$PECIFIGATION forming part Of Letters Patent NO. 607,560, dated July 19, 1898. Application filed March 7, 1898 Serial N0. 672,826. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern: 7,

Be it known that I, WILHELM ZOLPER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Elkton, in the county of Cecil, State of Maryland, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Games, which improvement is fully set forth in the following specification and accompanying drawings.

My invention consists of a game embodying a field provided with numbered openings and a spinner whose point is adapted to enter said openings,thus scoring for the player,said field being provided with pockets in which balls may be seated and from which they may be removed by contact therewith of the spinner, whereby if the balls lodge over or on the openings of the field there is an additional count for the player.

Figure 1 represents a plan view of a game an inclosure E, outside of which are the pockets or bases F, which areadjaoent to the rim,

G of the box, which contains the game.

H designates a spinner or form of tee-totum Whose 'point' is adapted to enter the openings 13, and J designates balls adapted to primarily occupy the-pockets F.

The operation is as follows: Rotation is imparted to the spinner at the center of the field and it traverses the latter, so that when it exhausts itself it may fall on a solid portion of the field between the openings B, which is of no advantage to the player, or its point may drop into and rest in one of said openings, the number of which is counted for the player.

' The spinner in its whirling may strike either of the balls J and remove the same from its pocket or base, and if a ball stops on one of the openings 13 the number thereof is added to the score of the player.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new,and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is r V V A game consisting of a field with a series of numbered openings and pockets therein, a spinner whose point is adapted to enter either of said openings and balls adapted to occupy said pockets and be moved toward said open- 111S.
