Text

The rules for "Poisoned Ball" are described in a French book of boy's games: "In a court, or in a large square space, four points are marked: one for the home base, the others for bases which must be touched by the runners in succession, etc."

Les Jeux des Jeunes Garcons [Paris, c.1810]. Per Henderson, note XXXXX Note: David Block, at page 186-187, dates this book at 1815 some of the doubt perhaps arising from the fact that the earliest [undated?] extant copy is a fourth edition. He notes that the French text does not say directly that a bat is used in this game; the palm may have been used to "repel" the ball.

To See the Text: David Block carries a three-paragraph translation of text in Appendix 7, page 279, of Baseball Before We Knew It.
