Choose two more of the fellows to be Injuns with you, and the rest will be whites." "All right," nodded Dick.

"Dave and Tom can go with me.

Who'll be your captain ?" "Greg!" cried Spoff.
"Holmesy," said Ross in the same breath.
So Greg Holmes was chosen captain, to command the whites.
"Give us the full six minutes, Greg, won't you ?" Dick called, as he and his two fellow "Injuns" prepared to enter the deep woods.
"Of course I will," Greg nodded.

"You don't think I'd cheat, do you ?" Those of the boys who were proud owners of watches hurriedly consulted their timepieces.

Greg retained his in his hand.
"Now," called Dick, and away he started, followed by Braves Darrin and Reade.
As the Gridley boys had their own version of "Indians and Whites," a description of the game may as well be given here.
The Indians always chose a chief, the whites a captain.
