Lacrosse Increasing In Popularity.

Lacrosse, the national game of Canada, is rapidly becoming a worldwide sport. The Britisher has scattered cricket and association football wherever he has settled. Baseball is confined almost entirely to Americans and Canadians, and is being taken up by the Chinese. On the other hand, lacrosse is played not by Canadian residents in foreign lands, but by teams composed of natives in the United States, Great'Britaln, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa. Japan, etc.
