    I saw this addition to the game in my young days in the Parish of Newcastle - it is not known in Grange. When all were "out" the player left had the privilege of hitting each of the other players with three stroke of the ball on the palm of the hand. The hand was laid on a cap which was laid under it on the ground. This penalty was very seldom more than a matter of form - the strokes were very seldom or ever hit with any desire to hurt.
