Choreographed Games Pitch Pebble
( Choreographed, Physical Contest, Tenpins )This game may be played with pebbles shells or nuts each player having two or four of such articles. The object of the game is to throw these pebbles into a hole about four inches in diameter which should be made in the ground. The first part of the game is concerned with determining the order in which the players shall take turns. Ten feet from the hole a place is marked from which the players throw in turn until each has had enough turns to have thrown all of his pebbles. The one who has succeeded in landing a pebble nearest the hole becomes the first player and takes his stand on a second mark drawn one fourth nearer the hole all the players meanwhile having gathered up their pebbles again. These are all given to the successful player and he pitches them in a mass toward the hole becoming the owner of as many as fall into the hole. Any pebbles that do not go in the hole are gathered up by the player who in the original throwing came out second in trying to get near the hole and he in turn throws these in mass standing also at the nearer throwing point from which his predecessor threw. All of the players take turns in this way until all of the pebbles have been appropriated. The player wins who gets the most pebbles. Pebbles won are not thrown again but kept for score.
For good players the distances from the hole may be increased.
