HOUSE-PARTY AND COUNTRY-CLUB GAMES
The list of games offered under this heading is made with the
realization that the guests for such conditions may include
very young people and adults. No attempt is made to select
appropriate games for either, the choice being left for the
circumstances of any given occasion. While many of the games
are for indoors, most of them may be played out of doors, and a
few good chasing games for young people are included. An
especial effort has been made to secure for this list games
that utilize natural material, as leaves, grasses, trees,
stones, etc., and some snow games are given for winter days.
The so-called "quiet" games are not necessarily noiseless, but
are distinguished from active games by the players not moving
around.

GAMES FOR CHILDREN'S PARTIES
The games in this list are mainly for children from four to ten
or twelve years of age. They are suitable both for indoors and
the lawn. While most of them call for only a mild form of
exercise, a few of the more lively running games are included.
The so-called quiet games are not necessarily noiseless, but
are distinguished from active games in which the players move
around.

An especial effort has been made to secure for this list games
that utilize pebbles, shells, stones, holes dug in the earth,
and diagrams drawn on the sand. Many games are given requiring
but little activity and suited to hot days; but there are also
a number of good running and chasing games suitable for a hard
beach. Games are given for both young and older players.

APPENDIX
END BALL
This game, originated under the direction of Mr. William A.
Stecher, of Philadelphia, is probably the best game ever
devised for introducing players to some of the intricacies of
team work and advanced ball play.
The practice which it gives in throwing, catching, guarding,
scoring, the observance of rules, and attention to fouls, makes
it an admirable training for the more complicated games, and
should be used as a preparation for them.
The Girls' Branch of the Public Schools Athletic League of New
York City has officially adopted this game for this purpose in
elementary schools, where its use precedes Captain Ball or
other team games of similar type.
No competition for girls is allowed between public schools in
New York City. All competition is confined to the clubs of a
given school.
BALL.--The ball used in all match games shall be Spalding's Official
Basket Ball.
THE GROUND.--The ground is not invariable in dimensions. A space
measuring 30 x 30 feet is sufficient for the game, and the usual size,
though a larger space may be used for a very large number of players.
This space shall be outlined, and then divided across the center by a
straight line from side to side. At either end a narrow goal strip, 3
feet wide, shall be made by drawing a second line parallel to the end
line.
For all match games clubs should agree on the dimensions of the field,
and all preliminary practice should be on the same sized field.
