Text The Indian Sports -- consisting of a game of ball between the Senecas and Tuscaroras - come off at Buffalo on Thursday last, before a large number of spectators who had assembled notwithstanding the rain. In both games played, says the Commercial Advertiser of that city, the Senecas won the feather . . . The Tuscaroras, however, have determined not to give up 'the feather," and are to meet early next spring to decide the question for the last time, prior to their departure.

"The Tuscaroras allege that unfair means were used by the Senecas in putting on fresh men at the end of every game, which with the Tuscarorasis not an ancient custom."
