BASE BALL.

: Rain broke up a nice game OF
ball at the New Iberia Base Ball
Park last Sunday between Nor
gan City and the locals, the score
stood s to l at the 7th inning with
the locals at. the bat with one man
out, having scored 5 runs already.
Dieudonne was in fine form,
allowing only one little hit in the
seventh inning, and striking out
eleven men. If it was not for
Jennaro's error on an attempted
double play in the seventh, Dieu~
dome would have another shut
out to his credit. Dieudonne has
been pitching a real classy artl-
Gle Of ball this year and seems
to improve with every game.
! Markham scored New Iberia s
first run in the first on several
errors. In the second inning
Doerle walked stole second and
scored on Dieudonne hit over
first base. In the sixth they
scored one run on three successive
hits. in this inning Morgan City
pulled off a fast and pretty dou-
bic play, they were men on first
second and third, Jennaro hit tc
third scoring Delahoussaye, the
! third baseman threw to SECOND
forcing Markham and then threw
home catching Doerle at thu
plate. In the seventh inning tn:
boys jumped on Roder and drove
him from the box, four hit
scored five runs and then thel
the rain.
Delahoussaye was back N tn
game to the delight of the fans
he got a hearty hand when h
stepped to the bat the first time
he delivered the goods alright
getting two hits.
Doerle's work behind the ba
certainly was pretty, ne tnfeV

RACK-TRACK GAMBLING.

it will be disposed Of soon so as
to cause the least disappoint-

take up as much of the time and

the Legislature is not to legalize
racing, for that is already per-

create a State commission that
will have charge Of this gamb-
ling and see that it is conducted
decently.
1t is frankly admitted that the
gambling methods which for
merly prevailed in connection
with the races in this city were
bad, very bad, but it is held that
they can be regulated and puri-
fed so that they will be unob-

Voice Without Laughing.

This game may be played in the
house, very quietly, as indoor games
usually are. The "Guesser" stands
in the center of the room, blindfolded.
Around him the other players are
grouped. The "Blindman," or Guess
err, points in some direction and the
player he chances to point at comes
up in front of him. He asks three
questions, anything he pleases, such
as How much do you weigh?" How
tall are your" or Have you blue

guise his voice, making it high, low,
squeaky, or he may answer In a whis-

any means he thinks of to deceive the
"Blindman" as to his identity.
The player being questioned must
not laugh, however, or he will have
to pay forfeit. The "Guesser" may
laugh. In fact, he will probably, do
so in order to try to make the other
player follow his example and pay a
forfeit.

How British and Beers Exchanged
Compliments During the Long

During the Boer war Mr.. Rhodes
was shut up in Kimberley, and the
Beers constantly shelled the town with
longrange artillery. They were not
very successful, for with 800 big shells
they only killed IL people.
Meantime, Mr. Rhodes accomplished
the extraordinary feat of getting a
cannon built at his works inside the
town. 1t was a regular modern rifled
gun. and fired shells-also homemade

The Beers themselves were not with

Two of the shells were found by the

like Mr.. Rhodes, they were home
