BLUES WIN.
Napoleonville Reds Handed a Lemon in
First Game of the season-Chal-

first Ga1ne OF the SeaSOn-Sh91-
mettes Tomorrow.
The baseball season was formally
opened in Donaldsonville last Sunday
afternoon with game between abe
Donaldsonyille Blues and Napoleon
vile Reds, the home team winning out
in easy fashion by a score OF 5 to 2.
Features of the contest were the
pitching of Cogneyich, who allowed
the Reds only two measly hits and
chalked up twelve strike.outs; corking
three baggers by Dudley Weber and
Wills, and a pretty double play ex-
ecuted by Center Fielder Harry Weber
and First Raseman Dudley Weber, all
of the Blues, For the visitors, Gil
bert, Gauthier and Barton were the star
performers.
The locals made four errors and the
Assumptionites five, both of the runs
scored by the Reds and at least two of
the five TALES registered by the Blues
having resulted from these hobbies.
On the whole, however, the game was
we'll played and proved a reasonably
fast and interesting exhibition, giving
entire satisfaction to the large crowd
which witnessed it.
The score by innings was as follows:
BLUES 2 O. o Is
Hits . 0 8 0 o. e
REDS % 0 0 0 0 o. 2
Batteries: Cognevich and Wills, Gilbert and
Gui1lot.

Tomorrow the Blues will tackle the
we'll known Chalmettes of New Orleans,
and a red-hot game is looked for. The
laundrymen defeated the fast White
castle team Sunday before last by
score OF, to ;, and are coming to
Donaldsonville with the avowed in
tention of wiping up the earth with the
locals. The Blues are confident of
their ability to show the eity boys a
thing or two about the national game,
however, and it is one best bet that
the mfN-afe will be fast and furious
and well worth coLss 80 long distance
to see. On Sunday, April IS. the Do
Gals will go to Napoleonville to take
another fall out of the decrepit Reds
