The Donaldsonville chief. [volume] (Donaldsonville, La.) 1871-current, 1883-09-29

New orleans arrived mere by the morning
train, last Sunday, and were met at the
depot by the officers and several members
of the Nolan club and escorted to the Lee
Hotel, where they were entertained as the
guests of Manager Lafargue during their
stay. The game of ball in the afternoon
was witnessed by a large crowd of people,
1873 of whom paid % cents each for the priv
ilege of sitting on the seats recently erected
| by the Nolans for the accommodation of the
public on such occasions. The match was
one-slded in the extreme, the score showing
80 to in favor Of the Brennans at the close
of the ninth inning. The home club did
not play any thing like its usual game, while
the sk1liful curve pitching of Landry and
| the heavy batting of the Brennan sluggers
placed their opponents at very great dis
advantage. Cook had his hand split while
playing behind the bat during the seventh
inning, and Nick Brennan, the genial sec
ond baseman of the city team, took the
place of the disabled Nolan player for the
remainder Of the game. The champions
played their hardest, and it was only by a
few good base-hits that the Nolans were
able to score run in the first and second
innings. Mr.. Jno. Eisgen umpired the
game in a very acceptable manner, and Mr..
R. McCulloh acted as scorer. AS the score
sheet was taken to New Orleans by the
Brennans and an incorrect and garbled
transcript thereof published in the city pa
pers, we are unable to give the score in
detail. The Brennans expected to get away
at 4:25 Monday morning, but the train was
delayed eight hours by an accident to the
Atchafalaya incline, and did not arrive until
about l o'clock. According to the New
Orleans Times-De02ocTat some of the party
complained that they We're not Hospitality
received here, whereas they had been led to
expect quite an ovation, and that none of
put III an appearance at the hotel after the
game. These statements are neither truth
full or in good taste. No unusually ornate
or enthusiastic reception had been prom
icCi tliSIii3 t1tIl tic tilduLIGElIGU statement
that q ball was to be given in their honor
was complete surprise to the Donaldson
vile players, as no such entertainment was
practicable or contemplated. Mr.. Lafargue,
the proprietor of the hotel where the visi
tors were entertained, is manager OF the
Nolan club and was at home during all the
time the Brennans stopped at his house.
During Sunday evening the captain and all
the six players Of the Nolan nine who live
Ill town were at the hotel, and they all de-
rived the impression that most of the visi-
tors showed little wish Or disposition to be
entertained, seeming to prefer the company
and conversation Of their own party to that
of others. We regret that such a question
should have been preached at all, but since
members of the Brennan party have seen
{ to lrrS f,s saI7blicity to the complaint noted
e think it but faiG- .I Iltsat its erroneous
ature should be made known. The Nddttsa2nS
IN readily sympathize with the weary wait
the Brennans at the depot, for our boys
ad similar experience at Alexandria last
Ill; but we do not think q single member
the Nolan nine was cognizant of the fact
lat their visitors had not cot away early in
Ie morning. We certainly did not hear of
ie1r delay until late in the afternoon.
