@m01 The semantics of jeweils include a meaning that partitions time into periods where exactly one of the given alternatives happen, ie. football and baseball being played, respectively ( scnr ;) ), by both boys. There also is the meaning that each of the boys plays football and baseball. To me that is the dominant reading right now, though it might be that I've become biased by considering the issue.

I'm not sure, but what's wrong with jeweils? Tom und Jack spielen jeweils Fußball und Baseball. Although to be honest, I'd just say "Tom spielt Fußball und Jack spielt Baseball" without any extra complications.
