Everyone Loves Hedgehogs
Croquet! Dynamic sport
first added to Olympic competition
in 1900, then immediately dropped.
Played in Paris, where at least
someone knew how to pronounce
its name correctly. Sad to say,
there was but one spectator, far
outnumbered by participants
(and being British he undoubtedly
called it “Crokey.”) Pity: how
to rev up interest? Bring out the
regulation hedgehogs and flamingos!
