In at the goal. Inc S0aiS ne III inc "a
IRENE ends oil the room. In the red end
the goal is marked by black circle.
In the blue end it is outlined by white
mark. To win the came the reds must
Dush the ball 90 their end OF the room
and place it uuon the black circle.
Now with a great ball the size Of
Tesla push ball there might be some
.dopbt about this point especially as
the ball gets little winded by being
battered by so many athletic hands in
the course of the Journey up the
room.
But this is arranged by scientific
pr, cess. Inside the goal circle there
is "a small black This leads TO an
electric BEN placed in the ceiling, Up
ON being touched this button rings the
bell overhead in q musical unkle ana
the game IS over.
Both sides know this and there is a
desperate struggle between the reCs
and blues to get the ball upon the but
ton. It need not remain there, but 1t
must hit it squarely TO ring. Often
a game is PLAYED nearly out ana can
not be finished. The nearly victorious
reds have the ball in their end OF the
room and have got it in the circle, but
they can't get il over the button, the
blues are fighting them so fierce!y.
One little blue girl, with her blouse
ripned from her throat. stands strad-
die of the button and YOU cant push
her OFF of it. Her team are supporting
her and keeping the other side from
pushing the ball against her. Ii Is
AGAINST the rule to tackle a player.
All must be done through the ball.
The little girl in blue must be pushed
of her perch over the button by a
blow of the ball. That makes it hard
err. but thousand times more interest
tng for the reds.
HITTING THE BULLS EYE.
Now. the uninitiated might ask why
in the world one of the little girls in
red who is trying so hard to set the
ball upOn the button does not cheat a
little. Why does she not put her
small. slippered foot forward and press
the button until it rings? She might
and would doubtless like to do it, but
she cannot. At this point in the game
the umpire steps in. Crouching down
10 the floor on the side away from the
goal. she watches the ball carefully.
She decides when il rings the bell.
The bell will ting-a-ling-a-ling twenty
times before the ball has touched 1t,
because in the scramble there will be
fving feet placed upon it. But it does
not count a goal.
And here is another fine point in
Tesla. For every time the button is
stepped on it counts foul The girl
whose team steps on it loses so many
points. These are counted in the final
reckoning. And that is why in an ex-
citing game between skilled players
there will be a dead silence when it
comes to the goaling point. Neither
side wants to lose by stepping upon
the button and ringing the electric
bell overhead.
'There are all kinds Of girls;
There is every kind Of girl.
So runs the popular song. And so
in athletics there are bloOmer girls
and skirted girls. The boomer girls
say they can play better than the 9th
ers with their divided skirts and sweat
erS
The skirted girls wear very short
skirts that hinder the legs no more
than boomers. The waist is a blouse
with the tiniest leather belt, which is
said to support the painting frame in
a desperate hand-to-hand struggle.
Underneath. the skirted girl wears a
silk and wool something. The bloom
er girl wears what she pleases; no
man knows what.
THE PUSH BALL.
The first games Of Tesla were played
with a BAN as tall as the waist. But
this was awkward. The girls had to
