BALL GAMES
_4 to 20 players._
_Playground; gymnasium._
_Hand ball or substitute._
A row of caps is set against a wall or fence, or a series of holes dug
in the ground. At a point ten or twenty feet from these all of the
players stand, and one selected as thrower throws a ball into one of
the caps or holes. Any substitute may be used for a ball, such as a
small block of wood or a stone. Should he miss, he repeats the throw
until he succeeds. As soon as a ball lands in a cap, the owner of the
cap runs away, and all of the others chase him until caught.
It will be seen that this game may best be played where there is
opportunity for considerable dodging around and behind obstacles. The
player being chased is exempt if he can get back to his own cap before
being caught by the others. If caught, however, he becomes thrower for
the next round; otherwise the first thrower continues in that
position.
In a gymnasium a series of circles may be drawn on the floor in place
of the holes or caps, and a bean bag tossed into them.
