Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Games of Lawn Hockey, Tether Ball, Golf-Croquet, Hand Tennis, Volley Ball, Hand Polo, Wicket Polo, Laws of Badminton, Drawing Room Hockey, Garden Hockey
The outfit is comparatively inexpensive. A stick and ball are all that is absolutely needed. Two stones at each end of the field may do duty as goal posts, if nothing better can be found. Shin guards and gloves add to one's comfort, although many players find little use for gloves.
The principles of the game are easily mastered. The four points to remember are: Hit the ball toward your opponents' goal; don't raise your stick higher than your head strike from right to left and you'll always be on side.
