Carver's book copies the rules for rounders published in England's "The Boy's Own Book" (see #1828.1 entry, above). A line drawing of boys "Playing Ball" on Boston Common is included. David Block in &lt;u&gt;Baseball Before We Knew It&lt;/u&gt;, page 196-197, reports that this is the "first time that the name "base ball" was associated with a diamond-shaped infield configuration." As for the name of the game, Carver explains: "This game is known under a variety of names. It is sometimes called 'round ball.' But I believe that 'base' or 'goal ball' are the names generally adopted in our country." The bases are "stones or stakes." According to Carver, runners ran clockwise around the bases. &lt;b&gt;Note:&lt;/b&gt; Do we have other accounts of clockwise baserunning?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Carver's Chapter 3 is called "Games with Balls." In an introductory paragraph, he explains that "The games with the bat and ball are numerous, but somewhat similar. I will mention some of them, which I believe to be the most popular with boys." [Page 37.] Other games describes are Fives, Nine-Holes, or Hat-Ball [a game with running/plugging but no batting], Catch-Ball [also a running/plugging game], Rackets, and Cricket.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;u&gt;Carver, Robin, The Book of Sports&lt;/u&gt; [Boston, Lilly Wait Colman and Holden, 1834], pp 37-40.
