Rolling the bones" is the Oldest
game in the world.
1t is probably the first game ever
played by mankind.
Our antediluvian ancestors-most
likely the original Thinker-first
dimly realized the Joyous possibili-
ties of rollin' the bones, and began
tossing the astragalus-or knuckle
bones of animals.
These natural bones from the ankle
OF sheep, or some other such size
animal, are undoubtedly the direct
ancestors of the cubical dotted die.
And dice are the oldest gaming OBJ
jects ever uncovered from the pre-
historic past. They were used in
India thousands Of years B. c. They
were probably one of the couples
saved by Noah from the deluge.
1t is interesting to note that the
arrangement of the dots on the sur
Arizona republican., 1922-01-04

face of the die-the sum of the op-
posite sides totalling seven--is the
same among practically all peoples
since antiquity. Only the Corean
and Etruscan dice vary slightly.
All of our ancient games are con-
nected with dice-even chess.
Dominoes, or bone tablets, were in
vented by the Chinese from dice,
and from dominoes came our mod
ern card games.
1t may be well for the prospective
crap shooter to remember that the
word dice is the plural of die and
is derived from the Latin word
dare-meaning to give; and that a
pair of loaded dice were dug up In
the ruins of Pompeii-proving con-
clusively that the hazard of the die"
is not new institution.
There are thirty-six different
throws possible with the frisky pills.

What kind of a contract would
Roger Peckinpaugh consider inter.
esting?
A contract calling for the same SAL
airy he got at New York. plus an
amount equal to the losers share of
the 1921 world series.
That IL substance IS his viewpoint
or the trade that takes him away
from an almost certain peaant WIN
ner to a second division ball club.
Peckinpaugh has nothing against
Boston. In fact. he likes the city and
its fans. Filthy lucre is the real
issue.

CLEVELAND-Ys Roger Peckin-

York to Boston?
Roger Peckinraugh is not pleased.
Why would Roger Peckinpaugh
much rather play with New York next
season?
Because Roger Peckinpaugh feels
that New York vii! win the Areri-

the Boston Red Sox next summer?
