Will Play
Tomorrow for a Purse of One Hun
dred Dollars

Tomorrow Sunday u crack Grays
will for the second time this season
meet the Gueydan Grays in an exhibi-
ton of the great national game, and it
is expected that the "big doings" that
are to result therefrom will be a-plenty
and certainly we'll worth the Witness
ing.
Our boys will journey over to Guey-
dan for the occasion, and they feel
confident that they will be able to
again administer to the rice birds of
our sister town another defeat. A
purse of one hundred dollars will
fall to the lot of the winning team,
therefore the players on either side
can be expected to do some good fast
stunts on the Gueydan green to-
morrow, for the prize is one which is
we'll worthy of being stubbornly fought
for.
Fruge, whose reputation as a ball
player is of the very best, will toe the
rubber for the locals. He is said to be
a twirler whose equals in amateur
ranks are few and far between. Escu-
der will, as usual, don the mask
otherwise the team will lineup about
the same as in the previous strug-
gle with the Gueydanites.
a special excursion will be run from
this place for the occasion, leaving
