This was an action brought by a minor, a boy of eleven years of age, joined by his next friend, against the owner of a motor vehicle for damages resulting from personal injuries received by the boy when he ran in front of the moving motor vehicle on a public street to retrieve a base ball with which he and other boys were playing. From a judgment in favor of the plaintiff Writ of Error is brought to this Court.
A plea of contributory negligence was interposed and amply sustained by the proof.
