The players divide into two parties and take their places in one large
circle, the players of one party alternating with those of the other.
There should be five or six feet of space between each two players.
Each player is provided with an Indian club.
The players of one party distinguish themselves and their clubs in
some way, as by tying a handkerchief around the arm and club.
The players, having taken their places in the circle, place each his
own club on the floor behind him at a distance of two or three feet.
The object of the game is to knock over the opponents' clubs by
rolling the ball on the floor, and naturally to protect one's own
clubs. Any player may start the game.
While the main form of play for the ball is to roll it, it is
permissible to bound the ball from one player to another, and also
permissible to knock over a club with a ball that bounds instead of
rolling. It is not permissible to toss a ball from one player to
another, or to dislodge a club by a toss unless the ball should hit
the floor and bound before it hits the club.
Whenever a club is dislodged, the owner of the club must set it up
again at once; if he also has the ball, he must set up the club before
putting the ball again into play.
A point is scored by one party whenever one of the opponents' clubs is
dislodged, whether it be knocked over by a ball or by its owner. The
side wins which first makes a score of forty-nine points.
The game may also be played with two balls at once, and this is always
desirable for as many as twenty players.
