Bnrnsi,les of Donaldsonville played their
thi I'd mattel, game OF the season Sunday
before last, the 4th inst, and the Burn
| sides were victorious by score of 80 to
| 10, as follows:

AS we have said, the game was i'm
promptu and was only played to fill up a
vacant afternoon, the appointed match
Tigers have failed through the non-ap-
pearance of the Tigers, who broke their
engagement to attend picnic. The
Burnsiles were weakened by the absence
Of two Of their best men and the disability
of their catcher, whose sore hands pre-
vented him from playing i'll his regular
position. Notwithstanding these circnm-
stances, which were we'll understood Ivy
all who participated iii the game, the
Captain Of the Grassloppers sent to the
New Orleans Picayune a statement that
| the game was for the championship of
the parish, which was won by his club.
| This erroneous report was subsequently
corrected by the President Of the Burn
side club, through the columns of the
same paper. Even if the game is counted
as a regular match, it leaves the contend
in. clubs each with two victories and
| two defeats and the question fchampion-
ship yet to be decided. The members Of
the Burnside club naturally feel provoked
| at the unjustifiable attempt which has
been made to accord to their opponents
a superiority on paper which they have
| not vet been able to achieve OH the ball
field. Such episodes are to be regretted,
as they tend to impair the good feeling
with which the national game ought to
be conducted by our young men. The
| New Hopes Of Ascension met the H.
Bleakleys Of St. James at College Point,
last Sunday and defeated them in hand
some style by the subjoined score:
! Bleakleys,. 3 6 2 Ia
Umpirc-Henry C. Braud of the New
Hopes.
Scorcrs-R. T. Hart for New Hopes, Alex.
Allan for Blcakleys
The Bleakleys have disbanded for the
season, and it is said their catcher, Mr..
Dave Casey, will join the New Hopes and
play that position in their nine.
A peculiar game was played in Pain
courtville last Sunday. The Rambnctions
Juniors challenged five members Of the
Rambuctious club to play match for a
stake of IS against 81 so. The challenge
was accepted and the pitcher, catcher
and three bascmen Of the senior club
defeated the junior nine by the big score
of SO to Is in six innings. The Juniors
propose to try the game over at an early
day. Mr.. Henry A. Dugas of the Burn
sides acted as umpire. Mr. o. Guillot,
first baseman of the Rambuctious club
made the phenomenal score Of Is runs
and no outs.
