Hal LewisI see it, Scott...
and it looks sort of like the "trap" that Block describes when discussing "trap ball."
One could place a ball on one end of the stick... and then stomp his foot down on the other end of the stick...using the stump as a fulcrum...
and the ball pops straight up to him for him to hit.
Or were you thinking of some other game in the book?
