BASE BALL.-The Mccall club of this par
| ish visited PIaquefnine last Sunday and
played match of eight innings with the
Viguets, which resulted in a victory for the
latter by a score Of 20 to y.
The members of the Mccall club speak
in very complimentary terms of the cordial
treatment and generous hospitality they re-
cei7ed at the hands of the Yiguets. We are
not surprised at this. The Plaeuemine
boys have high reputation here for the
manner IN which they acquit themselves as
hosts. The Ascension players are in no
wise discouraged by their defeat, but have
strong hopes of securing contrary result
at their next meeting with the Viguets.
| The J. l.. Brents of the left bank and
Young Tigers of DonaIdsonville met at
DarrowviIle, last Sunday afternoon, and the
Brents were badly beaten by the subjoined
| score.

By reason of the sickness and absence of

disappointment to the Brands, who had
their New Orleans contingent" on hand,

hands Of the Nolans two weeks before The
Captain Of the Nolans did his best to get a
nine together, but abandoned the effort at
2:30 P. NJ, Sunday, having secured only four
men up to that hour.

and the Captain was instructed to notify
the Alexandria club of the action taken.
The same officer was also directed to invite
the Shreveport nine to meet the Noians in
Alexandria and play match on Monday,
October l, the day following the projected
Ale1andria-Nolan game. Letters were
mailed to Alexandria and Shreveport on
Thursday, and answers may be expected
during the coming week. If the plan of the
Nolans is agreed to, tho Shreveporters can
play the Alexandrians Sunday forenoon,
the latter can cross bats with the Eolans
Sunday afternoon, and the Shreveport and
