CARDINALS CAPTURE TWO GAMES.
st. MartinYille Defeated in Two Bit
terry Fought Contests.

Local baseball fans were given an
| unSual treat this week. The two games
scheduled between St. Martinville and
Welsh to determine baseball suprema-
Cy in southwest Louisiana OccasiOned
large crowds of lovers of that fascinat-
ing game to be present. Having been
victorious in each game Welsh now
ranks among the best amateur teams
in the state.
The rain of Monday morning made
the ground extremely heavy, and in
fact, the diamond at the ball park was
in no condition and that afternoons
game was played on the ground at near
the section house. J. Il. Jones
was placed in the box in Mondays
game and Tom Jones was delegated
TO do the receiving for Welsh. The
visitors also had strong battery.
Although little wild, Jones twirled u
superb game of ball, striking out four
teen batsmen, while nine of the locals
died at the home plate as a result OF
their failure to solve the benders of
the visiting pitcher. Both teams
played Splendidly in both the in and
OuttieldS, the latter especially accept
ing every chance that came their way.
BY superior batting Welsh succeeded
in making nine runs and st. Martin
vile 4.
The grounds had dried sufficiently
for the second game to be played al
the park and crowd of nearly 800
rOOters assembled to witness the con-
test. Martin and DelahOuSSaye were
the opposing slab artists and in point
OF strike-Outs hOnOrS were equally d.
vided, each striking out eight men,
but the support accorded Martin was
the kind that is required to win. The
visitors also put up good fielding
game, in fact it was suicidal for a
Welsh batter to attempt to make first
on fly ball, for there was always a
fielder under it no matter in which
direction it was knocked, but they
were unable to handle some of the hot
grOunders of the Welsh sluggers.
Welsh played an errorlesS game and
several phenomenal plays were made.
j. r. Jones caught for Welsh and his
work resembled that of a professional,
his throw to second and retiring the
side after mut1ing the ball being one
Of the features of the game. BY
launching hits and daring base run
ming Welsh managed to score six
runs, while the visitors failed to get a
single man across the plate.
During their two days stay here the
St. Martinville boys, by their gentle
manly conduct, won the admiration of
both ball players and rooters, and
Tuesday night a ball was given in
Martins hall in their honor. In the
event they should again come to
Welsh, Manager Durant and his ball
tossers will be accorded most hearty
welcome and another game between
the two teams will command a large
attendance.

Texans Opinion of Welsh Oil.

Interesting in connection with the
recent developments in the Welsh oil
field is the estimate that William
Howard, of the Colorado refinery at
Port Artaur places upon its value.
"Welsh has had good oil for a
year or more, but the operators have
not been able to do much with it. I
have refined two samples of this oil
in small way and should like to re-
fine carload of it if I could get 1t
free from mud and water. The oil is
pumped out of the wells in the form OF
yellow emulsion of mud, water and
oil.
II am informed that every known
device for separating the water from
the oil has been tried without success.
My own experience with this oil leads
me to believe that nothing short of
actual dlstlIlatlOn will separate the
water from the oil.
Apart from the water and mud, the
Welsh oil contains about 30 per cent
OF aSphaltum and about 40 per cent of
lubricating oil Of all grades. The
rest is gas oil. There is no gasoline
or Illuminating oil. The first of the
diStillate to come through the con-
denser has a specific gravity of 30 de-
grees. On a second distillation this
5ldegree oil might give a small per-
Centage of Illuminating oil, but there
would be no profit in making it."

BOCORSELSKl CASE
POSTPONED TO MARCH 81

Hearing on the petition Of Herman
BOcorseIski to gain possession of his
siX-year-old daughter Edna, who IS in
the care and custody of her mother,
Barbara Bocorselslzi, was today again
postponed. The matter was called UP
before Chief Justice Clabaugh. and on
the statement made by Joseph D.
Wright, her counsel, the hearing was
postponed until March 81
Mr. Wright said to the court that Mrs
Rocorselsl1's younger child is at home
suffering from a severe attack Of mea-
sles. He offered the certificate Of the
attending physician in support of this
assertion. In addition TO this, Mr.
Wright informed Chief Justice Clabaugh
that he had a talk with the physician
this morning and the latter told him
that the child was also threatened with
pneumonia.
Mrs. BocOrselsBi and her child Edna
were in court.
Counsel for the father made a strors,
protest against a pOstpOnemeut Of the
hearing. Chief Justice Clabaugh. how
ever, said that under the circumstances
IT would be almost inhuman to force
the mother TO remain in court away
from her sick child. when no harm
would be done by delay of a few

Alaskan matters were considered to-
day by the Senate Committee on Ter

were ordered reported favorably, two
unfavorably. and one was stiu under
consideration when the committee ad-

Favorable reports were ordered on
Senate bill 1919. providing for the ap-
pointment Of road overseers in Alaska
and on House bill 1870, to extend the
time for the completion of the Western
Alaska Construction Company's rail-
road. Announcement was made that the
company had already constructed ten
miles of road at an expense of $500 OOO
and that the work is progressing salts
factorily but cannot be completed within
the time formerly specified
Unfavorable reports were ordered on
Senate resolution 81 to extend the time
for the completion of the Akron, Ster-
Ling and Northern Railroad in Alaska,

White House when Webster was there,
whether he would support the Nebraska
mar for Vice President.
Cant do it," said Mr.. Kean. I'm
pledged to Fairbanks. I've claimed his

declares. however. that Summers will
