Nezcsies Play Skellies After
Editions; Beats Golf or CrOquet

Ten separated squares are chalked
out on the wide paving and num-
bered. Each player has a pop bottle
top which he f1ips along the pavement
from No. to 10, and then back. In
that it resembles golf. There are
traps, too, two squares on each side
of No. 10, and If a top stops there the
unlucky player must beg all over.
The death holes are called "Skellies,
and it IS part Of the game to knock
opponents into them.
"Roundsums" and hitting another
bottle top for another shot showed
that the inventor had played marbles.
After making the 20-hole course sue
cessfully, player shoots into 'Skel-
lies" and becomes a free rover and
any one he hits is out for good.
Tony, Junior, Phil and Able, the
four youths in this particular game,
said Some south side guys" made
it up.

 There were flamboyant notices to
 the effect that Eastern Football | Here and Childhood Sweethearts of Virginia Winston. Beautiful Moving 1 Picture Actress. Savts Her From l Death" etc

 What did you meang" he pursued tantalizingly. I did not answer.

 That will be splendid Virginia. It's so nice of you, too, Eddie I am
 sure you'll both enjoy it." she said
 with a twinkle in her eye. Then she added, Find nice quiet place for
 dinner, and don't keep Virginia out too long in the evening air, laddie."
 The sun was dipping lower and
 lower toward the hilltops as the mo tor purred into the mountains. A
 restful feeling of peace and content settled over me. I leaned back and
 studied the splendid young figure sit- ting beside me in the motor As my eyes roamed over his superb, supple body and fingered on his well chis- l e1ed profile. I thought of piece of statuary I had admired in the local art gallery. It was "The Discus Thrower."

 That will be splendid" I ex- claimed enthusiastically under the spell of the beauty and the compan- ionship of Eddie. Eddie entered to arrange for din- ner. There were apparently few guests at this hour. One other car was parked along the roadside. Let's take a walk, virgie," pro- posed Eddie as he came back to
