Description	a game defined in the OED as “a game similar to Rounders in which a ball is hit with the flat of the hand.” The game is mainly associated with the English North Country, and is said to feature three or four ‘hobs,’ or stopping-places. The first cited use appeared in 1796. Gomme adds that if the batter-runner is hit before reaching on of the “tuts” he is “said to be burnt, or out.
