TO third and Richard to second
Bouchereau pushed a grounder t

when the catcher juggled the ball
Richard advancing to third Creo]
Whitfield, but D'Alemberte laid down
Ebunt which the pitcher fooled, Ri
chard crossing the plate. Durand
who had been put in the game as
pinch hitter for Donaldsonville in TIL
eighth replacing Begue, sent a sizzle
TO short and the ball bounded owe
Thibaut's head, Bouchereau and D'Al
emberte scurrying home with thu
runs which broke up the game.
/ The visitors put one across in the
fourth session. Eddie Prejean roll
ed a dinky little grounder between
first and second, which Richard field
ed but threw wild, the runner tax
ing second. Tim Dugas pasted a hit
to left, and when Begue fumbled
the ball Prejean chalked up the first
run of the game, Dugas being thrown
out at second. DR.. Talbot got a
clean hit through second and i'm
mediately pilfered the keystone sack
progressing another lap on Arthur
Talbot's tap to left. The doctor was
caught between third and home a
moment later and after an exciting
chase was run down, Arthur Talbot
making a pretty steal of third as
| the play was completed. Thibaut
ended the excitement by striking out.
| In the visitors half of the ninth,
Arthur Talbot led off with single to
center and Thibaut followed with a
fluke hit toward second, Talbot tray
cling all the. way to third. AldWin
Talbot couldn't connect with DIAL
emberte's benders and went down for
the count of three, but L. Dugas
poked grass-cutter to short on
which Arthur Talbot scored, the
eatter being retired at first Bour-
der slammed a bounder to third, and
when Tearney heaved the ball wide
to first Thibaut arrived at the termi-
nal station with the third and last
marker for the Maps, Jean Dugas'
lift to left being gobbled up by Ale
man.
Poor judgment in base-running and
coaching spoiled a palpitating op-
portunity for the locals to annex at
least one counter in the seventh
stanza, and perhaps more. Tearney,
first up, Walloped safely to left, and
simoneaux dittoed to right. Lee
Blanc walked, stuffing the bags. A
squeeze play was signalled, but Du-
gas pitched the ball wide and Tear
ney was tagged between third and
home, the other runners moving up
on the play. Richard was walked,
again croWding the paths, but Bou-
:nereau punched three holes in The
atmosphere and the best Creoli
could do was to propel a weak roller
to third, which Talbot fielded to first
for the third out.
Features Of the spicy contest were
a fast double play pulled off by the
visitors in the fifth, Thibaut to Aid
win Talbot, Richards catch of a line
drive to first in the same inning,
and Arthur Talbot's batting and AL
round clever playing for the Maps.
Dugas, the Assumptionites' slab ar
fist, pitched nice game, yielding on
iy three hits and chalking up ten
strike-outs. Both teams put up a
nifty article of ball, and the pastime
was replete with exciting plays. The
largest crowd of the season was in
attendance, and it was eyerybody's
opinion that the exhibition was a
pippin in all respects.

A double-header is scheduled for
tomorrow afternoon, with the strong
Gonzales team and the Meters of DON
aldsonville as contenders in the first
game, and Thibodaux VS.. Donaldson
vile as the lineup for the second
pastime. The Meters are composed
of number of crack amateurs of this
city and neighborhood, and on the
occasion of their first appearance be-
fore an audience of local fans they
propose to demonstrate that they
know thing or two about the ma
tional game by slipping the harpoon
into their speedy opponents from
the New River section. The latter
are. som baseballists themselves,
however, as their past performances
show. and it's safe bet they will
make things interesting for the 10
cal aggregation.
Thibodaux never fails to put out
a swift team, and this years squad
is no exception to the rule. An in
scientific exhibition is as
sured when the Lafourche lads hook
up with the Donaldsonvllie cham
pions, and all the fans should turn |
out to witness the spicy scrap.
The batteries will be: Gonzales,
Lesaicherre and Babin; Meters, Blu
and Rome; Thibodaux, Pre-
Jean and Bergeron, of Lafayette In
1ustriaI Institute; Donaldsonville, |
Tearney, =D'Alemberte and Vega. The
first game will be started promptly
at 3 o'clock, and the prices of adj
mission will be the same as hereto
fore: Gentlemen 35 cents; ladies Is
cents, children Is cents.
