Hundreds, sb. the name of a boys' game at marbles, which is carried on till one of the players scores 100, or some higher number agreed upon ; at that stage a chacge takes place in the proceedings. Any number can play at the game, but it will be best described for two players, A and d. First they taw up to a hole ; if both get in they re]9eat the process tmtil one is left out, say B ; then A counts 10. Should both fail the nearest goes first. He may now lay his tato about the hole, or fire at the other, on hitting which he counts another 10. He now goes for the hole again, and failing, lies where he happens to stop. If he misses, B from his present position tries to get mto the hole, and failing, lies still ; but if he reaches the hole he counts 10, and proceeds as A had done. The one who first gets the 100 (or other number) now goes in for his pizings, which performance takes place thus : — The loser, so feur, is lying about, and the winner goes back to drakes, and afinuin tries to lod^ in the hole, and if he succeeds the fame is up. if not, he lies still, and the loser tries for the hole ; if e gets in he counts another 10, or if he should succeed in hitting the winner, he scores his adyersary's hundred to his own number, and then goes on for his pizinga^ as the other had done. In lailure of either secunne the game thus, the process is repeated at drakes. When, however, uie one who is on for his pizings manages to taw into the hole, the game is concluded.
