The Donaldsonville chief. [volume] (Donaldsonville, La.) 1871-current, 1883-07-21

i BASE BAII.-Seyen OF the Nolan players
went to Plaquemine on the steamer Danube
last Sunday morning and played close and
enjoyable game with the Viguets of that
town. the Nolan team filing up to the re-
CURED number by securing the services of
two Iberville players. We give the score
by innings:
yiguets... 3 Q 2 Q 2 o-14
Nolans. .........-. 5 2 l 0 II
Umpire, VIM. Ventress; Scorer, Aaron Levy.
The acquisition of skillful left-handed
pitcher, who is an excellent general player,
has strengthened the Viguet nine consider
ably and they give promise of becoming
very Formidable. The Donaldsonville boys
were handsomely received by their Plaque
mine friends, and we're not allowed to pass
a dull waking moment while in the place.
The perfect good feeling which has charac-
terized all the Viguet- Nolan contests pre-
vailed Oh this occasion, and the bond of
friendship and good will established be-
4 tween the two clubs was made strooger
than ever. Capt. Geo. Bourgeois, Messrs.
Cramer, Wilbert, Humble, Levy and the other

selves with great success to contribute to
the enjoyment of the visitors, ably sec
onded by Mr.. Silvain Levy, proprietor Of
the City Hotel, Mons. Henri Chretien of
the Cosmopolitan, and several other pro1ni-
nent residents of Flaquemine. These gen.
tlemen all have the hearty thanks of the
Nolans for their courtesy, hospitality and
unremittiug kindness.
The L. E. Bentley club crossed the river
and played the Henry G. Brand nine at the
Clark place last Sunday evening, the score
standing 20 to - in favor of the Brands at
the close of the eighth inning. The figures
were as follows:
Brands. .............2 3 5 6 1-29
Bentleys 2 0 0 3 2-13
Umpire-Joseph Coughlin.
There were several controversies over dis
puted points during the match, and the con-
clusion was for this reason quite unsatisfac-
tory to both sides. Another match should
be had under more favorable conditions,
and players cautioned not to dispute the
rulings of the umpire. 1t is better to &C
|
than to disturb the harmony of the game
with chickering's.
As we write it is undetermined whether
the Alexandria team will keep their engage
ment to play the Nolans here tomorrow.
A telegram was received from Manager
Biossat last evening saying
Impossible for club to come unless We
play in morning. Answer.
After consultation with Manager Lafargue
the Captain of the Nolans wired the follow
ing response:
Merchants won't offer prize for morning
game. We have incurred trouble and ex-
pcnsc. Reconsider decision and come.
| Answer.
To this no reply had been received when
our paper went to press. In all other par
ticAsAs excepting the hour, the conditions
of the game have been fixed in accordance
witt, the wishes of the Alexandria club, and
the single exception would also have been
| yielded had it not been ascertained, after
| due consideration and inquiry, that the
| playing OF the game before evening would

| iority OF the people who would like to wit
ness it, and particularly to those who had
agreed to contribute pro rata of the 500
which is to be offered as prize to the win
ming club. The Nolans gave Alexandria
the benefit Of game last October and it is
only fair that tie compliment should now
be returned. We hope to hear before the
| day is over that the Alexandrians have re-
considered their determination and will be
on hand tomorrow according to expecta-
ton. IF this news com es it will be immedi-
ately announced by means of handbills.
The Brands and Nolans will play on the
Nolan grounds tomorrow week, the 29th
