By Dan Beard

Hat Ball is a variation of Rolly Poly, the difference being that in place of holes in the ground each player places his hat on the sidewalk or play-ground in the same order in which the holes in the other game are arranged. Of course it is evident that the ball cannot be rolled into the hats, and the boy who has the ball tosses it in one of the hats. All the boys scatter except the one whose hat contains the ball. Five "babies" put a boy out and condemn him to the penalty prescribed in Rolly Poly.
