“Tutball” was among the games played at a big party given to honor Henry Wilkerson, a local industrialist, by his employees who held him in very high regard, if you believe what the newspaper story had to say. “The presentation concluded, the party spread themselves in groups over the park, and engaged in cricket, football, dancing, tutball, and other amusements, until shortly after three, when they were summoned to a substantial dinner.
