Tipcat (Game)

Mr. John Tom Rutter playing tipcat, or catty, in the garden of his home, Gunnerside ( Swaledale). The game is played with a small stick, sharpened at both ends like a pencil. The stick is placed on the ground, and one of the pointed ends hit with another stick to make it jump. Once in the air, the pointed stick is hit as far as possible. Mr. Rutter demonstrates the game using his walking stick to hit the tipcat.
