Data

“Tut-ball” was defined within a serialized publication of the local Hallamshire Vocabulary that appeared in a Sheffield, Yorkshire, newspaper: “Tut-ball—a local game played with a soft ball, in which the players have to make their way to certain homes or stations, called 'tuts.' If hit with the ball while running from one tut to another, their side is out. Called pize ball in the neighborhood of Leeds. The American base-ball seems to be an elaboration of the game.”
