ponents. In the next inning or round the balls may follow in the
opposite direction (to the left).

RULES AND POINTS OF PLAY.--Players may lunge or "fall out" when
tossing or catching, if one foot be left without the boundary.

Players may stoop or jump to catch a low or high ball, but may not
advance beyond the boundary.

One or both hands may be used in tossing or catching.

A dropped ball is returned to play by the referee, who tosses it to
the captain.

If a captain drops a ball or bag three times, he changes places with
Number One player of his team; this captain, failing three times,
changes with Number Two, and so on.

Every ball dropped scores for the opponents, as stated under "Score."

An opponent may interfere, but with one hand only.

FOULS.--It is a foul--

_a._ To use the arms in any way to interfere with a player who does
not hold the ball.

_b._ To grasp the clothing or person of an opponent.

_c._ To use both hands for interfering.

_d._ To drop the ball.

_e._ To send the ball afield.

All fouls are penalized by the opponents' scoring one point, except
for a ball that goes afield (outside the boundaries): that scores two
points for the opponents. A ball dropped inside the boundaries scores
one point for opponents.

SCORE.--A ball which "overtakes" (passes) the opponents' ball scores
five points.

The ball that first makes the circuit and gets back to Number One
player of its team, or "home," scores two points.

Fouls score one point for the opponent, except when a ball goes
afield, which scores two points for the opponents.

The game is won on a score of ten points.

Basket ball._

Any number of teams may compete, but should contain an equal number of
players. The teams line up in single file, and the game consists in a
competition between them in passing a basket ball backward overhead,
followed by a short run for each player in turn.

A starting line is drawn across the playing space, behind which the
teams line up. The players in a team must not stand close enough
together
