ANCIENT GAME
OF BOCCE Gets
START IN U. S.
Little Italy" in Memphis
ReviveS Billiard
Bowling
BY BROOKS SMITH

United Press Staff Correspondent.
| Memphis, Tenn. (U.P.)-Amer-
lea has its baseball and England
it's cricket. but for the residents Of
Little Italy" in Memphis there is
another sport which requires the
skill of a billiard player, and car
ries a thrill peculiar to these peo-
pie.
This game, played here every
Sunday by Italians, is called bocce.
Pronounced "bochi" the accent
on the first syllable, bocce was
probably an old game when Caesar
Borgia lived in Rome.
Bocce is game for old and
young. Men who have grown fat
play bocce and never tire. The
women love to play and are very
emotional about their success or
| failure.
Played On Alley
The game resembles bowling
with the hundred foot bocce al
leys being lined with Lombardy
poplars. The alleys are about ten
feet wide. The player throws a
ball. which is slightly larger than
a croquet ball, and the object is
to put two of them as close as
possible to the small taw ball.
The first player throws. The
ball whizzes down the alley,
strikes the boundary fence and ca
roms across to lie snugly against
the ."pallino" or little ball.
bella boccia" calls his partner
in delight. 1t is good shot.
A man who was born near the
Grand Canal in Venice throws
next. He carefully weighs the
dark brown ball, shifts the
crooked little cigar in his mouth,
runs a few steps and throws.
Expert Placement Made
Even an amateur would admire
such a throw. 1t descends upon
that of his opponent and with the
proper amount of backspin falls
dead near the pallino while the
bella boccia" of few minutes
ago has rolled ten feet away. Few
players could make such a shot
and the spectators are wild with
delight.
Leaving the bocce alleys. there
is another game to watch which
Italians play on Sunday after
moons. There is no name, for this
game and is simply known as
rolling the cheese.
A fine Italian "pecorino" cheese
weighing 16 pounds-> is carefully
taped and then sent spinning down
a grassy fairway about 10 feet
wide. A quick wrist motion is the
secret of getting distance on the
throw.
Many of the players can roll the
16-pound cheese 400 feet. OF
course, If it hits fence post or
stump the cheese will burst, but
then most of 1t can still be SAL
vaged for the feast which comes
later in the afternoon.
When the games are over every
one retires to the shade of a grape
arbor for refreshments of beer and
pecorino cheese-made from sheep
milk.
Then conversation, made famous
