BASE BALL.--The Nolans and Fortiers
played an exciting game on the Nolan
green last Sunday afternoon, the Nolans
proving the winners by the neat score of 10
to 7, as follows:
Nolans,. ..,.......2 Q 20
The batteries were Burke and Castaigne
pitchers and Fortier catcher for the de-
feated team, Bentley pitcher and Wutke
catcher for the winners. There was some
bad mufhng displayed on both sides, some
effective batting and considerable tanning
of the air with the ash and willow without
reversing the direction in which the ball
travelled after leaving the pitchers hand.
The same clubs play again tomorrow. The
Fortiers are developing even more strength
and skill than their friends had anticipated,
and as the season progresses they will doubt
less continue to improve and will give the
Nolans tight race for the local cham
pionship.
The first game of the league series in
New Orleans was played by the Brennans
and Stars and the latter we're defeated by
% to 16.
John Berkery Of New Orleans has gone
to Shreveport to pitch for the Osceola club.
This indicates lively base ball season in
the Red river metropolis and Donaldson
vile boys will view the prospect with pleas
ure. The Shreyeporters must redeem their
promise to visit US, as our ball tossers are
anxious to face them again on the diamond
field

FLATBoAr SuNK.-During the storm of
Tuesday last fatboat named Uncle Jake,
belonging to Messrs. Balsby & Hardwick
and moored against the left bank of the
river at the pecan grove short distance
above DarrowvilIe, was swamped and sunk

was loaded with nearly 1900 bushels of
corn in the ear, which is reported to have
been insured for almost its full value.
There were two young men on the boat
when it began sinking, and they made a
vigorous effort to avert the disaster by hard
work at the pumps, but the water gained
on them rapidly and the Uncle Jake disap-
peared beneath the surface of the river
about o'clock in the afternoon, two hours
subsequent to the discovery that the craft
was laundering,
