| Data | That “tut-ball” and other spring games were being played by children on Shrove Tuesday despite snowy and freezing weather was praised in a Sheffield, Yorkshire, newspaper column entitled “Spectator in Hallamshire.” After mentioning that in days of old the typical holiday sports were violent ones such as foot-ball and cock-fighting, he wrote: “To this have succeeded in our day the innocent shuttlecock and tut-ball, and the law of habit seems like a law of nature, the boys and girls being as sure to resort to the usual games as the early lambs are to be seen beside their dams.” |
