    "Five Stones"
    13-5-38 Here is the way to play five stones. Get four stones and then one a bit bigger. Then put the four small st on the path and then the bigger one in the middle. Then throw a small (stone that is) ball at the stones and if the ball hits a small stone that is five points and the bigger stone counts ten points. Whoever gets 100 or any other number wins the game. The boys in Dalkey (pa) play the game all through the year.
