Pelota
Very fast ball game of Basque derivation, popular in Latin American countries and in the USA where it is a betting sport.
It is played by two, four, or six players, in a walled court, or cancha, and somewhat resembles squash, but each player uses a long, curved, wickerwork basket, or cesta, strapped to the hand, to hurl the ball, or pelota, against the walls.
