| Data | The game “tut-ball” was mentioned in a Sheffield, Yorkshire, newspaper article discussing some events from the childhood days of Robert Leader, the paper's former proprietor. In one tale, related from a diary entry, the young Robert was visiting a farm with his father: “A humbler game than lawn tennis was then in vogue. 'Mister Wells has got a house at Steel bank, and I have engaged to go, and have a game at tut-ball with him and his ladies.'” |
