Fives

Game of handball, where two or four players hit a hard ball against a wall or walls with padded gloves. In England there are three forms of the game, distinguished from one another by the names of the schools in which they were variously played: Eton, Rugby, and Winchester Fives. Under the name of handball a similar game is played in the USA and Ireland.
