Nipsy - Cut notches, put one notch in, turn it 1/5 diameter to put in as many as you could get in four or five notches. Whatever notch comes in, you have to make it in one jump, from where it lands to where you betted it. The other fellow jumps and has to make it back to the betting place in the number of jumps indicated by the notches. Girls seldom played it, it was a boy's game, except tom boys. Started to play "from time able to run" Stopped playing once big enough to start baseball at ten or eleven. Nipsy was a small boy's game.

House back of Surgent's.

Davy Thomas Joe Goodwall
foreman stable boss

There was a single home across street from this house, where Dave Ellis ("Chow Chow") lived. A mean old man and his wife dried vegetables to put in the chowchow and hung upon the line to dry. He got mad and shot them off. Mean stable boss - always had a stick. In the morning had to clean mules. If he found dust on the back of the mules, he would raise hell. He was mean like that.

House: Like Max Marmello, about the same. Three rooms, down, two up. Had attic, but wasn't used, not finished.
