MARBLE SHOOTERS SHOWING STRENGTH
Takes Considerable Muscle to
 Propel Agate

Measure your shootin' fingers, marb!e-shooters of New Britain, if you want to know just how good an agate-spnner you are. The United states government has made some official tests of typical marble play CTS based on Tca asuremelts of hum dreds of players. both champions and duhs, and now every boy can find out just how near he comes 10 having the perfect marble hand"
 A specially constructed platform was prepared 10 determine the ve- locity of the average players shot. The platform was erected on top of a sliding gauge rule, similar to the machines for measuring height.
 The boys forearm was held ri- gid so that not even culver of hunch would influence the machine and he shot straight up at the plat form.
 His average shot up in the air was G.56 feet, The rropelling power of tn" worlds most skillful knuckles was 2o.5o feet q second. Thus it takes the average shooter just q fourth of a second to fly from the ring line to the center of the marble ring where lie the mibs at which he aims in q marble game.
 That is one-fortielh as fast as a bullet goes from a 45 caIiber army revolver.
 The weight of the average aate is .lS5 ounce. It is .6l inch in diameter
 Other marble players may try measuring their straight-up shot to gauge the velocity Of their marble drives. The government experts have also worked out typical measure ments Of q marble shooters hand with which any shooter may com- pare his own.
 Those measurem ents were not taken from Champion Dominic Car telli, who is somewhat smaller but has better muscle control than the average shooter. They are the av- craze reached in series of special tests on many marble players.
 Measure yourself and see how you compare 10 the average:
 Forearm ........... 15.75 in. long First Finger ....,... 5.l in. long Finger Tip to first ..........
 knucklc ......... 1.65 in. long Thumb tip to first ........
 knncklc ........ .s7 in, long Muscle at base of .......
 thumb ,,......,.. ,S5 in long Hand .,............ 6,9 in. long Thumb ............. c.25 in. long First to second knuckle, ] .45 in long First finger muscle ,T"5 in. long
 This is Snookums. famous baby movie star, learning 10 roll his first game of Ringer, the official game for the National Marble Tourna- ment. Yes. Snookums Is just a lit- tie young to be marble champ and he doesn't understand as yet about the 1o-toot ring and the no-hunch- ing rule. But give him time! The marble tournament is open to Amer. lcan boys under Is. Some youngster will represent New Britain at the national finals in Atlantic City next June. The Herald will pay all ex- penses for the trip.
