gularly like truckmen moving dry
goods boxes. Moreover, the slightest
quick move OF the ball sent them fly
ing over the top of it, an ungraceful
motion for an athlete.
The new push balls are shoulder
high and either white or black. White
is liked because it is easier to see.
Bad eyesight, you say, not to see
ball five feet tall. But that is all right.
You join a team of four athletic maid
ems and go into the gymnasium to
match skill with four other fair ath
letes, and in five minutes, if you are
not blinded by the struggle that fol-
lows, you are born push-baller and
should be debarred from the game as
possessing preternatural talent.
The victorious team has the right of
choice next time about starting the
ball. And if the captain is shrewd she
viii not tell her opponents until the
minute for commencing the game
whether she will start the ball or not.
And like as not the other captain has
instructed all her team how to stop
the ball when, after all, she will have
to start it herself, if the victorious red
captain says so.
