THE INDIAN GAME OF GOLF.
Twenty Redmen VIII Play Their Ex-
citing Game at the Paris
Fair Next Year.

Arrangements have just been COM
pleted with band of 40 Greek Indians.
says a Wichita (Kan.) correspond
ent of the Chicago Inter Ocean,
to go to Paris in 1900 and give the WIS.,
itors there an exhibition of the toll
game, which is the most exciting and
rude game among the Indian tribes.
The Indians are now engaged in prac-
tice on their reservation, near Eufau-
la, and reports from there say that a
number have been fatally wounded
while going through the game. Only
about 20 Indians are required to play
the game, but the redskins are going to
take along enough extra players to
complete the series of 50 games for
which they have been engaged. The
game is similar to golf, excepting that
it is much ruder. The Indians are di-
vided on sides, and the scramble COM
mences when the leader throws
wooden ball into the air and the players
start after it with their sticks, on the
end of which there is little basket.
They are supposed to catch this ball
with their sticks before it reaches the
ground and carry it about 300 yards to
the goal; then with one mighty throw
land it over high pole, and the game is
won. This trick is not easily accom-
plished, when the fact is brought to
mind that 20 other Indians, with heavy
clubs, are pursuing him and attempt
ing to beat him to earth, which is often
er done than he escapes. The swiftest
runners are chosen for this game, so
that when they once get the ball it can
be carried to the goal and the game
won.
