Knob|och Wins
His Own Came
Sid. Knobloch, the local twirler. now
holds amateur record for pitching,
striking out twenty two men in nine
innings, twenty three in ten.
Not only throws ball and fields position,
but wins with. the willow tying score
and bringing in winning run.
Game goes ten innings and although full
OF errors exciting nevertheless.

Last Sunday a good crowd wit
messed one of the prettiest games
of the season. Although replete
with errors, it was exciting and in
teresting, and what is more sur
prising is the close score, despite
the numerous errors. The locals
were a bit handicapped not having
their regular team, there being
several substitutes, hence the team
work was not what it should have
been. Sid. Naquin held down first
and played good game, only be-
ing chalked with one or two errors,
Boudreaux at second was not him
self, but was pretty handy with the
willow, Preieant at third played his
usual good game, Two tree Bou-
dreaux at short fumbled several
good ones and evidently had his
mind at home, he was in the game
however and added ginger. Tros-
clair, Naquin and -Ledet in the
ouifieid accepted all chances, but
were given very few. Deme Kno-
bloch back of the bat was steady,
threw well to second and played as
we'll as he did when he was in his
prime, no bases being taken on pass
balls. Sid. Knobloch, the puzzling
twiler, pitched good ball after the
first inning, when with two hits and
two On bases, errors scored one run.
Several times the bases were filled
and no one out, but no one scored.
He struck out eleven men in five
innings, twenty two in nine and
twenty three in ten, giving him the
amateur record, and breaking the
best record by two, twenty being
the most struck outin nine innings,
previous to this. He not only pit
ched phenomenal ball but was
good with the willow. Deme Kno-
BLOCH. Prejeant, Ledet, Trosclalr,
Claude Naquin, two Boudreauxs
and Sid Khobloch, getting long
drives. Sid. Knobloeh Tailed the
run in the eighth inning that ued
the scoreand got the hit tallying the
run that won the game in the
tenth. Several times the locals
had the bases filled with runners
and no men out, but hard luck and
good pitching on the part of Dubuc
of the visitors retired the side, and
prevented them from scoring. The
locals secured eight hits, mostly
scattered, while the visitors got four.
The locals are charged with nine
errors while the visitors had six,
none as costly as the locals. With
out errors the score might have
been one or two to nothing for the
locals. The score by innings is as
follows -

SOMETHING DOING
IN TERREBONNE,
Police Jury refuses to reduce assessment
on marsh lands in that parish, which
are assessed at one dollar.
Interests owning lands appear before
body In an endeavor to have assessment
reduced.
Total assessment OF our sister
parish will amount to five millions
or over.

The assessor in the Parish OF
Terrebonne has increased the as
sesment on the marsh lands from
twenty five and thirty cents per
acre to one dollar. The Police
Jury last week sitting as Board OF
Review went over the rolls and ac--
cepted the assessments, which show
Something like five millions or over
as total. Owners of the marsh
lands appeared before the body
with a view to having them reduce
the assessment from one dollar, if
not to the old rate, at least less
than now assessed, but no decrease
was granted and the roll was ac-
cepted, the increase remaining.
The only recourse now will be
to the Board of Equalization,
which willin all pro bability either
maintain or further increase the
assessment. If lands are worth
anything, one dollar an acre is
little or nothing, if assessed for
less then they are certainly not
worth having. The Board of
Eq qualization under present con-
jitions is,as we have always said,
superfuous, ridiculous and abso-
iutely unessential land is one of
the greatest sinecures in Lcui
siana-the hothed of sinecures.
The Police Jury also Insisted
that Train No. 10, a fast train,
should stop at Schriver, bet Mr..
Schakelford representing the South
ern Pacific, told the body it could
not be done and instead Houma
would be given an extra train in
the afternoon to meet No. l leaving
New Orleans at three, just as we
have now.
The Catholics of Algiers are hor-
rified over the act of burglar who
entered The church at that place
last Sunday night and scattered the
sacred host all over the place be-

ums, valued at three hundred dol
lars each.

Lively Times In
General Assembly
The income tax, the source OF much
trouble on the political sea at Baton
Rouge.
The House favors the tax while the senate
would leave it to the people.
Governor and Speaker of House on OPP
posing sides and charges made and re-
futed.

There were lively times al
Baton Rouge last week and more
are promised. The bone of con.
tentiol is the income tax law. II
was enacted by Congress and
must be su admitted to the Legis-
latures of the different states of
the Union, il ratified by two
thirds it will become law. The
House favored the bill and pas
sed it, then it went TO the Senate,
where it was tackled with an
amend ment submitting it to the
people. Going back to the House
thus plastered they turned it
down and favored ratifying the
law without amendment. Dur
ing the process of voting down
the Senate amendment, charges
were made by Representative
Atkinson of Lincoln, he charged
that the opposition to the bill was
due to the com bined forces of
Governor Sanders and Hunter c..
Leake of the Illinois Central
Railroad, and that they were
responsible for present condi-
tions. The question was then
discussed.
Speaker Of the House, Hon.
Garland Dupre, favors the
amendment and the House stood
with him. Governor Sanders op-
poses it and says if it is submit
ted to the people he will take the
stump againstit. Senator Foster
is for it and together with Gar
land Dupre, Gov. Sanders will
have two men opposing him, ,as
they are going to speak for it,
What the outcome will be is not
known at this writing, but lively
times are expected to continue
at the state capital. The trouble
seems to be that the measure is
a Democratic measure, but it was
submitted by a Republican Con
gress, and according to some that
appears TO taint it, while others
favor it. We have but to watch
and see, but since it is up to the
Legislature, we do not see why
they should dodge or force it on
the people.

New Iberia had on its opposing
clothes good and strong last week.
The business men first had a meet
ing and opposed the law proposing
a tax on fire insurance premiums
for the purpose of creating fund
to assist disabled fremen. The OBJ
lection being that this would tend
to increase already high rates. The
petition was numerously signed
and forwarded to the Legislature.
The next opposition stunt was
a mass meeting opposing the
repeal or amendment in any way
of The Locke Law, prohibiting
racing and gam bling in the state.
The sentiment of the meeting
being, that if the law were re-
pealed or amended in any way
that Iberia would cast its vote
against the proposed constitu-
tional amendment for the Pana-
ma Exposition at New Orleans:
This is very drastic means OF
making threat, but We do not
know but what it might be right
after all. New Orleans is not the
only place concerned in racing
in New Orleans. If the people
in that city do not cease attemp-
ting to bring back gam bling or
racing they will find themselves
the losers. The action of New
iberia is bound TO be followed
else where, although 1T may not
be previously threatened. Some
who oppose the tax will use TINS
as an excuse for voting against
