Supreme Court, Appellate Term, Second Department,
April 8, 1970.
Julius Diamond and Elliot Berman for appellant. Monroe Y. Mann for respondent.

Opinion:
Per Curiam.
In short, when an infant participates with adults in a sport ordinarily played by adults, on a course or field ordinarily used by adults for that sport, and commits a primary tortious act, he should be held to the same standard of care as the adult participants (see Dellwo v. Pearson, 259 Minn. 452; Ewing v. Biddle, 216 N. E. 2d 863 [Ind.j; Restatement, Torts 2d, § 283A, Comment c).
The order should be affirmed, without costs, on the opinion of the court below (58 Misc 2d 128).
