the game any hard ball of medium size will do, and one club will be
enough with which to practice
The golf ball, as I have said, is made of hard rubber, but in learning
the game any hard ball of medium size will do, and one club will be
enough with which to practice.
The jog trot is the thing to start in with. Try it for a week or two,
and you will be surprised at the ease with which you can do it. At
first a mile is long enough for a run. After a month you can do two
miles without as much fatigue. Finally, if the gait be not too fast,
you can keep it up for hours.
his closed fist, either perfectly even or irregular in their height
above the hand, according to his fancy
‘Straw holder’ arranges the straws so that the top ends protrude from
his closed fist, either perfectly even or irregular in their height
above the hand, according to his fancy. It may happen that the first
boy to choose a straw will select the short one. This in a measure
spoils the fun, and to guard against it the lads are often made to
stand up in a line and each one in turn pulls a straw from the fist of
‘Straw-holder.’ Each one is expected and required to put it behind his
back immediately and keep it there until all the boys in the line have
straws behind their backs.

For a journey of ten miles or more I would not advise you to make the
pack load more than two hundred pounds, though I have known mules to
carry three hundred pounds at a pace of twenty miles a day over rough
trails.

remove the sod and fill in the space with hard-packed earth
If there is thick grass in the infield it must be cut from the
pitcher”s box to the back-stop, nine feet in width, or better still
remove the sod and fill in the space with hard-packed earth. The
players will soon make the batting-crease and base lines marked on the
field.
made by standing erect on the brink edge or board and, instead of
springing from the board, allowing the body, kept rigid, to fall
forward until it attains the proper distance, then suddenly throw up
the feet and plunge in like an arrow and without a splash
A very neat plunge, which requires practice and a little pluck, is
made by standing erect on the brink edge or board and, instead of
springing from the board, allowing the body, kept rigid, to fall
forward until it attains the proper distance, then suddenly throw up
the feet and plunge in like an arrow and without a splash.
which (say on the ‘tail’ side) you have cut at the extreme edge a
little notch, thereby causing a minute point or tooth of metal to
project from that side of the coin
The secret lies in the use of a quarter of your own, on one face of
which (say on the ‘tail’ side) you have cut at the extreme edge a
little notch, thereby causing a minute point or tooth of metal to
project from that side of the coin. If a coin so prepared be spun on
the table, and should chance to go down with the notched side upward,
it will run down like an ordinary coin, with a long continuous
‘whirr,’ the sound growing fainter and fainter till it finally ceases;
but if it should run down with the notched side downward, the friction
of the point against the table will reduce this final whirr to half
its ordinary length, and the coin will finally go down with a sort of
‘flop.’ The difference of sound is not sufficiently marked to attract
the notice of the spectators, but is perfectly distinguishable by an
attentive ear. If, therefore, you have notched the coin on the ‘tail’
side, and it runs down slowly, you will cry ‘tail’; if quickly,
‘head.’
