Yes, it is spring and it is top season.
School boys spin tops at every corner, but
the police don't care. Police do care,
however, about rev game Of top that
is being played on the bars of the dry
drink parlors and cigar stores. To be
sure the top is somewhat different from
the kind the school boys use and spin
with string.
The adults came is played With small
wooden eight sided top, pointed at the
bottom. 1t 5 spun with the fingers. 1t
doesn't spin long, that would, slow the
game too much.
On one side Of the top is a star and
should the top fall with the star up, he
who spins takes all the money off the
counter. There is only one chance in
eight of getting all the money. The
other sides Of the top carry figures and
letters. For example, If the top stops
spinning and falls with '3 p" uP and
you are playing % cents q spin the spin
ner puts IN three 25-cent pieces. But If

stops and falls with a T." he takes out
four 25-cent pieces.

sport recalling boyhoOd days, and any
way If the police should be so rude as to
make an arrest the little top would not
