_10 to 100 players._

_Playground; gymnasium._

_Any soft ball or bean bag._

This is a combination of Call Ball and Ball Tag, with scoring and
penalties added. It is very popular with boys of almost any age.

The players stand in a group, with one in the center holding the ball.
The center player drops the ball, at the same time calling the name of
one of the other players. All but the one called immediately scatter,
as they are liable to be tagged with the ball. The player called
secures the ball as quickly as possible, and tries to hit one of the
other players with it. He may not run to do this, but must stand where
he secured the ball. If he misses, he secures the ball, stands where
he gets it, and tries again, the other players fleeing from him as
before. If he hits a player, that one immediately secures the ball,
tries to hit some one else with it, the second one hit tries to hit a
third, and so on.

Whenever a player misses hitting another with the ball, it is called a
"spud," and counts one against him. When any player has three spuds
against him, he must stand twenty feet from the other players, with
his back to them, and they each have one shot at him with the ball.
The victim then starts the play again from the center of the ground.
