882.) _Properties_ .-- One double-ball; as many sticks as players; red and yellow head-bands, equal in number, for the two sides of players.
_Directions_ .-- The double-ball should be made in camp in the following manner: A strip of leather or of strong, closely woven brown cloth from fifteen to twenty inches long.

For six inches from both ends the strip should be about seven inches wide; the portion of the strip between these wide ends should be about three inches wide.

The wide ends are to form the pouches, and the narrower middle section the band to connect the two pouches.

The two edges of the strip should be lapped and strongly sewed the entire length of the strip, except a small opening about an inch long left on the side of each of the pouches.

Through this opening the pouches are filled with dry sand, then the edges are securely sewed together so that no sand can escape.
