Show THE GAME OF D ARN DOOR OOLF. While fow ot our boys are golfers, a great many ot thorn are very expert at tha cmo of "cat," or "two-old-cat," as It la sometimes callod. It takes at least two boya to play "eat" with any sort ot fun, but a player can have a lot ot sport going around tbo golf links by himself, for ho can alwaya try to beat hla own score. Thoro la a splendid combination of theso two game which ono follow can play all alone, and enjoy It a lot, although al-though two player mako It oven more fun. All you need for tho gamo Is your "cat" and your bat and a barn door or ...C .ifc1, m a aldo ot a building again. t which you may knock It without any danger ot breaking a window. Measure off ten feet from tbt bam door and dig a llttlo holo as wide and jleop aa tho length of your "cat." Now draw a circle two feet In diameter around tho bale and you are ready to play, Placo tho oat within In tbo circle, bounce up In tbe air as usual, and then bat It against the door, your object ob-ject being to have It bounce back and fall In tbo llttlo hole, or at least la tha circle. It It doo not do either you bat It again against tho door, using a little more Judgment It you miss this time, keep at It until the cat falls within tho circle or lards in tho hole. It tho "cat" falls In tho holo you scoro ten; If only In tho circle you score Are, but )ou subtract from theso urns tho number nf drives you had to make beforo you surccoded. For Instance, In-stance, If your cat should land In tbo ctrclo tho first drlvo you mako you tcoro five, but If you should mako three drlvea before tho ono which land! tho cat In tho circle, then you subtract tbroo from tho flvo and scoro only two points. When two aro playing, each one haa an Inning. Just aa In baseball, A player may havo flvo tries at driving his cat against tho door; then, tt ho Wif, ha not landed In tbe holo or tho clr- ' ,lMi de, be Is "out," and tbe othor player f take his turn. A player scores aa . Si many "runs" as the flvo or ten count- ' tHi J ed by tbo circle or bole oxecod the MB. number of drlvo he bas mado In that nil Inning. When ho has scored by land- jlin1 Ing bis cat In tho clrclo bo Is "out," Mi and tho othor player la "In;" but It M ho acorca by landing In tbo holo ha mm hai another "Inning" In addition to K tbo points ho scores. jB One ot tho very belt thing about WM the garao la that a boy can play It jB nlono, and, a In ,'cal golf, get a lot (9 ot tun out of trying to beat hi own JH belt previous two.
