The Donaldsonville chief. [volume] (Donaldsonville, La.) 1871-current, 1885-06-27

BASE BALL.-One of the most exciting
and best contested games of bail ever
played in Donaldsonville was the match
that took place last Sunday evening, at No
Ian park, between the Fortier and Nolan
clubs of this town. The Fortiers being the
younger dub had the call ON the sympathies
Of a majority Of the spectators, Judging by
the demonstrations on the grand stand at
every good play made by the boys, but the
Nolans we're In nowise disconnected and ex-
hibited the staying qualities for which they
are somewhat noted, defeating their skill
full opponents by the following creditable
score:
F Fo1sns . ......o I o-s
Umpire-Wm. B. Sharp.
Scorers-R. NJ. McCulloh for Nolans. Fred
Landry for Fortiers.
The Fortier Juniors vent from here to
Valenzuela landing, Assumption parish,
last Sunday afternoon, and crossed bats
with the Pr6jeans, BY whom they we're de-
feated in a game that vas creditable to
Fortier Juniors, Z. Umpire, P6rique Go
mez; scorer, ~ Lauve. These clubs will
play again on the Dopaldsonville public
square tomorrow, when the Fortier Jun
iors will make their first appearance in
their new uniforms.
Pincourtville was the scene of q game
between the Chaflet and Regina clubs,
both of Assumption. Only six innings
were played, owing to unfavorable weather
and the desire of players and spectators to
prepare for attending the performance of
the Paincourtville Dramatic Club. The
score was as follows:
R Resinas .''...S 8 Us os
Umpire-A. Aucoin.
Scorer. Marks, Jr.
The Reginas were talking of challenging
the Nolans and we hope their defeat of last
Sunday has not cooled their ambition in
this regard. Donaldscnville has three clubs
now that are ever ready to accommodate all
corners with games-the Nolans, Fortiers
and Fortier Juniors, and we think they
will show about as good IN average at the
end of the season as any other three anna
teur clubs in the State, outside Of New Or
leans.
The Petries of New Orleans visited
Plaquemine last Sunday and defeated the
Vi0uets of that town by score of 10 to 4.
The Hunters Of New Orleans and Ramos
club of Baton Rouge tried to play at the
latter place last Sunday, but got into dis
pute about the umpiring and the Hunters
left the field. The score stood 4 to when
the base ball match was suspended and the
new game of "bucking the umpire" be-
gan.
It looks as if the race for the New Or
leans League championship will be be-
tween the Bachs and the Lees. In the Ma
tional League Chicago and New York are
nip and puck for the first place, with Prov
idence good third. st. Louis has good
lead in the American Association, with
Cincinnati second and Pittsburg third.
The f. Landwehrs of New Orleans will
play the Nolans at this place tomorrow.
and on the following Sunday, the 9Th of
July, the A. A. Bohne's are expected from
the city to meet the Nolans.
The Fortiers expect to leave for Shreve-
port on the last mentioned date to play a
series of three games with the favorite U.
KS. It will be Greek Us. Greek and live
ly tug of war when these clubs meet.

WAR ON Co1oRED WoMEN.-7wo Shooting
ARRAYS II, Assunsption.-On Saturday, the
9th inst, colored woman named Sallie
Aiken was shot and severely wounded by
one George Robinson, on Godchaux's Elm
Hall plantation near Napoleonville. George
and Sallie became involved in dispute the
nature of which we have not learned, and
Sallie vented her anger by drawing a knife
and cutting her antagonist in two or three
places, inflicting slight wounds. George
resorted to the revolver to repel the on
slaught of his Amazonian assailant, and
perforated her cuticle with two bullets. One
struck her in the palm of the hand; the
other bodged in the fundamental region
and has not yet been extracted. The latter
wound is considered serious, but not neces-
sarily fatal. George fled Immediately
after the shooting, and had not been ap-
pretended up to the hour the particulars of
the ARRAY reached the CHIEF.
On the same day young colored woman
was shot to death in Bertranyille, also in
Assumption parish, the deed having been
committed by two colored men whose
names we have not yet learned. According
to the meager particulars at hand to-day,
the woman had promised to-marry one of
her slayers and then went back on the en-
gagement; the Tilted lover vowed he would
kill the faithless damsel on sight, and kept
his word, as he and friend armed them
selves with double barreled shotguns and
