game and has its tournaments and
champions.
Horseshoe pitching proper, as fur as
we can learn, Is a purely American
game. Should you desire to take 1t up,
in order to get your mind in tune with
the administration, we here give a
brief summary Of the rules as pro
mulgated by no less an authority than
the Grand League Of American horse
shoe pitchers. .r
1t Is decreed by this organization
that the pegs shall be thirty-eight and
one-half feet apart. Each Of them
must be thirty inches long and must
project nine inches above the ground.
and the pegs should incline toward
each other to the extent Of one inch
from the perpendicular. Yellow clay
dug up to the depth Of six inches,
and wet enough to prevent a shoe
from slipping or bouncing, should
surround the peg on all sides. The
pitchers box includes all the territory
for three feet On either side Of the
pegs and six feet behind II. The shoes
which are pitched must not be more
than seven and one-fourth inches long,
six and three-Quarters inches between
the heel cauiks, and each shoe must
weigh not more than two pounds. Ave
ounces. In a first class game, unless
the shoe lies within six inches Of the
peg It does not count anything. The
closest shoe counts one point, and II
both shoes are closer than either Of
the opponents shoes, it counts two
points. A ringer counts FIVE points If
your shoe lands right side up and
three points II It turns over. OF
course. ringer does not count If your
opponent knocks it off the peg.
The friends Of the game claim that
It is the friendliest contest possible.
They say men who play quoits to-
gether never have any serious dis
putes. They also say that the exer-
else it affords is excellent, especially
for elderly men. The bending to pick
up the shoes is especially salubrious.
It can be played by all ages and both
sexes, and anywhere that you can find
fifty Or sixty feet Of level ground. AT
the same time. high degree Of skill
is possible. If you can pitch a shoe
weighing more than two pounds and
make 1t ring q stake nearly forty feet
away, you have good nerves and a
good eye. The horseshoe pitcher In
the White House is said to have both.
