gThe vrent national vame

TsA-kASK
The great national game OF
ball IL one of the most fascinating
and enthusiastic games over which
Americans perspire, especially so
when the game ia hotly contested
and the winners receive all that
belongs to them. Honor aud man
hood should In every case control
the game. The game played last
Sunday and Monday at Morgan
City by the Iberia's aud Morgan
City team was an exhibition Of the
grossest partiality aud injustice,
the game resulted in a score of 7
to 4 In favor of Morgan City team.
Mondays game was even worse
aud was brought to close by our
city team refusing to accept the
decisions of the umpire, who was
so plainly unjust that 1t was i'm.
possible for any player to expect
any decision that would operate
against the Morgan City team.
Aud no amount of good playing
can ever score u success by any
outside team SO long as the pre-
sent umpire is allowed to decide
the numerous points that come up.
We would advise all teams to steer
clear Of that place aud hold their
games where justice aud fairlniud-
edness prevail This kick is not
registered on account of the sting
Of defeat, all honorable men can
suffer aud bear honorable defeat,
but when victory is snatched from
their very hands, 1t is time to call
a halt.
Finch sets at Enterprise Store.
