1) The object of the game is to strike the ball into a part of your opponent’s court in such a way that he cannot return it directly or on its first bound. It is a fault if the service is delivered from the wrong court, or if the ball served drops out of court, or goes into the wrong court. 2) A game, played with a bat-and-ball by two teams of nine players each, on a field with four bases. 3) A game, played by two or four persons, each with a small, hard rubber-cored ball. The aim is to take fewer strokes than an opponent does. You should hit a ball into a small hole. 4) A game is played on a board divided into 64 squares, on which the different (pawns, bishops, knights, castles, queens and kings) are moved. The board is placed so as to leave a white square at the right hand of the player. The aim is to capture a king. 5) A game is played on a field by two teams of eleven players each. The players kick the ball but they mustn’t touch it with their hands. 6) A table game for two players using 24 round pieces on a board with 32 black and 32 white squares. The first move is taken by agreement. It is compulsory upon the player to take all the pieces he can legally by the series of moves. On making a “king”, however, the latter remains on his square till a move has been made on the other side. 7) A game played on ice by two teams of six players each wearing skates and with sticks and a rubber disc (a puck). The players should hit a puck into a goal with a stick. They mustn’t use their hands. 8) A ball game played on a grass field by two teams of eleven players each, with bats and wickets. The players wear white shirts and white flannel trousers, and one player at a time tries to hit the ball with a bat. The batsman mustn’t touch the ball with his hands. 9) A game similar to basketball but the ball is not bounced on the ground. The players throw the ball to each other and the opposing team tries to intercept it. |
