Base Ball.

Those who iourneyed to Haydel's
Park last Sunday to witness the game
between Laplace and Lucy saw the for,
mers kalsomine the latters by score OF
2 to 0, and enjoyed one of the fastest
game played this season on the local
diamond. Too much cannot be said OF
the all-round good playing of Laplace
boys. especially to Cotton Top Kugler,
the locals slab artist, who let down his
opponents to one measly hit which did
not count for anything as to run getting
and struck ont eleven of the heavy hit
ting boys from Lucy. He was in first
condition and had marvellous control and
speed and didn't walk one man. Catcher
Landry's usual fast work behind the bat
did not allow single visitor to reach
second base during the whole game.
The game was snappy and full of
ginger from beginning to end and was
marked with brilliant plays by both teams.
The battery work Of both teams was the
feature OF the game. It was pitchers
battle in which the locals had the better
end.
To:mofrow. at the same. park, tl,s
iccl ill ueet - sErone ANA team of
ST. Charles parish. Judging from the
visitors battery: Martin and Keller. the
game viii be interesting. As there is
no game at Garyville tomorrow. we ex-
pect to see big crowd of enthusiastic
fans at the park.
At Gold Mine Park. tomorrow, at
$50 p. m., game will be played be-
tween the fast Lucy team and the re-
doubtable Ducth Bayou boys. Fleck-
niger and Madere will compose the bat
terry for Lucy while Tircult and Moutz
win act in the same capacity for Ducth
Bayou.
