Zuaquer.. Rio Fuerte, Sinaloa, Mexico. 
Mr C. V. Hartman writes the author as follows: 
These Indians have the same game as the Tarahumare, corrida de la bola, 
a race in which a wooden ball is tossed with the foot. Its name in their lan- 
guage is ga-hi’-ma-ri. 
Their women have a game with similar awooden balls, thrown up in the air 
with sticks which are spoon-like in the end, not forked, as by the Tarahumare. 
They call the game a’-tja.

Rev. H. R. Voth: 
One of the principal sports of the Ilopi, in which they indulge every few days 
in the spring, is a football race, in which the men from different kivas par-
