Abstract
A ball is provided for use in a target dart game, which game includes a target formed of a sheet of fabric having upstanding filamentary elements adapted to engage and hold the ball against that portion of the target struck by the ball, as the ball is thrown against the target. The ball has strips of Velcro material attached thereto. Bushings are provided in diametrically opposite positions on the ball, and plugs are inserted into the bushings and are frictionally held therein. The heads of the plugs extend over the ends of the Velcro strips, so that such ends are anchored in place by the plugs. This provides for a simple and inexpensive means for securing the Velcro strips to the ball without any tendency for the ends of the strips to curl outwardly or peel off the surface of the ball.
