tifue shooting, the player must knock out a marble and make his shooter stick in the ring. After a miss, the player picks up his shooter and waits until his next turn. Then he may take “rounders” and shoot from any point of the ring line. PLAYING REGULATIONS—Mar{bles knocked out of the ring shall be picked up by the player who knocks them out.

Whenever a marble of shooter comes to rest on the ring line, figure | it this way: If the center is out- | side the ring, then the marble is outside and if the center is inside, | then the marble is inside. If a shooter knocks out two or)

{the player shall be entitled to ali] | points on the shot. | “Slips” are allowed when the | shooter slips from the player's hand | provided he calls “slips” and the | shooter doesn’t travel more than [10 inches.
