_10 to 60 players._

_Gas Ball._

The players are evenly divided into two teams. One team takes its
place around the outer edge of the room; the players of the other team
scatter through the aisles or seats, which latter should be turned up
if possible. The outer team tries to hit the inner team with the ball,
any player so hit taking his place in the outer team and joining in
its play. The player who remains longest in the center is considered
to have won.

Only a hit from a ball on the fly counts. A hit from a bounce does not
put a player out. If a ball touches any part of the clothing or
person, it is considered a hit. If two players are hit by the same
throw, only the first one hit is considered out. Players may dodge the
ball in any way. The ball is returned to the circle players by a toss
from one of the inner team, should it be out of reach of any player of
the circle team.

If desired, the hit players may leave the game instead of joining the
outer circle. This leaves the teams intact, and each then keeps a
separate score.

If successive games be played, the teams change places, the inner
players going to the circle, and _vice versa_. The game may then be
played in innings if desired, each team to be given three minutes in
the circle. One point is then scored against a team while in the
center for every player hit, and the team wins which has the smallest
score at the end.
