We had introduced base-ball into the region and the valley boys and mountain boys, being swift runners, throwing like a rifle- shot from constant practice with stones, and being hard as nails, caught the game quickly and with great ease. We beat them all the time at first, but now they were beginning to beat us. We had a league now, and this was the championship game for the pennant. " It was right funny the first time we [106] THE GREAT DAY beat a native team. Of course, we got to- gether and ...cheered 'em. They thought we were cheering ourselves, so they got red in the face, rushed together and whooped it up for themselves for about half an hour." The Blight almost laughed. " We used to have to carry our guns around with us at first when we went to other places, and we came near having several fights." " Oh I " said the Blight excitedly. " Do you think there might be a fight this after- noon? " " Don't know," I said, shaking my head. " It's pretty hard for eighteen people to fight when nine of them are policemen and there are forty more around.
