Racing is done by drawing a taw line, from which the whip tops start

game and not so easy as at first appears.

The feats, known to every boy, can be performed alone, and, when a

boy, I know I did practice a lot by myself in order to avoid the
consequences of defeat

If you have to sleep on the ground, you should have a poncho, that is

a blanket faced with rubber on one side, to keep the body from too
close a contact with the wet earth
If you have to sleep on the ground, you should have a poncho, that is
a blanket faced with rubber on one side, to keep the body from too
close a contact with the wet earth. The ideal camping place is near
a good spring or beside a stream of pure water, in a natural grove
with plenty of dry dead wood in the vicinity. The dry wood should be
protected from rain if you are camping in the same place for some
time.

Double-runners, or bob sleds, can be made at home, but the work

requires so much varied material, so many tools, and so much skill
that I shall not tell how the thing is done
Double-runners, or bob sleds, can be made at home, but the work
requires so much varied material, so many tools, and so much skill
that I shall not tell how the thing is done. A number of boys, who
desire to own a bob sled in partnership, can have the work done by a
wagon-maker, who knows just how, and has all the material to hand.
Such sleds, and they are usually well made, can be purchased at
reasonable prices and of any size from establishments that deal in
such articles. These can be found in any of our large cities. The safe
and sane sled, for the ordinary youngster, and the average hill, is
that which has a capacity for two–one is still better–and which is
steered by sitting astern and keeping one leg back to act as a runner.

The formation is to a great extent governed by the plays to be made,

but as a general rule the seven rushers stand in line of battle facing
their opponents
The formation is to a great extent governed by the plays to be made,
but as a general rule the seven rushers stand in line of battle facing
their opponents. Just behind the rushers stands the quarter-back, and
a few yards in the rear of him the two half-backs are placed; while a
dozen yards further back, alone in his glory, the full-back guards
his precious goal.

After having exhibited the trick of lighting a candle by smoke,

privately put a bit of paper between your fingers, and retire to one
corner of the room with a single candle, and pass the hand in which
you hold the paper several times slowly over the candle until the
paper takes fire; then immediately blow the candle out, and presently
pass your hand over the snuff and relight it with the paper
After having exhibited the trick of lighting a candle by smoke,
privately put a bit of paper between your fingers, and retire to one
corner of the room with a single candle, and pass the hand in which
you hold the paper several times slowly over the candle until the
paper takes fire; then immediately blow the candle out, and presently
pass your hand over the snuff and relight it with the paper. You may
then crumple the paper, at the same time extinguishing the flame, by
squeezing it suddenly, without burning yourself. If this trick be
performed dextrously, it is a very good one. It is not necessary for
the performance of this trick that all the other lights in the room
should be extinguished; in fact the trick is more liable to discovery
in a dark room, than in one where the candles are burning, on account
of the light thrown out by the paper while it is burning, previous to
the re-illumination.

The catcher stands behind the bat and without gloves, and with no

protection for his face or body he catches the ‘hot’ balls the giver
sends to him

In the old days, with the help of the blacksmith, the harness maker,
and the carpenter, boys had to put their own skates together. Those
were certainly clumsy affairs, but there was no end of good sport in
them.
