| Data | “Tutball” was cited in one of a series of Lichfield, Staffordshire, newspaper articles about Staffordshire Customs, this one entitled “Children's Games, Pastimes and Amusements.” After a lengthy discussion of rounders, the writer added that “'Tutball' was a similar game in which the bat was dispensed with, and the open hand used to smite the ball—once highly popular with the poorer children of the Black Country whose means precluded the possibility of providing other apparatus than a penny ball.” A description of the game then followed. |
