Umpire-Chas. Lctten Of the New Orleans
Lone Star club
Scorers-Alex. Pujol for Rogers, r. Nc
Culloh for Nolans
A more pleasant game could not have
been desired. Mr. Letten's umpirine
was admirable and there was no dis
putting over his decisions or other points
Of the play. The pitcher Of the Rogers
was taken i'll during the latter portion
| Of the game and was replaced by a
substitute. 1t will be seen from the
score that at the commencement of the
seventh inning the figures were Is to 3
in favor of the Nnlans aud veritable
Waterloo defeat seemed in store for the
Rogers, but by some wild throwing on
the part of the home boys the visitors
were enabled to get in seven runs. The
catcher of the Nolans was the chief
culprit in this business, but he had an
injured hand to plead in extenuation and
considering the result of the game and
the general excellent play of all the
men, the friends of the club readily
excused the very few errors committed.
The visiting club, accompanied by Messrs.
John Rogers, their patron, Geo. A. CHA
pella, honorary president, and A. D.
Saucier, president and manager, and
several other friends, returned to the
city ON the Cotton Classers' excursion
train which passed down on its way
back from Baton Rouge at Gas P. NJ.
They all seemed pleased with their trip
and the hospitable manner in which
they were entertained at the Lee Hotel
by Mr.. J. j. Lafargue, manager of the
Nolan club.
On the 25th inst, the Nolans will
accompany Phoenix Fire Company Oh
their excursion to New Orleans, and play
a return game with the Rogers in the
base ball park on Monday, June 26.

This is a strong team and will give the
