ANOTHER NOLAN VICTORY.

the Brands, !, to 4.
The champion Nolans of Donaldsonville
scored another brilliant victory on the dia-
mond field last Sunday afternoon, beating
the Henry 9. Brands of the fifth ward by
the close score of 5 TO in the best game of
base ball ever played here. The Brands ex-
ecuted their long threatened intention of
securing the services OF players from New
Orleans with the view of defeating the No
lans, and app cared last Sunday with their
team strengthened by the addition of three
tip-top ball tossers imported expressly for
the occasion. These were Messrs. Smith,
the formidable curve pitcher of the Rogers
club; Pujol, catcher of the Fords, and Ken
New Orleans. Add to these Mr.. Dowd,
formerly of the Clarkes Mr.. Casey formerly
of the Wrights, Mr.. Larkins, splendid
first baseman, and an outheld of sure
catchers and good batters, and it may well
be imagined that the Noians would have to
hump themselves to hold their own against
such nine.
The game attracted Il large crowd and the
spectators displayed the greatest interest in
the progress of the contest, applauding the
good play vociferously and encroacl1ing
upon the field in their excitement despite
the efforts of several policemen to keep them
back of the lines. Smiths swift and puz-.
cling delivery completely baked the Nolan
strikers during the early part of the game,
and up to the seventh inning it looked as if
the home club would be retired with an u1l-
broken series Of goose eggs, the score then
standing to 0 III favor of the Brands. The
Nolans secured one run III the seventh III
ming, however, tied the score in the eighth
and made the fifth and winning run in the
last inning, with only one man out and two
left on bases. The Brands made two runs
in the first inning and two in the sixth.
The fielding on both sides was brilliant, and
nearly every player distinguished himself.
The NoEans were short the services Of L. W.
Cook, MeIancon and Dugas, three of their
best men, a fact that makes their well
earned victory all the moro creditable.
The umpiring of Mr.. Glenn. =. Binnings
was first-c class, as usual, and while there
were several instances of back talk " they
were due moro to unfamiliarity with the
rules Of the game and constitutional ten
dency towards g kicking" Oh the part of
the disscnters than to any fault Of the UNI
pire,
