Football, Deadliest Sport.

Shown its Casualties Are Larger Than Those of Bull Fighting.

     New York, April 15,-In an effort to show that football is a more brutal and deadly sport than bull fighting a statistician has compiled a table showing the total casualties in Spain from bull fighting during 1911. There were 872 bull fights, attended by 7,000,000 people, but only ten bull fighters were killed and sixteen injured. The fatalities among the animals, however, are shown to have reached 4,400 bulls and 5,600 horses.

     Football casualties for 1911 were given as thirteen killed and 500 injured. In 1909 there were thirty-three deaths.
