    (I went down to Kennys the)
    I saw Jim Corbett playing two spoons. He put the backs of them together and he would put one finger in between them and keep playing them.
    My father told me at the way they used to make a handball was they used to get a wind ball and get three ball-bearings and they used to put them into the ball and they used get wool and put it around the ball and put cord around the wool and sew leather on around the cord and the ball was very hard.
