BALL GAME OF CHEROKEES
Impo ortant Function Is Preceded by
Song and Dance Which Lasts
All Night.

The ball game as played by the
Cherokees is as important to them as
football or any other popular game is
to other people. The eastern band of
Cherokees live on the Qualla reser-
walton in western North Carolina
The neighborhood in which | live,
writes an Indian girl in the Red Man,
is divided into four main sections,
namely: Yellow Hill, Soco, Big Cove
and Brdtown. The Indians living in
one of these sections will challenge
those living in another to a game of
ball. They choose their players and
agree upon the time and place for
playing the game. It is generally
PLAYED in an open field far different
from the well graded field upon which
the game of football is played
The evening before the game the In
dians, the women included, hold a
dance in their respective sections of
the country These dances are held in
the open air. usually near some small
stream. The women do the singin e
while the men dance IN their songs
they make all kinds of remarks about
those of the opposing side. These
dances continue all night long. From
the time Of the dances until after the
games the players are not allowed to
eat any food.
The following day the people from
the different sections gather at the ap.
pointed place to witness the game.
They either sit or stand around the
edge of the field The ball players
each have two sticks similar to those
used in the game of lacrosse, only
smaller. The ball is tossed up in the
center of the field and the game be-
gins. The object is to get it around
two poles placed at each end of the
field certain number of times. They
cannot pick up the ball in their hands.
The players who succeed in getting
the ball around the poles at the end
of the field the greatest number of
times win the game-Red Man Mag
azine.

WOLF HUNTING WITH EAGLES
Kirqhiz Train Great Birds to Hunt
GazeIIe, Foxes and Even
Wolves.

All wanderers are lovers of the
chase but for sheer love of sport and
daring exploits the Kirghiz take the
palm, declares a writer in the Wide
World Magazine. Central Asia is the
home of falconry, which was not in
troduced into Europe until the Crusa-
ders brought back falcons with them
from their eastern wanderings. But
imagine the ambition of the men who
fly their birds at wolves and foxes in
stead of at quals and partridges, Not
content with hunting game birds with
small falcons, the Kirghiz capture and
train the great golden eagles, with
which they hunt such game as gazelle,
foxes and even wolves A we'll mount
ed Kirghiz falconer, carrying on his
wrist one of these magnificent birds,
is a fine sight. The weight of the
eagle is such that the owner requires
a support for his wrist, and the hunt
ers are usually to be seen with little
wooden bracket that supports the arm
against the hip. The eagles are hood
ed, as all falcons are but can only be
used in winter when they are hungry
and keen. In summer they are fed
on marmots and live restful life, sit
ting in the sun in front of the tent
DOORS When gazelle or wolves are
the objects of the chase, the eagles
are aided by long sleek greyhounds, of
a small breed, the dogs running in and
pulling down the quarry when the
eagles have sufficiently bewildered it

Some praise the pipes of Pan that once
aroused with tones of gold
The nymphs and naiads of the haunted
forests known of old;
And when Apollo struck the Tyre it's said
the trembling strings
Sent forth a marvel melody that was as
though on wings
But once 1t seemed all other tones were
simply stricken dumb
Beside the joyous jewsharp with its
'Flummer-f1 -f1ummer-flum.
No classic thing, the jewsharp. but when
you and l were boys
In very truth it seemed to US It made a
soulful noise,
And we would press it 'gainst our teeth
and puff our breath, and beat
Our fingers on the tongue and seek to
coax the music sweet
No cavalier with his guitar whereon his
tunes to strum
Could drown the olden jewsharp with its
"Flummer- r-flummer-f1um!"
L see you now-your eyes bulged out
your lips drawn back and strained
Your chin held rigid as wise. while slow
ly you attained
perfection In the melody, as back and
forth your hand
Went solemnly in unison with music that
was grand.
All. then we thought the greatest strains
that ever We're could come
Forth from the iron jewsharp with its
"Flummer- -fummer-fium
The winds that strike aeoian harps set
fairy strains adrift
And bands may play us surging tunes
that make our hearts beat swift.
But memory clings to its own, and mem
ory is sure
That our old jewsharp melodies were
marvellous and pure.
And through the hazes of the past in
gentle chords there come
Inc throbbing of the jewsharp in its
Flummer-f r-f1ummer-1ump

BANKERS GRAT|F|ED
WITH THE SUCCESS
IN SAVING LEAGUE
All Obstacles Removed and
Security Players Will
Stay.

General satisfaction is being express
ed today over the success Of the Bank
ers' League officials in preserving the
league in the face of apparent failure.
Everything seemed against continuance
of the circuit. 1t was definitely known
that American Security and Trust had
practically completed arrangements TO
enter the Independence League and play
its first game this afternoon.
General dissatisfaction was being
shown on all sides because of the fail
ure of the teams to appear and because
American Security was entirely too
strong for the other teams.
Some Changes Necessary.
All the managers of the different
teams in the league were present at the
meeting yesterday, and things were
taken up with all possible dispatch and
felicity.
Every possible effort was made to
keep the league intact. 1t was found
best to admit Hyattsville and strength
en- the Commercial National team.
Prospect Good Again.
With the new team and others ma
terially strengthened there seems every
likelihood of the Bankers league again
becoming a fast organization.
Great credit is to be given President
Kenyon and his associates who tided
the league over the rough places. Be-
fore long the fruits of their endeavors
will no doubt take the shape of rafting
good games on the White Lot.
