Remarkable Double-Headera at Cleveland
Park Last sunday-Both flames
Tied-New Roads
Tomorrow.

The double eader at Cleveland
Pard last Sunday afternoon was wit
messed by nearly $500 enthusiasts and
proved the most remarkable exhibit
bition OF its kind ever witnessed here,
both games resulting in ties after nine
fast innings had been played in each
contest.
The Whitecastle Greys and Donald
sonVille Blues hooked up first with
Qondolf and Hochenedel as the OPP
posing twirlers. The visitors put one
run across the plate in the second
inning on two hits, an error and
felder's choice, and added two more
in the seventh on a base on balls, an
error, a fielder's choice and hit. In
the eighth the Greys tailed twice
and tied the score, after which there
was nothing doing, in the run-getting
line for either side.
Three blue clad runners trotted
across the rubber in the fifth inning as
result of four errors, stolen base, a
hit, sacrifice and a base on balls,
and in the seventh the locals annexed
two more tallies after slamming out
three hits and causing their opponents
to execute a bobble.
Features Of the game were two fast
double plays executed by the locals
and the umpiring of Wills, who not
only gave good decisions, but showed
refreshing determination in handling
those players who were inclined to
"beef" on the slightest provocation.
The score book looked like this at
the conclusion of the struggle:

The Plaquemine Maroons and Ma

the struggle was a battle royal, as
might have been expected. Lefe5vre,
Plaquemine' twirler, caused nineteen
of the Assumptionites to fan the air
and allowed only four hits, but the
support accorded him was of the punk
variety, Ed. Wilbert at second being
the chief offender. Talbot, who did
the deceiving for the Napoleonville
aggreg alton, was equally effective,
and although he registered but four
strike outs, kept the hits we'll scattered
and pulled himself out of several tight
places by excellent head-work. His
support was gilt-edged, and had it not
been for dumb play in the ninth in
ming, followed by run of hard luck,
the bayou boys would have walked of
the field with another scalp dangling
at their belts. Dudley Weber, second
baseman of the Blues, officiated as
umpire and gave general satisfaction.
The score by innings was as follows:
