The same clubs will play again to-mor-
row for a stake of 800, and a red hot con-
test may be looked for.
The sole drawback to last Sundays game
was the disposition Of some Of the players
to " kick against the decisions of the UNI
pre-. This sort of thing does no earthly
good, MS no umpire who understands his
business will change his judgment because
it doesn't suit the ideas Of Il player or
spectator, and sluabbling and disputiEg
only serves to delay the game and disgust
the people who pay their entrance fee to
see ball played, not to listen to unprofit-
able talking matches. We are pleased to
hear that the managers and captains Of the
local clubs have agreed to enforce the rule
strictly in the future that none but them
selves shall have the privilege of talking to
or at the umpire, and this determination will
undoubtedly do much towards increasing
the enjoyment and popularity of the
national game hero. The current season
| promises to be exceptionally brilliant and
successful, and all who are interested
ought to cooperate in the endeavor to in
crease public interest in the attractive and
manly sport.
We take pleasure in noting the reorgan-
ization of the popular Charlet Base Ball
Club of Assumption, with the following
fine list Of officers and players: S. Klotz,
Manager; E. A. Lauve, Captain and catch
er; T. S. Lauve, pitcher; A. Aucoin, first
baseman; o. Guiiiot, second baseman: C.
Templet, third baseman; L. Marquet, short
stop: Fl. Lauve, left fielder; A. Simoneaux,
centre fielder; O. Landry, right fielder; G.
I. Hebert, G. Triche, A. L. Iueh and A
Tempiet, substitutes:
The first match of the Chaslsts will be
played next Saturday at Painconrtvilie,
with the Fortiers of DonaldsopvilIe, and
an endeavor will be made to get the AS
sumption boys to cross bats with the Lees
at Cleveland Park the day following.
The Fortiers go to Plaguemine on Sun
day, June 6, to play the Viguets. Its not
yet decided whethef the trip will be luaae
by rail or the steamer Letcher chartered
for the occasion. 1t matters not how they
go, we feel confident the home club will
como back with one more victory added to
their record.
The base ball editor of the Ihervi!le South
was very much "off in his account of the
game of Sunday before last between the
Viguets and Lees. He attributed the vic
tory of the Lees to series of unaccount-
able errors on the part Of the Viguets in
the SECOND inning. whereas the score shows
that five of the nine runs made by the Don
aldsonvil!e boys in that inning we're earned.
Out of their total of eleven runs the Lees
earned six, whereas only two of the Vi
guet's ten we're earned. This is sufficient to
indicate to any one who understands the
game which side profted more by the er-
rors Of the opposition. OF course, the
South is excusable for leaning towards its
home club and placing the games in as IA
vorable light for them as possible, but it
is scarcely courteous or fair towardSa Wis
iting nine to eharaeterizea victory Won by
hard knocks and good playing ae gift of
buagling competitors. Be just, neighbor,
whether you choose to be generous or not.
The New Orleans Picoyune and Times
Democrat printed ridiculousIy incorrect
reports OF last Sundays Donaldsonville
game. Both papers announced that, the
Frasiers defeated the Lees to ! and the
Pic. made confusion more -confounded by
stating that O'Neil and Wartman--the For
tier ba:tery--were the battery of the Lees,
aud that Bastag and Burtkes' filled a
corresponding position in the Eortier team,
referring presumably to Burke and Both
ner. the Lee battery. The real score, as
above given. was / to in favor of the For
tiers. i our boys played Only for aotoriety
through the New Orleans press they would
be sadly left.
The Waters and New Orleans clubs had
fine game in New Orleans last Sgndag-
score, to in eleven innings.
