Application led october 7, 1916.
To all 207mm t may concern Be it known that we, OTTO C. Ernani- HARDT and DAM BERENT, citizens of the United Sta es, residing at Buffalo, in the county of Erie and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful lmprovements in Games, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to game apparatus7 and has for its primary object to provide a simplified and improved construction, by the use of which a highly amusing and entertaining game may be played.
The game apparatus aims mainly to provide a game which eliminates the element of luck and chance, and which requires the exercise of skill and marlismanship to produce a inning combination. A. further object of the invention is to provide a game which is capable of being successfully played and enjoyed by young as well as old people. A still further object is to provide a game embodying these characteristics which is of simple and inexpensive construction, which is easily played and understood, which may be played in various combinations, which includes an improved counting means, and which will prove practical and entertaining in use.
lVith these objects in view, together with others which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the novel formation, combination and arrangement of parts, all as will be described more fully hereinafter, illustrated in the drawings, and particularly pointed out in the claim.
ln the drawings Figure l is a. plan view of a game board constructed and arranged in accordance with the invention;
Fig. Q -is a sectional view taken on line 2-2 of Fig. l;
Fig. 3 is a cue used in playing the game; and
F ig. is one of the game pieces, shown in perspective, for playing the game.
Referring now particularly to 'the drawings, 5 indicates the board orplaying iield, the said board being of any desired size and constructed of any preferred material, and is preferably rectangular in shape. A guard rail 6 closes the major portion of the longitudinal sides of the board and one end thereof, the said rail extending slightly above the surface of the board. lThe play- Specification of Letters Patent.

ing surface is perfectly lat and 'smooth so as to permitof the ready sliding of the game pieces to be hereafter detailed thereover.
The playing field or upper surface of the board 5 is provided with a series of spaced openings or depressions 7, certain of the said openings being arranged near the corners of the board and at one end thereof, while the remaining openings are arranged in longitudinal series in the board surface intermediate the lateral ends of the latter. rthe vopenings are preferably circular and shallow, and are of relatively small diameter.
Extending upwardly from the playing surface and arranged in longitudinal series at the central part of the board, are pegs 8, the latter being formed of any suitable material, and are covered with rubber or other elastic material. rEhe board is also provided with pegs 9 arranged in series extending longitudinally of theboard and substantially intermediate the medial and longitudinal edges of the latter.
rlhe board is provided with a playing line 10, which may be painted or in any other manner inscribed upon the playing field adjacent the unrailed edge thereof. rhis line extends' laterally across the game board. A ring ll constituting the starting point is also inscribed in the playing field adjacent the unrailed end thereof, and intermediate the longitudinal edges of the same. The pegs 8 and 9 are arranged upon the playing surface in such manner as to intercept a game piece projected in a straight line from the starting point, and it is obvious that a blow delivered to a piece or marker resting upon said ring will cause the same to be deflected, by engagement with the various rubber covered pegs, in zig-zag courses over the playing field. The game is played with a given number of markers or pieces illustrated in Fig. el, the latter being of a size to loosely nt within the pockets or openings 7, and the course of these markers is directed by the use of the cue illustrated in Fig. 3.
Supported upon each of the longitudinal sides of the game board, and upon the upper edge of the end guard rail by the spaced posts l0 are wires ll, the said posts being spaced apart equi-distant throughout the lengths of the wires, and forming between them counter spaces. Slidably mounted
