MANY AMERICANS WITH

FOOTBALL IS
POPULAR WITH!
RIO DE JANEIRO, June 5 (Corre
spondence of Associated Press).—As
sociation football is the popular out
door sport of Brazil. In fact, it is
virtually the only outdoor sport to
which the Brazilians have taken with
much enthusiasm. There is some in
terest in tennis, swimming and row
ing, but football is to the younger gen
eration of Brazil what baseball is to
the people of the United States. Bra
zilians are not interested in baseball.
The game was adopted in Brazi
about fifteen years ago. Interest awak
ened by the games played by the Brit
ish residents was quickened by the re
turn of Brazilian youths from school
in England. A few of them joined the
British teams and later formed teams
of their own. Today there are as many
clubs in Rio de Janeiro as there are
amateur baseball clubs in one of the
large cities of the United States. All
are amateur organizations, and many
leagues exist in this city under the
supervision of the “Metropolitana de
Desportos Terrestres.” The clubs of
the entire country are governed by the
“Confederation Brazileira dos Despor
tes.”
City, state and national champion
ships are held, and then an “all-star”
team is picked to represent Brazil in
the annual series for the championship
of South America, other countries
participating being Chile, Argentina
and Uruguay.
This international championship has
been held three times only, beginning
in 1916 in Buenos Aires, with Uru
guay victorious. In 1917 it was held
in Montevideo and Uruguay won again.
The 1918 series was postponed owing
' to the Spanish influenza epidemic in
Brazil in October, and did not take
place until May, 1919, Rio de Janeiro
being the city and the victorious team
Brazil. The next series for the year
1919 will be held in Santiago late this
year. A plan to have the United
States enter this championship has
been frequently discussed here, with
a view to making it an “all-American”
affair.
In Rio de Janeiro the Flumeness
club, with a membership of 3,000. re
cently constructed a half-million-dol
lar stadium, and it was here that the
recent championship games were
-,
played. With a seating capacity of 1
30,000, the stadium was filled for each
of the six games.
From the viewpoint of the North
American the striking feature at one
of these games is in hearing Brazilian
“torcedores” or “rooters” use the Eng
lish language. In adopting the game
the English expressions were also ac
cepted. and the shrieks of “Foul!
“Offside!” and “Shoot the goal!” com
ing from the lips of Brazilians always
are a source of much surprise to the
North American seeing his first game.
