SEASON FOR SPINNING TOPS
Boys Of Malta Gather in the Streets by
the Hundreds for the
Sport.

This is the top-spinning season In
Malta, and hundreds of boys are spin
ming them in the streets. The tops
used are like the common American
toy spun with a string. There are a
few whipping tops.
The favorite game oil the top spin
ners is as follows: The boys draw
lots to see whose top is to be placed
on the ground. Then the others try
to hit the top on the ground villa the
spikes of their own tops when hurl-
ing them at the beginning Of the spin.
If they miss they pick up the spinning
top in the palm of the hand and throw
it at the top on the ground. If the top
is missed the spinner loses and must
place his top on the ground.
The game ends when the top on the
ground is knocked behind a line pre-,
voiusly agreed upon. Then all the
rest of the players have the right to
strike the top Of the loser by taking
their tops firmly in their hands and
stabbing the losers top with the spikes
of their own. Their number of stabs
usually about six, is agreed upon pre-
Viously.
