CULIN] SHINNY: KIOWA 629 
Indians of both sexes were engaged in the game. It was the * Presidio ” against 
the “ Mission.” They played with a small ball of hard wood, which, when hit, 
would bound with tremendous force without striking the ground for two or three 
hundred yards. Great excitement prevailed, and immense exertion was mani- 
fested on both sides, so that it was not till late in the afternoon that the game 
was decided in favor of the Indians of the Presidio.
