“Tut-ball” was one of the pastimes enjoyed at the annual dinner held for the masters and workmen in the employ of the Atlantic Works, a quality producer of knives and cutlery in Sheffield, South Yorkshire. Following a cricket match in the afternoon, the workmen, who were joined by their wives, sat down for a dinner and tea. “These having been disposed of,” a newspaper reported, “the party adjourned to the green. Skittles, bowls, tut-ball, and other such amusements were again the order of the day.”
