Black ManThis is rather rough. A line is drawn at each end of the playing place
and one player is told off to stand between these lines. The object of
the others is to run across, from base to base, without being caught
by him: being caught meaning not merely being touched, as in "It," but
being really held and stopped. Each one that is caught has to stay in
the middle to help catch the others, until no one is left to run
across at all.
The player in the middle calls out to the crowd of players, "What'll
you do when the black man comes?" and they answer,
"Run right through
And never mind you."
This is the signal to begin each rush across from one line to the
other.
