This is the chief game played by working-men in Belgium. In someplaces it seems to be quite unknown, but in others it is very popular. But there are so many rules that it is impossible fully to understandit without seeing it p...layed, or to explain it without a diagramshowing the positions of the players, who have all different names, like men fielding at cricket.
