very pleasing specialties between
acts which alone made quite a hit
and received prolonged applause.
Taken as a whole, the perfor.
nance was very creditable to say
the least and deserved much more
patronage than it received at the
halds of our theatre goers.
While the company cannot be
said to be exceptionally strong, it
is above the average stock organi-
cations. In fact, the company is
a well-balanced one; consisting of
some very clever actors and act
resses; Others are not perhaps A

to the average artists behind the

Base Ball
Iberia's Win from Lafay ette--7
to |.

Sundays ball game was by long
odds the fastest and most intcres-
ting of the 1901 season.
Now Iberia and Lafayette were
the contestants for h0nors on the
green and grassy diamond; in the
presence Of several hundred spec
tators, including delegation from
Lafayette numbering something
like half hundred or more.
Both nIncS played great ball,
Lafayette leading until the eighth
inning when they event i'll the
air. to use a common expression,
allowing the home team to make
seven runs in less time than it
takes to tell
For four innings neither side
scored. In the fourth inning
the visitors succeeded in making
a single run. Then there was
"nothing doing" for either side
until the eighth, when the home
team won out by bringing in seven
runs.
The visitors played great ball
in every respect and for awhile 1t
appeared as though they would
shut out our home team. How
ever, in the eight inning they
went to pieces; making numerous
costly errors, wild throws and
dumb plays practically present
ing the locals the contest. Other
wise the contest was one of the
finest amateur exhibitions seen on
the local diamond in long while.
The locals were eight there
with the goods" and did some
'stunts" that would have done
credit to semi.professionals.
They played the game for all it
was worth and were rewarded by
capturing the contest-this being
their third straight victory over
the Lafayette boil tossers.
Both twiriers-Terrell for the
locals-and DonahOe for the Wis
itors-W Were in fine form and did
some exc ptionally fine work
the former having something like
fifteen strike-OIts to the latter
almost dozen.
There were some changes in the
line up of the home team. Cap
tain Leblanc was somewhat un
well and Cordova caught Dupuy
played right field in place of II.
PatOut; Chivers occupied center
and Flory left. Terrell, Boyle,
Lourd and Jennaro were in their
usual positions.
Roscoe Sealey made his debute
with the Iberia's; being assigned
to replace S Patout at third. He
played a nice game; is fast on his
feet; picks up nicely and throws
to first even better than the aver.
age amateur. He is weak at the
bat, however, but shows some
little improvement in this respect
of late and will undoubtedly hold
his own with little more practice.
