Text | In cat-and-dog, two holes are cut at a distance of thirteen years. At each hole stands a player with a club, called a "dog." [. . . ] His object is to keep the cat out of the hole. "If the cat be struck, he who strikes it changes places with the person who holds the other club, and as often as the postiioins are changed one is counted as won in the game by the two who hold the clubs. Jamieson, Scotch Dictionary (Edinburgh, 1841). As cited in A.G. Steel and R. H. Lyttelton, Cricket, (Longmans Green, London, 1890) 4th edition, page 4. Note: That's it? Are any other games defined, maybe, by Jamieson? Detail provided by John Thorn, email of 2/10/2008. |
