The ball game at Bogalusa
Sunday between Franklinton and
and the team of that town, was a
farce. The Franklinton bunch
took an ascension in the early
stages of the game and did not
reacl,, the earth until long after
the game was over. Gee! butt
our boys made a poor showing.
We felt really surprised that any
one should accuse US of having a
ball team by the time the game
had we'll gotten under Roadway.
Franklinton, if you expect to
play ball get some ball players
and if you can't get them make
some. You have some good
material if you will take hold of
it und train it right. Score:
