Cross Tag.
Dotted Lines Show Where a Boy Has Crossed Out the Lad, "It" is After.

This game is usually played on the ice by skaters, but it is also played during the summer on the streets or in the fields. "It" selects a victim and starts after him, but whenever another player crosses between "It" and the boy he is after, "It" chases the boy who crosses his path and no other unless another boy crosses out the second.

Then "It " again changes his pursuit. In this manner the boys continue to cross each other out until " It " succeeds in tagging one before a playmate can cross between him and his prey.
