A GAME TO PLAY

You may have tried this game before, but it's certainly worth remembering while the beaches are our playground. Chalk out a great big circle on tho sand, and mark off the hours just as on a clock at equal spaces round. Put a tiny chalk circle in the centre. Then one' player starts off at 1 o'clock. He places the ball on this number, and then knocks it with his stick into the small circle in the centre. He will be very lucky if he can do it in one shot. Anyway, he kcops knocking it again and again vi.m he 'locs get it in, the other player i..1.it:.., senre of how many times he hits the bail. Then the next player hits from 1 o'clock into the centre, and takes iiis scon:, then the next, player, until nil have had their turn. TVn you start from .2 o'clock. The i.;.;yer who scored tho least number of points at 1 o'clock begins play this time. And so the game is played right round the clock, the winner of each o 'clock taking lead in the next hour. If you are playing on grass or sand it will be a splendid idea to scoop a hole in the centre of the clock and get the ball into that.
