All the boys are watching their beds in case the ball might them and if it does they must run to the bed and take the ball and throw it at the other boys. Then if it hits the boy the other boys will put a stone into his bed. Then when there are about twelve stones in the cap the game is finished. The boy that has the twelve stones in his bed is put up against a gate and he has to turn his face in towards the gate. Every boy gets three shots at him with the ball.
