MAYOR LOEB RISGNED
AS MANAGER OF CLUB
Trouble In Baseball Camp
and Manager Throws Up
Payless Job.

Mayor Loeb has quit managing
the Opelousas baseball team. He
said on Monday morning: Some
of the home players are dis
pleased with me because / refuse
to pay them on the grounds that
no other town in Louisiana pays
it's local boys"
Mr.. Loeb thinks that the Ope-
lousas boys who can play ball
should do so free of charge, as
the ball club is an advertisement
for atown, a distraction on lonely
Sunday afternoon. But because
Opelousas has some of the best
amateur players in the State they
desire pay. ;,
MayorLoeb stood firm andwould
not consent to the paying of the
home boys; he would rather give
up his job, which pays him abso-
lutely nothing but worry and
trouble.
Whether Mayor Loeb has made
I'D his mind about severing his
connections with the local ball
club could not be learned from
Mayor Loeb's friends, but it is
thought that they will induce
him to keep his position.
MI. Loeb proved his ability
for managing a baseball team
last season, when he gathered
some of the best players in the
state, and Opelousas could scarce
ly dispense with Mr.. Loeb in the
present condition of affairs.
1t has been rumored for the
past week that Opelousas would
no longer have a baseball club
this season, but this runor has
been fatty denied by one of the
members of the board Of manag-
ers. On Thursday he was asked
if the rumor was true, whereup-
on he said: Certainly not.
Opelousas will have a better
team this season than she has
even had"
There was a little trouble over
the defeat of the local team on
last Sunday, when Kinder trimm-
ed Loeb's aggregation by a score
of 6 to 5. Probably because the
local boys have been playing un-
defeated for the last two years
the fans were disappointed at
their showing on last Sunday.
However town can never have a
winning team all the time. unless
the club loses a game once in a
while, the enthusiasm will soon
die out, as soon as she begins los
ing again.
Opelousas is preparing to send
q strong team on the diamond
sometime next week. It is not
known as yet if the local players
will have an engagement on next
Sunday, but it is a sure fact that
the next nine which will repre-
sent Opelousas in the baseball
world will be hard to beat.
Mayor Loeb's resignation hav-
been turned down it is ex-
pected that the present mana
ger will continue with his good
work and will soon have all the
players in mid-season shape,
Opelousas will be the hard
est team in this section to de-
feat.
Tom Casey will report to May
Or Loeb on Saturday evening and
all the home boys will also be on
hand. The breach between the
players and directors has been
arranged and the local boys have
.ome to the terms Of the baseball
to play for the spirit and
lot for the money which they
an get out of it. No home boy
will receive one cent until the
ieason is over, when the profits
will then be divided among them.
