ripe for some such conservative

Locals Meet With Their First
Defeat.
Interesting Gossip of the Nation

The unexpected happened at
the New Iberia Base Ball Park
last Sunday afternoon, when the
reiunevated Franklin ball tossers
succeeded in dong what other
teams and they themselves have
previously failed in doing-and
that is administering decisive
defeat to our champions.
There were but comparatively
few people in attendance who an
ticipated such a result; even the
Franklin fans and rOoters-that
is quite a number them-were
agreeably surprised when their
favorites pounded out a victory at
the expense of breaking the win
nlng streak of Manager Boyle's
champions.
At the same time, there is no
disgrace attached to the defeat of
our boys. They have won eight
successive games and could afford
to lose the ninth; still it is to be
regretted that they put up such
poor exhibition Twas bad
enough the way they played at
Abbeville not a great while since,
but they played rotten ball Sun
day; worse by long odds than at
any time in the past.
On the other hand, the visitors
were at their very best and put
up what may be termed a real
nice, fast exhibition, considering
the fact that they are amateurs.
However, they made themselves
somewhat disagreeable by kick.

contest, walking off the field on

umpire gave them five minutes

to secure the 60 per cent of gate

cussion resumed play.

Franklin maintained the lead

locals made one less than half this

from scoring on more than one
occasion when a little single

penitentiary of Illinois. Arrangements
are now being made by the trustees of che
southern Illinois penitentiary at Chester to
change the garb of ehe inmates of that in
stitution, and within the next few months
the convicts will be clothed in accordance
with the modern idea of prison life.
1t is fact not generally known that the
inmates of the penitentiary at Joliet have
not worn stripes for some time. and the
conduct" grading of clothing has been
found to yield excellent results in the NOR
ais of the Indiana penal institutions.
Following the rules that apply to that
prison., the trustees of the southern peni-
Tertiary will adopt a uniform for the in
mates, although much of the repulsive-
ness that attaches TO the gray and black
will disappear.
The new uniforms will be of two grades
