BALL BLARNEY.

DALI
Abbeyille has it bad.
Base ball has fired the heart
OF the Vermilion boys.
Country boys are not afraid Of
hot balls and they way they can
knock the backskin is a caution.
Don't it make a fellow feel
good all over, when his side has
come out at the small end of the
horn, to brag about how we
throwed Of on you uns."
Every game played In the
parish seemingly develops some
latent base ball genius whose re-
markable proves threatens to
totally eclipse the fame Of
Wright, Clapp Nolan, Sullivan,
and other base ball satellites Of
less renown.
Few men can tell how soft a
job it is to umpire q game OF base
ball to the full satisfaction of both
clubs and the spectators. A trial
or two settles the matter beyond
the Slightest shadow Of a doubt
in the mind Of any level headed
man.
The celebrated Sycamore Base
Ball Club met the White Stock

at Perry's Bridge one day last

innings, found to their surprise
that they were defeated.

Both clubs will be in full uniform
