Figure 1.-- Here we see boys playing La Quemada meaning the burn. We have no idea why it is has this name. We at first thought it was another game with the boys ined up, but apprently that was only done for the photograph. As the game is played, the boys look to crowd aroud the shooter who tries to roll a ball against a curb or wall without actually hitting it. If you look closely at the photograph you can see the ball and the boy in the middle who has jut let it go. Only one ball in play at a time. We re not entirely sure how the competition goes. Perhaps they mark how close ech boy came and then the next boy takes his turn and tries to come closer. We just do not understnd the name. The boy at the extreme right seems rather animted. We are not sure what he is holding or if he has a roll in the game.
