The two batters stood in front of the wickets facing each other. The two bowlers were just back of the batters, with the “wickels hotween them. Each bowler Had a ball and the object was to roll the ball on the ground aim- i];x to knock the opposite wicke pins. Thé batters were suppossd to intercept the hall before it struck :he wirket, znd knock it out into the field, awar from the wickets and bases. The two bhalls were_rolling’, simaltaneously . in_oppcsite directions and as each batter struck the ball coming toward his wicket they were supposed to change bases, which consti- tuted a run. The batters ‘wira on the inside. The bowlers on the opposing side. off the When a batter's wicket, was knocked down that put him out. ‘When all the batters on the in side were put out the opposing side took ‘thebats anl vice ver- lsa. The further the hatter could knock the ball the more runs they could make, back and forth from base to base, kut they had to watch out that the fieldsvs did not their send in a ball to knock ~down | wicket.

The bowlers were not allowed to leave their bhases, nor the hatters theirs excapt to chanze places. Of course the field~r could deliv- er the ball to either bowl:r who was then to roll it to the wicket at the op- posite base, as at the beginninz.
