Does anyone out there remember all the steps involved in a game called “Russian”????

Also, I remember Chinese Handball too (and Saludgee…sp?)- also, in Queens in the mid-60’s played on the street against apt.retention walls….

We played a game called Box Baseball. You would play with another person between 3 boxes. Someone would dig their fingers into the “pinkie” or spaldeen and throw it into the box in front of you. You then would slap it into the box in fron of you opponent. If he caught it, you’re out. If it bounced once, a sindle 2 bounces, a double, etc. Great game to play anywhere there was concrete sidewalks. Anybody remember this game?

I can picture a brand new spaldeen vividly today, almost smell it. What a great feeling to go to the local “candy store” and buy a new spaldeen. Always preferable to a pensy pinky, which were also good.We used spaldeens in stickball, punchball, fungo, slapball, A’s-up,stoopball, and different “box games”-boxball, box baseball, five boxes, hit the penny, etc., in Bayside, Queens. As far as Johnny Pump goes, it brings to mind the old game “Johnny on the Pony”. I would love to buy some spaldeens, if there is a place to order them, I’d like to know.
