The 'thing' you see them carrying is called a mallet. It is a long stick with a cylindrical head on it used to hit the ball towards the goals. They can only be used right handed.
In lacrosse, the stick is EVERYTHING. You can only touch the ball with your stick. That's how you carry it. You shoot, cradle, pass, block, and catch with the stick.
they used to play lacrosse a sport that is were you trough a ball to a player and you have to catch it with a special polo stick

Polo is played on a field while on horseback with the player hitting the ball with a polo mallet in order for it to get into the goal, whereas in water polo it is played in the water and it has more of a resemblance to netball, except you are only allowed to catch with one hand. hope this helped!
Because it has always been like that. Polo wouldn't be polo without the mallets. The mallet is used to strike the ball. Mallets vary in size mainly according to the size of the mallets but it can also vary according to the what the player prefers. Mallets vary from sizes most commonly 50-53 inches. Hope this helped.Source: 5 years of playing polo. -2 goaler.

Polo is one such game. It is a bit like croquet in that a wooden mallet is used to drive a ball.
The cue stick is used to strike the balls. The cue ball used by the players to hit the other balls is the white ball. It is the one they hit with the cue stick.
The sport of you refer to is called Hurling, not hurley. It is a uniquely Irish game. Played with a stick and ball, it is a fast paced game, much like an airborne version of hockey (if you can imagine that). You can use the stick to hit the ball. Hands can be used to pass the ball, though not throw it. Its called a hand pass and is useful for short distance or if someone is hooking u ie uses there stick to stop you swing with your stick. See the related question below.
because the grocery stores used to keep there can corn on the top shelf people had to use a stick to get it off the shelf and catch the can like a fly ball
