GAME. 1
b all cli/0m t may concern.'
Be it known that I, Pn'rnn E. JOHNSON, a citizen of the United States, residing at San Francisco, in the county of San Francisco, State of California, have invented a new and useful Game, of which the following is a specification in such full and clear terms as will enable those skilled in the art to construct and use the same.
rlhis invention relates to a game and its l object is to produce a board upon which a game substantially the same as outdoor base ball can be played.
rlhe drawing is a perspective view of the complete game board.
The numeral 1 indicates the base which has raised sides 2, 3, 4c and 5 and a trough 6 extends along the side 5 from the highest portion of said side to the upper end of the base. At the upper end of the base 1 wire wickets 7 to 16 inclusive extend across the board except for the place in back of the home plate 17 which space is open to allow the ball 18 which is used as a striker to hit the ball 19 on the home plate, the ball 18 being detained after the ball 19 has been dislodged by the two wickets 11 and 12, between which it cannot pass. V
The base 1 is provided with a diagram similar to the diagram used in conjunction with the ordinary base ball game and at places on the board corresponding to the usual placing of the field players in the base ball game there are wickets 21 to 27 inclusive, said wickets being so shaped as to be able to catch the ball 19 if it runs against them fairly. At the lower end of the base 1 there is a plurality of posts 29 and the spaces between said posts are marked in a manner corresponding to the terms and scoring of the ordinary base ball game.
On the raised side 4f which is wider than the other raised side there is mounted a plurality of revoluble indicating hands 30, said hands being used for the purpose, of scoring the points made in the gamejin a manner well understood by ballplayers.
Specification of Letters Patent. Pai-,Qnggd Sept, 12, 191@ AppIication filed January 4, 1915. Serial No. 435.
' while if the ball 18 strikes the ball 19 the latter ball will be, driven down the field and will either be detained by one of the wickets 21 to 27 or will reach the posts 29, whereupon the score will be indicated by the pair of posts between which the ball 19 lands. The score can then be marked up on the pointers and the game will proceed as before.
Suitable pegs may be placed in the holes 31 to indicate the position on the board of the advancing runner.
Having thus described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by LettersPatent of the United States, is as follows, modifications within the scope of the claim being expressly reserved:
A game comprising an inclined board having a rectangular figure formed thereon to simulate the infield of a baseball ground, a series of wicket stops extending entirely across the board except at one corner of the aforesaid rectangular ligure, a plurality of curved wicket stops, at different positions on the board, a plurality of differently designated compartments at the lower end of the board, and an oppositely inclined runway at the side of the board to deliver a striking ball above the series of wickets extending entirely across the board.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set 'my hand this 29th day of December, A.. D., 1914, in the presence of the two subscribed witnesses.
PETER E. JOHNSON.
