The document discusses three sports - Jai-Alai, Polo, and Cricket - and compares their origins, gameplay, and influences. Jai-Alai originated in the Pyrenees mountains of Spain and was originally played using church walls. Polo is played in teams of four and rider safety is the most important factor. Cricket was originally played with a hockey stick and the first cricket balls were made from sheep skin around a wood core.
