upon which is tightly stretched a cover of horse-hide. A rubber ball about the size of a lawn-tennis ball is used. One of the players opens the service (battuta), which is made from a small square called the trampolino, situated at one corner of the battuta but outside the court. The service must be over the middle line. The ball must then be hit from side to side over the line, the side failing to return it or sending it out of court losing a point. The game is scored like lawn-tennis, four points constituting a game, counting 15+ 15 +10+10. Tamburello, a less expensive game than Pallone, is popular with the lower classes, who use it as a medium for betting.
