ing of all our outdoor pastimes, and,
while It may be splendid exercise
and a tonic for the strong, It is far
too greedy in Its demands for the
weak. To go through a game of foot
ball Is the equivalent of splitting
wood In the back yard, and If that
Met were Impressed energetically on
some youngsters who want to play
but are hardly up to physical re
quirements, it might discourage
them to such an extent that they
would be willing to sit on the fence
and watch the others.
Llptoa To Try Again.
~ Sir Thomas Llpton, thrice defeated
in his efforts to obtain possession of
the America's cup has determined to
try the fourth time to win the trophy.
This news Is not surprising. Al
though had been said in pub
lic of Sir Thomas' future purpose la
the international yachting line, oc
casional hints have been dropped
which have led to the belief that he
has been hard at work with the view
of successfully solving the perplex
ing problem how to wrest the tro
phy standing for the "bine ribbon
of the sea" from Its custodians of 64
▼ears.
