Patent--d Nov. 9, 1926. 1 6065157 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE. WALTER JAY ENNISSON, OF BROOKLYN, NEW YORK. PARLOR BA,'3E]3ALL GAME. Application filed December 211921. Serial No. 519,474. This inventioi-i relates to baseball game devices and outfits and is in thp, nature of an improvement upon the gameboafd aiid outfit described I and claimed in my first Patent No. 1,155,'714. In the game-board and outfit of my said patent I utilized a spinning or indica-ting cievice by which the batting, running and ball - plays are determined, the result being 10 largely a matter of chande and providing little opportunity for the display of skill. Two indicatino- points or lines were used aiid ii-I was foliiid that the pl,,tyers frequently confLised these poiilts or lines -with the result 15 that the gan-ie did not proceed in tl-ie logical -,ti,icl real order, causing tl-ie pl,,tyers to lose interest. The indicator of said patent was also provided with different. sets of running and ball n-Limbers one set used by the rtiiri20 iiers aiid the other set. by the other active pl,tyers and inasmuel'i as the col'itestants e alternatel the rtiiiners alid the other ,tr y active players, there was always confusion ,is to -whicli set were to be used in aiiy inance. 25 St In said gaiaie-board outfit I provided colored buttods to represent the players of the te.iiiis which rnerely rested upoii the board. It was 'Lound that the buttons -were fre30 q-Lileiitly jarred from the positions iil whicli they were pl,,tced, especially when t-he boa,,-d was held in the laps of the contestants, with the resul+@ that considerable col'ifusion ai'l@l iiiicert-ainty arose. The contestaiits also fre8,5 qtientl@, colifused the runnei@s and the basemei-i with one' another by forgetting the color they ivere using at that particular time, ,ind moved the wrong buttons, which rest,ilted in such an oxtent of uncer'uainty that 40 -.i restart was frequently necessary. An object of th6 present invention is to provide aii improved spiiiner or indicator for del@-ei-minin-o@ the battiii runniii(y and 91 ball pla3,s iii -N@Iiieh considerable sl3:ifl and 45 l@niowledge of the game can be exerciseld, in -which the rocedure more nearly a proxip p n'lates aettial laying rules aiid actions, and p wh;lch is exceedingly simple. and inexpensive. so A further object is to provide an iniproved garae constructioii in which the likelihood of confusion of the ruliners and ba-semen is elimiiiated; in which accidental or - unintentional movemeiit of the ball and players is practically impossible; and generally to iii@- 5,5 prove and sirnplify the (yame device of my prior,patent a.nd @enderthe playing of the gaine iiiore realistic. Other objects and advantages will be apparent from the following description hnd co the novel features of the invention @will be particula.@ly pointed out in claims. Iii the, accompanyiiig drawing, Figures I and 2 are plan views of the disk; Fiz. 3 is a diainetral seefion olf.the disk. Fii' 4 is 65 a perspective plan vie-"r Of game-board, and Figs. 5 and 6 ai-e large viewl's of men P'leces. Fig. 7 is a representation of a ball piece to be en-iployed. in connection, wit-h the gameboard. 70 In the illustrated, embodiment the diainond in miniature i i gai-.leboard A s ndicated upon the 7 the diamond being definled by small squares B, B', re presenting regpo(,tively t,he h 75 firs t base, sec ond base and third e, bases ancl ho-me plate are connected b-y Iiiies a, each havino- three small intermeuiate runners' positions a' for breaking the line into f our substantially equal sections. A chain of six 80 statiol'is b surrounds each base, over which ch@,tin the basemen are shifted in inaking thleir pla-37s in a manner determiiied by an ilidicator or spliiner. Th@'ball position stations c at the home plate, the batter's box d, 85 the catcher@s chain of six stations I e the pitcher's box of @four statioils the three umpi e statioiis r (7, the runner' s 't- on af the six chain st@tions of the @e=' ' positio ns h@ i and j, and the' six chain stations 90 of the short stop position, are provided with sra all holes, to receive small positioning pins or pegs k upon the bottoms of miniature pla yer@ 1, m and n. The ball piece, PB is em ployed to represent the positions of the 95 rea l ball -Lipon the-diamond, an I d because of its construction may be te@med the peg ball, in co I ntrast to the'spinner ball SB, as shown in Figs. @l, 2 and 3. This Peg ball has a peg l@ @ similar in si I ze, form an@d f@nction to:that 100

of the players, aiid is adapted to be placed in the saine holes oceiipied by the baseiiien and fielders of the out-te,,tm. The positioii aiad -knovement of the i)laver@ aiid the ball Lipoi-i the board is d-eteri-.iiii-ied by the position of the spiniior ball SB Lipon the spinner Nvhen the disc D has ceased to rotate, the spinner ball theii occupying tnvo panel.s coiitainilig nl"Lrgiiial l'itinierals@ aiid lo tlso located witl-iiii a Nvider panel tipon the outer riin of th,- spinner. These niiinbers are intended f6r pl,,icilia the ball upon the cliamond at the place iiidicatiiig the field to which it has beeii batted, or th-e base to 15 which it h,,is been tlirown, the position of the spiiiner ball deteriiiirlino- those respective aetions in accorda-.noe with the relative positions of the n-ien al'id the peg ball ixpon the bqard at the time of a give-n spiiining. Thus 20 tla@, large sectional numbers froin I to 6 oii the extreine outer circle of the disc m,,ty be employed exclusively for positioiiin- the peg ball upon cne of the simil@arly d'esigliated six positions 6f tl@e fielders ana basenie,-Li. At 25 the sanie tin'le as pointed out the spiiiiier ball gives numbers with which the runliers of both sides inay advalice either on the one side froin base, to base 6r on 'Lhe other sicle from iiuiiiber to nuinber aroliiid th6 series 30 of six nuniberecl pos',.tions ,it each base aiid, field uiitil the.ball is recoverecl.

The iiliinbers upoii the m,,tro-in of the spiiiiiiiag disc and tl-ie similarly ari@ano-ed inargiii,,vl nlimbers adjaceiit thereco' tipbn tlie portion of 40 the spinn6r, beca-Lise of the movement of one and the stationai-y positi-on of the other, make it possible to predetermiiie practically III n-iovem,eiits of ,t baseball - ,ar.,Ie, -which could iiot be done iiilless a -Dart of tl-iese nlimbers 45 -W ere permaliently attael-iecl to the larger or secti0ii-,tl ni-iiaibers 1 to 6 as: shoy,@;ii these numbers I to 6 beinp- iised forpositioiiing the part of the marg,iii,,tl iiumbers h ving a a p,,trtially perm,,tnent aiid partiilly -,Tarler)o gated relatiolishi' tl-ye@ewitl-i.
