An Indian ball game, according to
those who have witnessed it, is a
form Of sport in which anything
goes. 1t contains elements Of la
crosse, a dash of foot ball, many
drops OF free-for- -all-fighting, mixed
well with wrestling, no holds barred.
As in lacrosse, the players are
equipped with netted sticks, but each
participant has two. The object of
the game Is to throw or carry the
ball between the goal posts, but any
tactics may be employed to prevent
the fulflllment Of any such ambition.
There appear to be no rules and
there are no penalties. When a man
becomes incapacitated he Is carried
to the sidelines and another takes
his place.
Two features Of Indian ball made
necessary by its roughness which
the more modern game does not pos
sess are ball pointers, whose duty 1t
is, by means of switches, to indi-
cate the location of the ball after
one of these free-for- -alls, and bat

the one big blotch IN the history Of a
game that has thrilled Americans for
go years.
The whole truth Of the conspiracy

Of the White Sox team, and it dis
persed one Of the greatest ball teams
ever assembled when eight star players
Of the Sox were blacklisted for life.
