upon it. The players in each court will naturally scatter to be ready
to receive the ball. Players will use in this game many points of
tennis, such as sending the ball into the opponents' territory with a
long glancing stroke, which may make it bound unexpectedly toward the
rear of the opponents' court; or on the contrary, with a small bound
that shall just barely cross the line. A ball going out of bounds is
out of play, and must be returned to the server unless it should
rebound in the court for which it was intended, when it should still
be considered in play.

SCORE.--The score is entirely for a defensive game, being wholly on
the opponents' failures. If desired, the score may be the same as in
tennis, but is generally as follows:--

One point is scored for (_a_) failure to strike the ball as directed
(from above with the open palm); (_b_) failure to bound the ball
before sending it into the opponents' ground; (_c_) failure to return
a good serve or play.

BOWL BALL

(See _Center Club Bowls_, _Circle Club Bowls_, and _Line Club Bowls_.)

CALL BALL

(See also _Ring Call Ball_, _Ball Stand_, and _Spud_.)

_10 to 30 or more players._

_Playground; gymnasium._

_Hand ball._

The players are numbered and scatter promiscuously over the playground
or gymnasium. One tosses a ball, at the same time calling the number
of some other player. This player must run forward and catch the ball
before it has bounded more than once. Any player who is successful in
this takes the place of the first tosser. Any player who fails rejoins
the others, but three failures put him out of the game. For large
numbers it is well to have two balls, tossed by two different players.

The one who is tossing the ball will add much to the interest of the
game by calling the names of players who are at a considerable
distance from the ball, or for any other reason may have a
particularly difficult task in reaching the ball in time; or he may
take them unaware, as by calling the same name twice in succession,
etc. There is no limit to the number of times a player may be called.

CAPTAIN BALL

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 varia
