Yesterday evening Centenary played
a double header with the L. S. y. team
and broke even, the first game going to
the L. S. U. S to o, and the second to
Centenary 10 to 2. The fielding on both
sides was good, and some brilliant plays
were made. Wilson was the star yes
terday. pitching both games. The first
was lost 5 to o, but it was hard luck for
Wilson as he only allowed six hits. In
the second game he allowed only three
hits and struck out II men. This game
was won by Centenary 10 to 2. Wilson
deserved shut out but an error made
after two men were out let in two runs
and saved the L. S. u. a shut out. By
the games he has pitched for Centenary
Wilson has shown that he is the star
pitcher of the Centenary team. He has
pitced good game every time he has
been sent in, and the games have been
lost by errors on the part of his team
mates.
This afternoon Centenary team plays
the Louisiana College from Pineville.
They have good team and an interest
ing contest is expected
There was better crowd out to see
the game yesterday and more enthusi-

game. Centenary has lost money on the
games played so far as they are under
heavy expense to bring these teams here,
and the crowds have been so small that
they have not made expenses.
