came up fast in the stretch and
passed under the wire winner by
half a length. Another pretty test
OF speed between these crack horses
resulted In Sprinting Blazes again
nosing out Sailor Boy in close fin
ish.
The Glass B event went to Blake
more, skillfully driven by Stewart
Dr.. Grant won the first heat and
Button Bright annexed the third
round, all the finishes being excit-
ing. In the final try-out Mrs. Ian
dry's big black was never headed,
passing under the wire an easy win
ner. with DR.. Grant and Button
Bright trailing in the order named.

After the races an exciting game
of baseball was played between the
Donaldsonville and Luling teams. The
visitors scored four runs in the
fourth inning on one hit and
bunch of errors by the locals, and
added another tally to their count
IN the fifth stanza. The home boys
put two runs across in the latter
frame, and annexed, three more in
the sixth round, tying the score.
The game was then called to permit
the visitors to catch their train.
DAlemberte, in the box for Don
aldsonville, yielded eight hits, gave
two bases on balls, sent one batter
to first on a balk, and chalked up
five strike-outs. Creoli caught nice
game behind the bat, and Jules Lee
Blanc played classy ball at second
base for the locals. Hugh Leblanc,
at short-stop, had an off day, be-
ing guilty of nearly ali the miscues
recorded against the home team.
Keller was the visitors slab artist
and was touched for seven bingles.
four of which were punched in the
sixth inning. He gave three passes
and struck out four The support ac-
corded him was slightly better than
that given D'Alemberte, his team
mates perpetrating seven foozles as
compared with ten charged up
against the locals. Harry Weber
and NJ. J.. Durand umpired the game
to everybody's satisfaction.
