A game and also one of the instruments used in playing the game,

and a kind of wooden spoon working on a pivot, in which
the ball is placed. By striking the handle or end of the spoon
the ball is projected up into the air, and the striker endeavors
to hit it as far as possible with the bat before it falls to the ground.
