L
pated game between the Teutenic and
Cosmopolitan mines last Sunday, and as the
/ Viguets of Plaquemine are coming down to
meet the Nolans tomorrow, the Teutonic-
Cosmopolitan match will have to be put off
another week.
The Viguets will reach here by the morn
| ing train tomorrow and we know they will
be heartily received by their Donaldsonville
friends, who can never forget the handsome
receptions and hospitable treatment extern
ded them upon the occasion of their visits
to the town of Plaquemine. The game be-
tween the Viguets and Nolans Will be called
at o'clock sharp, in order that it may be
concluded in season to allow the visitors to
reach the evening train at 6;25. IF the
weather be favorable well contested match
may be expected.
| The New Hopes of the fifth ward are
recognizing, with better material than
ever before, and they propose to give the
| Nolans rifle for the local championship
of the current season. Mr.. Torch, formerly
| pitcher Of the Lees and Brennans, and
several other expert ball tossers from New
| Orleans are employed On the Beirne planta-
| tations and will appear in the new nine.
| Their first meeting with the Nolans will be
| looked forward to with great interest, and
we are assured that the event will transpire
at very early day-probably in two or
three weeks.
A letter has been received from Mr.. r. A.
Iabauve, Manager Of the Morgan City
Base Ball Club, proposing match game
with the Nolans for the second Sunday of
Jaly, at Thibodaux. The matter will be
discussed among the members of the Nolan
team tomorrow and reply transmitted to
Mr.. Labauve on Monday. The Morgan
City boys are tip-top players and the Nolans
will find that it requires pluck, luck, skill
end science to defeat them. We hope to see
the proposed match arranged.

Apropos of the defeat of the Goldens by
