Ana.nnn HAll Game.

There is In use among the Basques
sort OF basket, often circular, but often,
also, narrowly oblong In shape, In which
women generally, and also men, carry
small burdens-as Of fish-on their
heads. These baskets, 1t may fairly be
conjectured, suggested to the Basques
and TO their Spanish neighbors across
the Pyrenees the game OF pelote-the
"long game" or the "basket game" as
it is also commonly called. Or 1t may
be that some innovator suggested the
use of basket work instead OF the stiff
leather used In trinquet.
Be that as it may, the basket game is
played with long curved thing OF
wicker attached to the glove in the
same manner of attachment as the
leather. The basket is not unlike the
wicker protection which in England Is
fitted over the wheel OF dogcart to
keen a lady's dress from contact with
mud on the tire. This polete is quite
different game from trinquet. 1t is
played in the open air. There is a
front wall on to which the ball has
to be served and returned but
there are no side walls.
The court Is often $50 yards or 80 in
length, and its lines are marked as arc
the touch lines OF football ground.
The server serves the ball as In blaid,
| bouncing it on slab OF marble, which
can be set at the angle most agreeable
to the server, and striking it with his
bare hand against the wall. 1t is re-
ceived either on the volley or the t1rst
bound by oReof the striking-Out side In
his basket, and returned against the
wall BY this time the server will have
resumed his glove-his basket-and is
ready to take his part In the game.
Four or FIVE a side are common num-
bers, aud villages compete with such
keenness against one another that it Is
usual for each village to have one man
who has been trained from childhood
in the art OF serving. Large sums are
bet upon the games, and If stranger
desires to get up match between the
best players of the French and Spanish
Basaues he will probably have to offer
as an inducement no less sum than
els or $40.
There is no line on the wall above
which the ball must strike, but they have
A system Of chases. The ball is sent
swiftly along the ground from the wall
toward the chase-mark, and II the side
defending the chase can field IL before
it reaches the mark the chase is of; II
the defending side fail, the chase is
won.
