Chapbook: Trap Ball and Cricket and Windows Don't Mix

Salience Noteworthy

Text

Sports for All Seasons [New York, T. W. Strong],

The problem: "Trap ball and Cricket are juvenile Field Sports, and not fit to be played near the houses . . . where it generally ends in the ball going through a window." The solution: "[A]fter having their pocket money stopped for some time to replace the glass they had broken, they pitched their traps and wickets in a more suitable place."
