EVER PLAY ROOUE?

Personal equipment consists OF a

headed mallet a ball and sanguine
disposition 10 help the illusion that
one is having a deuce of a time.
Rogue is played on level ground
from which the sod has been peeled.
Wickets are the same as those used
incroquet only narrower. The object
is 70 soque your ball through the wick
cts and keep the other fellow from
doing likewise.
The game has its Ty Cobbs and
Hans Wagners. Also its "Deadwood
Dicks" Judging from some OF the
fancy poques which every grandfath-
Ell makes when forced 10 do so.
After particularly good play. like
a home run or base on balls. the
fortunate one emits a cackle of con
tent while the opposition player
croques dismally.
This is the roofing limit. which is
another reason why the game never
became our national pastime. The
American temperament requires an
explosion point

The demand for a national sport

the call until baseball pulled itself up

country.
Croquet today is played by summer

players is limited Rogue is almost as
