the pastime with a deluge of rain.
Tearney tWirled for Donaldsonville,
and Notwithstanding the fact that
this was the first time he had ever
essayed the role of rifleman, his
pitching was of the order that wins
games ninety-nine times out of one
hundred, an unfortunate error behind
him being responsible for the lone
tally annexed by the visitors. This
counter, which proved enough to
bring home the bacon, was recorded
in the second session With two
down Prejeant poled out a clean hit
and successfully negotiated steal
of the keystone sack. Ducausse push
ed a roller toward short, and after
going out of his territory to field
the ball DR.. Leblanc threw wild to
first, Prejeant scoring the run which

Naturally a bit nervous at the out
set of the fray, Tearney yielded a
couple of bingles in each of the first
two innings, but from then on he
tlghtened up and refused to allow
anything that even looked like a
hit for the remainder of the en-
gagement. He has world of stuff
and nice control, and with a little
more experience should develop in
to first-class sniper,
The locals had several opportuni-
ties to tie the score, but the fates
were against them and the necessary
clout was not forthcoming. In the
second session, after Alleman and
Leblanc had fallen victims to Pre-
jeant's benders, Richard poked sin
gle over second and Williams fol-
lowed With slam to short which
was too hot to handle, Richard mi

Tearney laid a bullt down the first
base line and would perhaps have
beaten out the throw, but he ac-
kicked the bail as he ran
and was called out
Charlet opened round three by
tanning, but Begue pasted a Whizzer
