   partners will try and get the holes while the other is trying to balk the rest from getting into them.
   Then there another ways of playing it. This is called a game of "run the holes" Well say that three boys are playing the game, and one of them fires and gest into the hole/ Then he fires for the second hole and if he gets that one he fires for the third one and so on. Whoever gets the holes first winds the game.
   Men often play this game too. There was one summer in the Parish of Glynn and there was no other game played. Of course, it is a very interesting game when a person gets to know it well.
