1. A game apparatus for play by one or more individuals on a lawn area and the like, the apparatus comprising, in combination; a playing stick of an elongated solid cylindrical configuration including cylindrical side wall surfaces, a flat top end, and a flat bottom end, said top and bottom ends disposed parallel to each other and normal to the axis of said playing stick, said stick having a diameter of about one inch and an overall length of about 3 inches; a batting stick of a solid elongated cylindrical rod configuration formed into a handle portion at the top end thereof adapted to be gripped between the hands of an individual for use of the batting stick, and a striking portion formed integrally on the bottom end portion thereof, said batting stick having a flat top end extending normal to the axis of the batting stick, said batting stick having a bottom end disposed in aligned contact edge extending normal to the axis of the stick offset from the axis of the stick and disposed normal to and including the tangential line extending longitudinally along the side wall surface oF the stick; said striking portion of said batting stick being of an incline tapered flat surface which tapers upwardly from said bottom end in a direction toward said top end at an angle from about 12* to about 15* and terminates at a tangential line extending longitudinally of the side walls diametrically opposed to the tangential line contacting said stick bottom end, the width of said striking surface as measured at the axis of said batting stick being equal to the width of said striking surface as measured at bottom end; said batting stick having a diameter of about 2 inches and an overall length of about 14 inches as measured between said top end and said bottom end thereof; a table consisting of a flat horizontally disposed top member and four independent identically configured vertically extending leg members adapted to support said top member at a vertical elevation spaced from the ground on which the table is supported; said top member being square in configuration and having a horizontal flat top surface, a horizontal flat bottom surface, a pair of opposed parallel side edges, and opposed front and back edges; an opening disposed centrally of said top member and extending completely therethrough between said top and bottom surfaces thereof, said opening being of a diameter less than the length of said playing stick; a pair of diametrically opposed recesses disposed along the axis of the top member intersecting the midpoints of said opposite side edges, each of said recesses being of an identical semicircular configuration and defined in said top member top surface adjacent perimeter portions of said opening such that the recesses open into said opening to be contiguous therewith, the overall length as measured between the diametrically opposed outermost surfaces of said recesses being greater than the overall length of said playing stick with said playing stick adapted to be restingly received along the axis of said opening with the ends of said playing stick restingly received in opposite ones of said recesses; a plurality of vertically extending socket forming recesses, each of said sockets disposed in said top member bottom surface adjacent each of said corners thereof and extending vertically thereinto and opening out of said bottom surface; each of said leg members being of an identical elongated rectangularly shaped configuration having a rectangular crosssection, a flat top end extending normal to the axis of the leg member, and a bottom end; each of said bottom ends of said leg member being tapered to a point adapted to assist in the penetration of the lawn surface on which said table is supported for firm supporting of said table in position thereon; and a plurality of axially elongated solid cylindrical peg members, each peg member having a bottom end and a top end, each peg member associated with one of said top ends of said leg members with said peg bottom end affixed centrally thereof to be axially aligned with the axis of said leg member, said peg projecting upwardly therefrom in a vertical direction and adapted to be removably engaged in associated one of said sockets of said table member, said socket being of a size and configuration complementary to the size and configuration of said peg, the pegs detachably affixing each of said leg members to a corner portion of said top member with said top end of each leg member disposed in juxtaposition with said top member bottom surface when said peg is fully engaged in said recess; whereby said table top may be rapidly assembled to said legs and said playing stick having its ends restingly supported in said recesses to extend diametrically across said opening for batting with said striking portion of said batting stick.
