NINE IN A ROW.
The ST. Paul Team Is Dying by
Inches.

The st. Paul Team Is Dying by
Inches.
The Minneapolis ball team again had
an infinite amount of amusement at the
expense of the nine tossers from st.
Paul, and won the third easy game,
hands down, while 800 spectators APP
plauded the brilliant points made in the
field and at the bat by the local team.
Twice did the Apostles succeed in fill
ing the bases with no one out, and the
first time they were retired with only
one run, while the second time a brill
liant triple play sent them to the bench.
In the seventh, after having made a
lucky series of four runs,and just when
they were in haillng distance of the
Millers. Murphy, Halves and DAILY. the
crack runners of the Apostolic team,
were Oh the bases. Phillips came to bat
and hit hot liner to Myers. The little
star held it fast, and, touching the bag,
pat out Murphy, who had led
off. Halves sprinted back for second,
but Hengle made dash, caught Myers
thrown ball, and touched the ST. Paul
giant before he reached the sack. 1t
was one of the quickest plays ever seen
on the ground. Myers was given an
ovation. In the fourth, Farmer hit a
line ball just too high for Myers to
reach. 1t went sailing out into left
with wide curve toward the foul line.
but with a great burst of speed Carroll
followed it. and reaching out his arm,
nipped with one hand what looked safe
for two bases. Abbey. the next man to
bat, raped high one nearly against
the fence, but Carrol's fingers were in
the way and it fell in them. Myers.
Miller and Minnehan carried off the
batting honors with hard hits for two
sacks and home runs, just in
the right place. Hudson was al
most invincible at critical points, the
four runs scored in the fifth by st. Paul
being chiefly due to errors. Minneap-
oils put plenty of spirit into the game
and st. Paul took a little brace and tried
to make things interesting. Hurst was
late, and Meekin umplred the first part
of the game in an impartial manner.
Bauswine, who in the last game he
pitched was an enigma to the locals,
Nas easy prey, being hit for seventeen
jases with total of twenty-SiX, every
man in the team getting at least a hit.
Tomorrow the Milwaukee team, which
is playing a hard, steady game, will
appear against the Minneapolis nine,
and a close and exciting contest is
looked for. The score of yesterdays
WalkaWaY follows:

SACRAMENTO, CAL, June 19.-Attor-
ney General Johnson has addressed
letter to the governor in reply to the
latter's recent communication in regard
to the contests between professional
pugilists, as given in several athletic
clubs of San Francisco. The attorney
general joins the governor in character
izing these exhibitions as disgraceful.
He says they are contrary to the provis-
ions of the penal code; that the state
law has made such exhibitions felony,
and that the municipal license is no
protection. The attorney general as
Sures the governor that he will notify the
prosecuting officers under him that any
action on their part to suppress the
grievance will receive his sanction and
cooperation, to the end that the laws
may be maintained and enforced in the
spirit in which they were enacted.

Some Statistics.

Statistics are great things and lt If
said that figures do not lie, but tile man
ner in which our esteemed cohtelhp"-
rary, the Echo, arrives at the total pop
ulat,on of Lake Charles is certainly one
of the most remarkable statistical pro-
ductions we have ever seen. For IN
stance it says: "Males, wlite-city, II
1O1, ward, SS4 total, 1885," 1t places
in a column tie males and females, white
and colored, one Indian, the voters
those not naturaized and all the chli-
dren, then gives the sum OF that COZ
ump as the total population of Lake
Charles. OF whom DO the voters con
sist, if not Of the males, white ana col
oradq Who constitute the white males
If NOT portion of the voters, the whlte
male children and the foreignersF II
seems that about the only portion OF the
nonulation not counted in twice are tht
crown females and the disfranchlset
males.
According to this method Of compu
tatlon, the population Of Lake Charle'
could have been very largely Increased
by still further classifying the people,
thus: there should have been given the
number Of persons belonging to eacl
church, the number OF Free Masons
the Farmers Unionists, those employed
in the saw mills, those engaged IN mer
camille pursuits, the number or pretty
girls. the old bachelors, and so on, al
infnitum. n,
According to our method Of calcula
tion, we would, from the Echo's figures
place the population OF Lake Charles
at 1880, the number of males and fe
males, white and colored, and one In
dian. instead of 1886 as given by tn
Echo.
Perhaps our esteemed contemporary
did not intend the "males and females
white aud colored, to include the chill
dren; he may regard the latter as
separate class Of beings.

The total vote cast was $40; tho hrst
seven having received the highest num-
Der of votes were declared elected.
The ticket, as elected, is first-class in
every respect, and the interests of our
town could not have been placed in bet
ter hands. For the first time in many
years the people Of Opelousas have
elected Il Board of Police composed en-
tirely of white citizens, men who are
above reproach and whom no one can
charge as having axes to grind or put
up Jobs to push through st the expense
Of the taxpayers.
At their first meeting the new Board
will elect Mayor, Constable. Collector,
Treasurer and other minor officers, and
it is to be hoped that their deliberations
will result in the selection OF good, efh-
cieut officers who will prove as accepta-
bic to the masses as are the muDlclpai
officers who were elected on Monday
| last.
AS they are all public spirited men
| who have at heart the welfare or the
town, We have no doubt but that they
will soon take steps looking to the i'm
proyement Of our streets and sidewalks,
especially the latter, which, we are sorry
ia sav, are IN Il fearful condition. and
also that they will confer with the Po-
lice Jury with reference to the boring of
| that long talked-of arteslan well.
