STEALING STICKS.
A GOOD GAME,
(Sent in by Jessie Meiklc, Astlcy Avenue, New Lynn.)
The playground for this jolly game is divided into two equal parts, and the players into two equal sides. Each side has its own large goal at the rear end of its own plot of ground. Each side lays down six sticks inside the goal. Every player tries to reach the enemy's goal and steal one stick. The enemy may tag her while she is running towards the goal, but may not touch her while she is running back. If she is caught she is put as a prisoner inside the enemy's goal. She must . stay there until she is tagged by one of her own side. A side may not pick up any sticks until its own prisoner has been freed. The side that gains all the sticks wins.
