OF VALUABLE Skins
Will Offer Three As Prizes
In A Contest to Take
Place Soon.

The local Elks received during
the week skins, which are con-
sidered very valuable. Three of
these skins, which are estimated
to be worth $500 will be offered
as prizes in contest, which is
to be pulled off by the Billies
within the next few weeks.
These skins are on display at
the Elks Home and the members
take pride in pointing them out
to strangers and visitors.
The Elks have not announced
when the contests would be
started, neither have they stated
what kind Of contest it will be.
But whoever will be the lucky
persons in winning one of these
skins it is a sure thing will be
proud of the prize.
The work on beautifying the
ground around the Elks Home is
advancing and soon the little

Billies and their families will be
completed.

were many disappointed hearts,
as people from various parts OF
the parish had come to Opelousas
for the Italians celebration.
It was announced, however in

that st. Joseph's Day would be

the news quickly spread into the

BALL SEASON WILL
open ON APRIL Y
Frisco VIII Run Excursion
on Easter Sunday for
First Game.

The baseball season in this
city will open on April 18th,
when Opelousas will battle
against either Lutcher, st.
James, or New Roads. The
Frisco Railroad has already an
nounced that an excursion from
New Orleans will be run into
this city for the occasion.
Opelousas will have as strong
a team, if not stronger, than
the one last year. and present
indications point to a record
breaking attendance. The local
fans are becoming more and
more interested in the local bali
team each year, and the busi-
ness men have already signifed
their intention to back up the
local nine as much as possible
during the approaching season.
Mr.. Loeb is already busy ar
ranging for games and in a few
days he will have a bunch Of the
strongest serni-professional ag-
gregations in the state on the
string. He will be ready to an
nounce the lineup of the local
ball players within the next
week.
The invincible Casey will not
play with Opelousas. but Borde-
Ion and Veltin, who were the
star pitchers for this city two
years ago will again don Opelou-
sas uniforms and it is stated that
these two strong amateur fingers
will be back in form this season.
II is also reported that another
pitcher Of their calibre will be
secured to work out IN several Of
the many contests which Ope-
lousas viii have with the best
teams in this section.
The local fans are confident
that this city will cop the state
championship, which they lost
last season only through acci-
dent, when the Opelousas nine
bucked up against Lutcher,
which was by far a more infe-
rior team than the local one.
However everything points to q
very successful season.
