3. the game may be played by any number of persons, from two or three to half a dozen on a side. the ponies are limited to a specified height or weight, and are specially bred and trained for the sport. the mallet is long enough for the player to reach the ball on the ground when he is sitting upright in the saddle, and is provided with a strap which goes over the hand. the object of the game is to drive the ball through goals erected at each end of the field. the side which succeeds in driving the ball through these goals the greater number of times during certain fixed periods of play wins the game. there is one referee whose duty it is to start the play, and also to throw the ball in when it has been knocked out of bounds. the boundary of the field consists of a board projecting above the ground about a foot, which usually prevents the rolling ball from going out of bounds. the rules of the game differ somewhat in different countries. the english rules insist upon on-side methods, but allow the hooking of mallets; while the american rules admit of off-side play, but not of thus interfering with an opponent's stroke.
