"That lad will come to .no good if he is not straightened up or his mother doesn't do it" commented the fagistrate, who gave a tongue-lashing to the boy for his conduct and criticised the boy's mother for her attitude in court. The boy testified that he 'aad been playing ball on the lot next to Cooke's house and that Cooke, last watching the game, began . to tease the players as to who would win. The lad admitted calling Cooke "dirty names." As he turned to run away he said, Cooke threw a piece of wood at him, leaving a cut which. had to be stitched. He ~said he had been asked to stay away from three properties on the street because of his language. Mr. Cooke related that he and the neighbors had "chipped in" to prepare a place for the child- ren toplay. He had cut the grass and built the backstop for them. He had been sitting beside his truck and was called some foul names It was then that he threw the stick.
