Description	A 2009 article[179] reports on a game played mostly in Chicago involving a ball of 16” circumference and using no gloves. No other variations are covered. The article is not clear on the local name for the game, but another account[180] calls the large ball a “clincher,” and notes that games were sometimes played in the street. [Note: Line Ball, another Chicago game, also used a large ball.]
