The latest game among the small
boys is known as Flip Flap and it
bids fair to SuperScde hOp-scotch as Il
street diversion. Like hop-scotch. il is
played on diagram marked out with
chalk on a smooth strip Of pavement
The diagram is fashioned in squares
like Il big checker board. and every
square except one almost in the middle"
is numbered. The unnumhcred square
bears the euphonious name of "Rust-
ct" The implements of the game are
a stick. and wooden clothrs-pin
whose rounded head has had its
curves whitfield off. The pin is placed
on the ground just outside the dia-
gram. and the player hits it smartly
with his stick. 1t gives really aston
iShin@ mop into the air, the player
bats ii with his stick ana tries to place
il into one OF the numbered squares
The number Of the square the pin falls
in is added to his score. If the pin
fails across 4 line. he loses his turn.
and if it falls into the 'BuSter" square
he loses all his score. ii is game
whose result depends just bout equally
on luck and skill, which probably az
counts for its growing popularity.
