Description	The old-fashioned games of three-cornered cat, round town ball, long town ball, hat ball, baseball and many others were played by the boys. Hat ball was a very brutal game. The victim was placed with his face to the wall while the other boys were allowed so many throws at him. The suspense under which the victim was while waiting for the ball to strike was telling.
