Since the Boomerang with which Brist isplayed cuts a circle of from thirty to one hun-dred feet in diameter, the Brist grounds shouldbe from forty to one hundred feet square. Ifyou have ample room, scoring circles may belocated in the center of ground selected. Ifroom is limited, note carefully the instructionsfor throwing the Boomerang, and locate scoring-circles accordingly.
