Captain Ball is one of the best and most popular games for both
children and adults, boys and girls. It is one of the most
useful forms of games for the period when pupils are beginning
to enjoy organization, as it calls for comparatively simple,
though pronounced, team work.

There are many variations in Captain Ball, the differences
being in (1) the plan of laying out the ground, and
consequently the relative position of players; (2) the points
of play that score; and (3) the rules restricting the players.
While almost any rules of play or points of scoring may be used
on almost any plan of ground, certain methods of play seem to
have grown out of, and naturally to belong to, certain
diagrams. An umpire, referee, and scorer are desirable in any
form of the game, but _not absolutely necessary_ except for
match games.

Six distinct forms of Captain Ball are here presented, Captain
Ball I, II, III; Emperor Ball (IV); Progressive Captain Ball
(V) (a new form of the game originated by Miss Cora B. Clark of
New York); also a schoolroom adaptation, Schoolroom Captain
Ball (VI). Some forms which offer minor variations have been
omitted in favor of these, which form distinct types. The games
are grouped in this place to facilitate comparison.
