   Tom Cahill and myself went out to play a game of Skittles. We set the game for twenty, we brought out five small skittles and three long ones and we set them out. I said, "first hand" then I threw my skittles and knocked five and four that was nine. Tom threw and knocked the three middle ones and got ten. I threw again and knocked two and three but the last one was short so I got nothing for that throw. Tom knocked five and four this time and that was 19. He had now only one to get for game.
