...size of a baseball; two forwards on each team are prepared to receive it. The men carry sticks similar to those now in use, though they are shorter as to handle and end in a crock rather than in a flat arm. The whole scene greatly resembles the aspect of the modern game in every way. Of course I do not know just how the ancient Greeks played their game--whether there were more players on each team, whether there were goals, etc.--but it does seem reasonable that this bas-relief indicates the existence of a game very much...

This leaves Mr. Warner free but lonely to make his scheduled dash to Tun Huang, the second objective of his journey, where lie the caves of the Thousand Buddhas. The aspect of these ancient gods fills Mr. Werner with poetic reverence. However, "obviously, some specimens of these paintings must be secured for study at home, and, more important still, for safekeeping against further vandalism." For Mr. Warner makes it plain that the ignornt keepers of the chapel and the ignorant natives...
