After a few days the girls received word that Su-me-ah-chene was going
to play again at another big meet, so they all agreed to go and see
it as before. At the meet Su-me-ah-chene in his usual good spirits
was animated with glory upon winning the first point, so during the
intermission he resolved to find the three girls and inquire why
they did not keep their promise to visit him, as he felt very much
disappointed. Upon finding the girls he greeted them in his usual good
humor, but they drew themselves up haughtily and refused to speak to
him, as they believed that he was making light of them and having a
lot of amusement among his friends at their expense. As before he won
all the points, and during the intermissions he would return to the
girls, thinking perhaps he could find out what was wrong and win their
friendship again. The girls as before treated him very coldly, and were
so haughty that they would not listen to any of his excuses. Toward
the closing of the game the three girls moved over on Cry-way-ett’s
side of the court, which provoked Su-me-ah-chene. When the crowds
started for their homes after the game, Su-me-ah-chene said he would
go down to the mouth of the river, at Reck-woy village to visit for a
few days, as he had been turned down by the three girls. Upon reaching
the village, a host of pretty girls were glad to meet the much talked
of champion, and all greeted him with a royal welcome. When his visit
ended, he announced to the girls his intentions of playing another game
at Ca-neck with the Cay-way-ett team, and gave them all an invitation
to come.
Again another game was being held at Ca-neck, for the championship
between Su-me-ah-chene and Cay-way-ett. All the Reck-woy girls were
to be present, and were highly honored to think that Su-me-ah-chene
himself had invited them. Su-me-ah-chene and his team as usual won the
first point and during the intermission for rest he went among the
Reck-woy girls to visit with them. They were all pleased to be honored
with his company and marveled over his great athletic feats, and he
soon fancied that he was falling in love again. This time with one of
the pretty little Reck-woy girls.
