526 GAMES OF THE NORTH AMERICAN INDIANS  [eru. ann. 24 
Yuma. Colorado river, California. 
Maj. S. P. Heintzleman, U. S. Army, says? in 1853: 
A favorite amusement is a play called mo-turp, or, in Spanish, redendo 
[redondo?]. It is played with two poles 15 feet long, an inch and a half in 
diameter, and a ring wrapped with twine, 4 inches in diameter. One rolls this 
ring along the ground and both run after it, projecting their poles forward. 
He on whose pole the ring stops counts 1, and he has the privilege to roll the 
ring. Four counts game. They do not count when a pole enters the ring. Old 
and young, chiefs and the common people, all take great delight in this game. 
They follow it for hours in the hot sun, raising clouds of dust, the perspiration 
making their dusky skins glossy. 
Arizona. 
Dr H. F. C. ten Kate, jr.’ says he saw a group of half-naked, 
painted young men who were intent in the game of otoerboek. This 
game is played by two men, each armed with a very long wooden pole, 
who run side by side. One of them rolls a wooden ring, kaptzor, rap- 
idly ahead. At the same time they hastily throw their poles at the 
ring so that it is stopped. He was not certain whether the sticks had 
to be thrown through the ring or whether the count depended upon 
the particular way in which the poles lay beside it. 
ZUNIAN STOCK 
Zuni. Zuni, New Mexico. (Cat. no. 3062, Brooklyn Institute Mu- 
seum. ) 
Ring of bent twig (figure 692), 5 inches in diameter, wound with 
blue yarn, and having a piece of blue yarn, 18 inches in length, 
tied at the point of juncture, and a peeled twig, 30 inches in 
length, painted red, and tied with blue yarn at four places equi- 
distant along its length. Collected by the writer in 1903. 
The game is called tsikonai ikoshnakia, ring play; the ring is 
called antsikonai, and the stick, tslamtashaikoshai, long stick for 
play. One man has the ring, which he rolls, and the other the stick, 
which he throws after it. When the stick penetrates the ring it 
counts according to the particular string on the stick against which it 
lies, as shown in figure 692. In going out to play the player carries 
the ring suspended over his shoulder by the end and the stick held 
upright in his right hand. 
Mrs Matilda Coxe Stevenson © describes the game of hotkaimonne: 
Implements: two slender sticks, each passed through a piece of corncob, the 
stick sharpened at one end and having two hawk plumes inserted in the other 
end: ball of yucca ribbons [figure 693].
