In the first inning the visitors failed
to make a run, although the first man
up lined out pretty single and was
advanced as far as the third bag.
In their half of the fourth, four
| Iberians crossed the home plate. This
was good start and it began to look
like another victory for the home
boys,
In the second, Plaquemine made
their first run, following it up with
two runs in the fourth In the fifth
inning they did some terrific batting
and before they let up they added five
more runs to their credit in short
order.
Up to this time Hayden was on the
| firing line for the locals. But being
hit so freely, Notwithstanding his
speed and curves, Stewart was sui
stituted, Hayden going TO third
bag.
Stewart was touched for over a
dozen hits the first inning he pitched,
singles and doubles galore, which
netted the hard hitting visitors eleven
runs. This inning lasted for about
twelve or fifteen minutes, and the
spectators becoming disgusted with
| the one-sided exhibition left the
grounds.
After bringing in four runs in the
first, there was nothing doing for
our boys until the seventh innings
when they brought in another
| run. And in their final inning at bat
one more run was added to their
credit.
After the sixth, the Maroons made
no more runs. although quite num-

handsome Frank is now in old-time

Tuesdays game proved to be a genu-

season.

would be made, but fast work by the
outfelders at opportune times pre-
vented such.

DEATH OF THOMAS COLES.


The sudden death Of Thomas Coles,
youngest son of James Coles, Hawley-
vile, at Milford, Mass, was a great
shock to his parents as we'll as the COM
munity. No one knew of his illness
until a telegram arrived on Sunday
summoning his parents to his side.
They were met by another telegram
telling them to come no further as he
had died. The body was brought on
by his sister and husband to Hawley-
vile, arriving on Monday night with
a number of his late friends. Mr. and
Mrs Coles have the warmest Sympath
of every one, in this hour of trial,
as it is much harder to lose their chill
dren when the infrmities of age place
them where they naturally look to
their children for comfort and help in
time OF need. The deceased was a

fdence Of his acquain tances.
The hay crop is proving quite dis

Some fields are deep red, giving
them a very pleasing appearance as
well as furnishing an excellent crop of
hay; full two-thirds of the crop is har-
vested.
