...stick-wielders in awe-struck submissiveness, while "Red" stiles hung onto his hot stuff with well-nigh sublime efficiency. In the field, "Wild West" Ingram brought exclamations of delight to the lips of every beholder, and accepted the most difficult chances with utter sang froid. Prexy Graves was a demon at the bat, and scampered around the bags like a yearling gazelle; and "Duffy" Lewis came through with a three-bagger every once in a while...

Many tribes of Indians solved the difficulty of invention by simply thinking of the Great Spirit. In this way they thought they received directly from him inspirations to discover things. Among the Polynesians, all human inventions originated from the other world. Thus female cloth-beating came from a she-demon who beat the souls of the dead; the art of war was learned from the rebel spirits. Among many primitive peoples, all methods of transportation were supposed to be taken from restless shades who travelled back and forth from one world to the other...
