To Felicia's just after Al Richter left, to go to "Arts &
Crafts Show".
Bradford E. Bailey came with his wife and some thirty boxes
with games, puzzles, novelties, etc., although in some cases
there were several different versions of the same item. In
general his models were attractive and imaginative but the
play was weak. We looked at, or discussed the following: he
divided them into categories as shown in parenthesis:
CLIFF CLIMB RACE (Action) Two vertical pcs. of plastic mounted with
a space between. Holes are placed in the two in matching
positions. A flat object is used for pushing a marble up to one
of the holes, the higher the more it scores. When a player
enters one of his marbles, that space is taken.
BARRAGE BALL (Action) A plastic container
with cross section somewhat as shown.

[Diagram of an irregular hexagon with openings on the 2 bottom corners. The inner space is subdived into two equal areas connected by a gap. There appears to be a marble at the bottom left.]

There are 2 balls on each side at the
start and the object is to get all 4 to
the opponent's side. The balls are struck
with a flat object at the opening (as shown).
The hole in the center is round and there are two sizes
with a movable cover so that only one is open. (Felicia kept this.)
BEAT UP AND SCORE (Action)
