are best kept in a tin box in which a number of holes are pierced to
admit air, but they must not be so large as to let the worms out.
Moist, but not too wet wood or other moss is better than earth as a
nest for worms, if they are to be kept some time. Keep your bait box
in a cool, damp place, and whenever you want worms, lift the moss
and you will find the worms hanging to it.

We have reason to believe that the first marbles were fashioned from
pebbles on the ocean”s shore, or ground into roundness by the action
of river currents. We do not know when or where marbles originated,
but of the antiquity of the game we are very sure. Egyptian boys
played marbles before the days of Moses, and marbles are among the
treasures found buried in the ruins of Pompeii, which you will
remember was destroyed by an eruption of lava from Vesuvius in the
first century of the Christian era. To-day marbles are played in every
civilized land under the sun, and with slight differences, the method
of shooting and the games are practically the same.

I look back at with the most pleasure–who was holding a smaller boy
under the water. We fought quite naked, and–well, I licked the bully,
and never after that did he try to frighten small boys in that
swimming hole.

Sometimes a crack player throws with such force and accuracy as to
split a bait top. This is the acme of the game and the crowning glory
of the player. Often the bait consists of toothless, battered wrecks,
but this does not lessen the fun of the game.

A wooden peg two inches long is driven into the ground
February 28, 2009 on 5:00 am | In Sports Web | No CommentsA wooden peg two inches long is driven into the ground. A little must
be left above the earth. The defeated boy has then to seize this with
his teeth and draw it out. If he has difficulty in getting hold, the
other boys are the more delighted and set up the cry, ‘Root! Root!’
but this is not fair, and he should not be discouraged.
