in from the center.

SCORE.--One point is scored for a team every time a baseman catches
the ball from another baseman of the same team.

Two points are scored for a team every time its captain makes a fair
catch, whether the ball has gone around his circle or not, and whether
the ball was thrown by one of his basemen or one of his guards on the
opposite side of the field. Three points are scored if the ball
reaches two different basemen and the captain successively, whether in
regular rotation around the circle or not.

Four points are scored if the ball reaches three different basemen
and the captain successively, whether in regular rotation around the
circle or not. Five points are scored whenever the ball passes
entirely around the circle on one side, in regular rotation of
basemen, whether the start and finish of that circle be with the
captain or some other baseman. Each foul scores one for the opposing
team, as described under "Fouls." After the captain catches the ball,
no further points may be scored on it in that play and it then goes
back to the center to be put again in play.

CAPTAIN BALL--III

_20 to 40 players._

_Playground; gymnasium._

_Basket ball; volley ball._

This form of Captain Ball is the most strenuous of any, as
freer mass play is encouraged among the guards, and there are
fewer restrictions in the form of play, batting and hitting the
ball being allowed, which are fouls in other forms of the game.
The method of punishing fouls is optional and should be
determined before the game begins. The ground is divided
somewhat differently than in other forms of the game, by a
neutral space between the two fields, where the ball is tossed
for sides. The ball scores both for completing a circle and
being caught by a captain, but not for catching from one
baseman to another, as in II. The captain is stationed in the
center instead of in the circumference of the circle, as in I
and II.

GROUND.--The ground is divided into two equal parts by a neutral strip
about three feet wide through the center. In each half are marked five
or more bases in the form of small circles from two to five feet in
diameter (or rectangles), outlining part of a large circle or square
open toward the center. In the center of each half is marked a small
circle or base for the captain. The interest of the game may be
enhanced by placing a springboar
