““The books contain many cases involving injuries to workmen caused or occasioned by some sportive act of a fellow workman done by him independent of or disconnected from the performance of any duty of his employment, and characterized by the courts and law-writers as ‘practical joking,’ ‘skylarking,’ or ‘horseplay.’ With practical uniformity, the courts hold both under the English act and also under the various American statutes that an injury so suffered does not arise out of the employment within the mean ing of the governing statute, and consequently that its compensatory provisions are ■ not thereby invoked.””
