“Occasionally a “smart aleck” would produce a steel ball-bearing and endeavour to split up the “glassies” and “agates” in the ring. If he was a small kid, the players would demand immediate relief under the “no ball bearings” rule, and expel him from the game. If he was one of the big kids there was no relief, except that of risking an uneven fist fight, and possible doses of the strap if the Brothers intervened.”
