Il saw bunch of tykeS playing hockey
in the vacant lot next to my house this
afternoon. My own boys We're in the
game. AS / looked at 'em out of the
window I couldn't help thinking what a
I snap the youngsters of this era have in
the matter of playing tools compared
with what l had when / was trying to
grow up and get some fun out of life.
Now, this game of hockey. SO far as
can see, is just the same as our old
game of Skinny. Maybe they've got rules
for the game and all that sort of thing
now, but it's shiny all right enough,
because the idea is just to club the ball
into the other gangs territory. isn't it?
We'll, these kids that We're playing
hockey this afternoon, including my own
shavers. all had the bullest hockey or
Skinny sticks that YOU eyer saw. The
sticks were of strong wood. with fine
handles to take hold Of. and they had q
fine big curved end that just can't miss
the ball if the kid is anywhere near it,
and the sticks were vanished all cute
and pretty, it looked so much like fun,
that Skinny or hockey game with sure
enough tools to play IT. that I felt like
hiking out there on the vacant lot and
taking a hack at it myself.
