A unique tournament was staged on
the Rosedale Fairgrounds recently
upon the suggestion Of the director,
Daisy Robson. 1t was a jack stones
tourney, involving the well known
game of Ball and Jacks" which has
delighted the hearts Of small girls
from time immemerial.
Twenty girls were entered In the
event, divided into five groups of four
each. They played through 10 scores,
which meant that the winners had to
manipulate 10 jacks and ball at one
time in order to gain a perfect score.
Jack stone fans know by experience
that this Is no easy feat.
Miss Robsion acted as official scorer.
The winners in each of the prelim-
mary groups played in the semi
finals and the two triumphant jack
jugglers in this event contested for
the title in the final match.
Mildred Hook was crowned queen
of the jack stones, winning over
Hazel Wolfe in the title match. Miss
Hook, Miss Wolfe, Mary Duncan and
Dorothy Violet were the semi-finalists.
This is the first known jack stones
tournament for girls, but, judging
from the enthusiasm displayed, 1t
will not be the last. Some wise
prophet has observed that perhaps in
the not too far distant future jack
stones Journeys will be rivaling the
marble championships which are now
sweeping the country on the high
crest of a popularity wave.
