4 THE CHEMAW A AMERICAN plaver, but the surf was too much for him . Nothing more was interesting until the ball game, then nothing 'was more inter- esting. We picked our team and start ed for the ball ground to play the North Stars. The ball ground was a new one it had been made that morn ing. A level place but not a smooth place was picked out and the 6-foot ferns cut down, leaving the stumps still standing no back-stop, but tall ferns all around the diamond. We won, 13 to 3, but space does not permit us to tell the whole story of the game; but Graham, our t wirier, caught "two live rabbits right in the ball field. He was about to throw the ball to the batter, r when the, third baseman and short-stop started a race with a rabbit just scared out of the .ferns by some ot the spectators. Instead of throwing "home"he. threw, at the rabbit and would have hit it. had its tail been longer. Missing it with the ball he made a jump for it and caught it in his- hands, gave it to a spectator, got . his . ball , and played again. He repeated this per formance again afterwards. Every time the ball went out of the diamond it was good for a home-run. The North Stars were up in, the air all the time. They were clumsy fell down every time they started to runand played such poor ball that, we went easy on them. We never failed to make monkeys of them every chance we had. Words cannot describe their clumsiness. All of our boys rolled in the fern and laughed until tears came in their eyes, so we said we were glad we were win ning and sorry they were losing. It was the funniest game our party ever witnessed. Smoker made the best fishing record, carrying in 186 trout, and Stone the best rabbit kill, 22. We returned calling our experience a good, time-nothing better! WASHOE-BERNER. .
