| Data | “Tut-ball” was referenced in a newspaper piece describing a day's cricket outing by members of the Sheffield Corporation (city council) in which the writer defended the virtues of men playing ball. “They entered into the game heartily,” he wrote, “not as scientific cricketers, but mainly we suppose for a day's recreation, in the pursuit of which they would no doubt have found a similar amount of enjoyment in the less dignified pastimes of “tut-ball' or 'kiss-in-the-ring;' thus proving that the spirit of juvenility remains with man throughout his life.” |
