Big Six" we wager to say,
is the only amateur pitcher that
could have won the game. Twice
the bases were full, once with
one down. Two runs were cut
off at the plate which gives some
idea of the constant danger the
Bankers were in. Tt was, fact
is, anyone's game till the last
man was out in the 9Th. Brown
and the &c. o.. M as well as
'Injun'' got many chances in
the infield. The Wee Cap''
grabbed off a grounder Of the
frafazee kind and saved Big
Six" in the seventh. He felded
the ball with just the dash and
swing that throws the stand into
near-fits. Incidently, he was the
Captain, and for a little man be
can register the biggest kick of
any one on earth.
The Opelousas infield was so
fast as 3 whole, that we viii
have to hang toe weightson them
if the keep it up.

game, calling off the Monday en-

Big Six" Bordelon opened
against Lake Charles, and of
course won with ease-score13
to 8. He was in trouble but
once, having the bases full with
one down. The team work was
brilliant here, two runs being
cut off at the plate and not a
man crossed the rubber.
Brown grabbed the second
game handily-gaye but FIVE hits
and did not issue a pass. This
game also added to the laurels Of
the team, Brown was a surprise
and next year should be able to
carry his share of the load.
o! YOU RAYNE!
The Bankers moved on to
Rayne Saturday morning for the
opening in the afternoon. They
had two to their credit and they
wanted this one, which would in
sure 500 per cent if they lost the
others.
Walden was given the mound
and he helped himself to every
thing else. He let them down
with one hit and a saratch. By
the grace of two cratic plays,
one by the Wee Captain and
the other by Walden himself,
Rayne managed to score one run
II their half Of the first, this ty-
ing the run made by Broussard
whose homer (made hg driving
the ball over the right lid fence
after two Wers down and two
strikes on hin) was the spectac-
alar stunt Of the day. Up to
this time Rayne and 0pelousas
were tied as to the number sf
games won; so the feelings Of
the Rayne fans may beimagined.

A TRIPLE LIFE.

Otto II. Kahn, the New York banker.
said I'm the smoking room OF the Amerika:
"A four months tour OF Europe has con-
vinccd me that my own country has the
best government in the world. America Is
the land Of opportunity-the land OF oppor-
tunity for rich and poor alike. Hard work
is all that Is required, and you'll always
find the hardest worker at the top.
"It reminds me OF a story" Mr. Kahn
continued. "It is a story about large en-
ploycr Of labor. An underling sought pri-
vate interview OF this man one day, and
closing the ONCE door said in a mysterious
whisper:
- think ii is only fair to tell you, sir
that il Is rumored in the plant that you are
leading a double life
"'Well, by George. ] am too, said the
employer in a loud. hearty voice, as he
opened the door as a sign that the inter-
view was at an end. In fact, you might
say I am leading triple life, for l work
three times az hard as any man or woman
or my payroll"
