Caddy

| This game is one of the few that required some equipment for the play of the game. The items used were home made and consisted of a stick and a caddy. The caddy was made of wood, approximately 3/4 inches square and about 5 inches long. The ends of the caddy were pointed, and the sides had the Roman numerals I, II, III, and X cut into the sides of the caddy. The stick used to strike the caddy was about 1 inch square and about the 3 feet long. Two or more people could play this game. The person who started the game would throw the caddy on the ground as one would toss a die. If the number I, II, or III came up, he would attempt to hit the caddy on one of the sharpened ends, causing it to flip into the air. He would then hit the caddy as hard as he could to propel it as far from home base as he could. He would do this a second or third time if the numbers II or III had been up. If he had been successful in knocking the caddy 20 or 30 feet away, he would then state a specified number of jumps that one of the other players could take to reach the caddy from home base. If the opponent reached the caddy in the specified number of jumps or less, it was his turn to toss the caddy. If the number X came up during a toss of the caddy, the player who had thrown it would lose his turn. | ||
