Passing Us Off AS Liars.

Eunice, La, June q, 1914.
Editor St. Landry Clarion, Ope-
~lousas, La.
Dear Sir:
In your paper of issue the 10th
of June, there appears an article,
purported to be an interview
with Mr.. C. A. Hyde, Manager
Of the Garden City Base Ball
Club, in which you quote Mr..
Hyde as saying: I'VE got a rot
ten deal in Eunice. | do not be-
lieve we could beat Eunice on
their own grounds, with the New
York Giants, etc., ETC. Prompt
" upon reading this | called Mr..
Hyde by telephone, and in the
presence of several listening
witnesses, Mr.. Hyde emphatical-
ly denied having made the state
ments attributed to him by your
report, and stated that there was
not a word of truth in it. Sun
day at Garden City, Mr.. Hyde in
my presence in the presence of
several other business men, both
Of Eunice, of Garden City and
of Franklin, emphatically pro-
nounced the article written in
your paper as being unqualified
ly untrue and in no wise embody-
ing any of his views, stating that
he and his club were splendidly
entertained at Eunice, as a whole
received splendid treatment, and
no decision in the game OF base
ball in anywise would have
changed the result of the game
which was 9 to l in Eunice's
favor.
In a recent issue of your pa
per, writing up the result of the
game played at Opelousas be-
tween Eunice and Opelousas on
June 7th, you state that | called
my men off the field and thereby
forfeited the game to Opelousas.
In justice to the Eunice team,
and the Eunice people, as well
as myself, I would thank you to
correct this statement as it is
not correct. Not a Eunice play
er left his position or the field
until after Mayor Loeb stepped
on the diamond and instructed
Umpire Trosclair to call the
game and forfeit it to 0pelousas.
You state in your article pur-
porting to correctly report this
game, that Eunice wrangled,
Wrangled, and wrangled again,
for the mere JOY of Wrangling.
I would direct your attention to
the only three arguments which
arose during the entire game as
St. Landry clarion. (Opelousas, La.) 1890-1921, 1914-07-04
one half, which in my mind is a
very conservative estimate.

one half, which in my mind is a
very conservative estimate.
The early bird catches the
worm" and the early and enter
prising farmer catches the dread
ed boil weevil. It is not with
the intention of making a big
blow that I ask you to kindly in
sert in the columns Of your pa
per this communication for the
benefit Of my neighbors and
friends throughout our section,
and our parish.
A very few years ago two in
telligent young farmers of our
neighborhood bought a small
farm containing one hundred
acres. more or less; this land
when bought was almost nom
productive.
this they paid some twenty-five
dollars per acre.
! By dent of intelligence and
hard work they brought this
property to a high state of fer
tility; every inch of the property
is under a good hog-proof fenc-
ing which is worth to them a
good deal of money. This farm
could not be bought for eighty
dollars an acre.
At the time / am writing they
are irrigating their corn crop
which is one of the finest in our
section. While they are saving
their corn crop, the little darkies
are busy gathering punctured
forms for which / understand
the young men offer a little re-
ward in the way of encourage
ment. Their farm offers other
inducements of which they will
take advantage in the near fu-
ture. understand they wish to
build a lake on their farm, which
they can easily keep replenished
with their deep well and which
with a little intelligent manage
ment would be a great source of
revenue if stocked with the
proper kind Of the fnny tribe.
One Of my sons made five
bales weighing each over five
hundred pounds on five acres of
this land. So much for the cry
no more cotton can be made on
account of the boil weevil!!'
In conclusion, | wish to say
that I hear a great deal about
boil Weevil exterminators. but
according to my way of thinking
the best and surest way of deal
ing with this pest is for the little
darkies to follow row by row ant
to pinch these pesky bugs t
death in their little brown fin

score was 3 to l in Eunice's
favor and had the decision been
called as it should have been
called would have made the
score 5 to 1 in Eunice's favor.
Argument No. 2 precipitated by
Umpire Trosclair.
Argument No. 3 came up in
the 7th inning when Opelousas
batter hit to left field, the ball
being caught by Eunice Fielder
Aycock, and Umpire Trosclair
declaring the ball not caught,
the Opelousas runner himself va
eating the base thinking he was
out until told he was safe by Um-
pire Trosclair.
Argument No. 4 came up in
the 7th inning when with Ope-
lousas runners on 1st and I'd
bases, Opelousas batter hit to
pitcher who threw to Sd base for
force out, and the runner at
third being declared out by Um-
pire Mickey. Umpire Trosclair
came to the rescue of this decis-
ion which was a close decision
and declared the runner safe,
Notwithstanding the fact that
the rule book prescribes plainly
the duty of the Umpire in Chief,
and here it was again that Um-
pire Trosclair should not have
entered into the decision, the
decision belonging to the field
umpire who was Mickey and that
official having made the decision.
The runner at third being de,
clared out by the field umpire
play could not be resumed until
the base was vacated by runner,
which base runner refused to do,
and after a little delay. Umpire
Trosclair, was met in the middle
of the diamond and told by Man
lager Loeb to forfeit the game to
Opelousas which His Jumps cry
Equickly did. The forfeit if any
should have been made, should
have been made by Umpire
Mickey when the runner refused
to vaeate third base, and every
man with a knowledge of the
rules of base ball, knows this to
be a fact.
In conclusion I would direct
your attention to several things,
the first is THAT Eunice did moi
quit the game and did not leave
the field and would have prefer.
red to have finished the game
that Eunice entertains no enmi.
ty towards anyone on account Of
the unfair treatment accorded
them in this game as We won the
game and that is the end W.
sought when visiting Opelousas
St. Landry clarion. (Opelousas, La.) 1890-1921, 1914-07-04

having been occasioned through
Umpire Trosclair unauthorita-
lively trying to take charge of
the game. The first of these
came up when m interpreting
the ground rules, Umpire Mickey
instructed runner at first to pro-
seed to second. In all previous
games we have played it has
been customary ground rule for
runner to get one base on over
throws of first, third and home
plates, being subject however to
being put out on this base, in
other words, on a passed ball or
overthrow of first base. third
base or home plate, a runner
could not take more than one
base, and being forced to make
that. At Opelousas Sunday, we
being the visiting club, and
naturally playing under a great
er nervous strain than the home
club, thereby more likely to make
wild throws or overthroWs, than
the home club, the Opelousas
Captain made the ground rules
that on "a passed ball or over
throw at either first, or third
base, the runner would be en-
titled to the next base and would
not beisubject to being put out
in making it." The argument
which first came up was on a
play at first base, where a ball
thrown from right field to first
base, in an effort to retire a rum
ner, was missed by the first base
man, and Umpire Mickey, inter-
preting the rules as made by the
0pelousas Captain instructed
runner to proceed to second.
Umpire Trosclair who was call
ing balls and strikes and who
should not have entered into the
argument or the decision at all.
according to the rules of the
game as published by the Ma
tional Commission in 1914, siren
uously objected to this decision
and thereby preeipitated the ar
gument. Argument No. l start
ed by Umpire Trosclair.
Argument No. 2 came up when
with Eunice runners on I'd and
LIST, O'Quinn, hit to left field for
two bases, scoring two men and
Umpire Trosclair called the hit a
foul ball, when every man,
woman and child. in the park
plainly saw that the ball was
fair by twelve feet, this being
conceded by Left Fielder Brown,
Manager Loeb, and Catcher De-
jean, and every one else except
Umpire Trosclair. This decis-
ion came at a time when the

that fifteen minutes before the
game started Umpire Trosclair
stated in the presence of a hun
dred or more people That Eu-
nice had a Texas Lacquer for a
pitcher but that Opelousas would
Win-leave that to me-" That
Umpire Trosclair came to me be-
fore the game and stated that if
he made any mistakes during
the game he hoped that I would
overlook them, as anyone was
liable to make a mistake, there
by apologizing before the game
for anticipated mistakes. That
every member of the Eunice
team is a thorough ball player, a
gentleman, a game loser and
never at any stage of the game
a quitter-but every man of
them with courage enough to as
sert their rights and fight for a
square deal. That finally we de-
plore that any squabble should
have arisen that terminated the
game, but that we disclaim any
responsibility for the termina-
ton of the game, and that to the
Opelousas patrons and other pa
irons of the game we express
our regret that they should not
have seen a game of full nine in
nings.

to cast any slur on the Eunice
players, but in writing up the
account of the game we have al

they were seen by our reporters.

Real Wonder Worker
For Wrinkled Faces

Those who have tried all sorts Of So
called 'wrinkle-remOvers" in vain ef-
fort to lose those unwelcome traces Of
age, illness or worry, can scarcely find
words to express their delight with the
wonderful saxolite formula, once they
have given II a trial The success of
this method Is due not alone to its
marvellous effectiveness-upOu the deep
est lines and crOwsfeet, as we'll as upon
the very fine ones-but also to its sur
prisingly quick action and its entire
harmlessness- Its simplicity and its
ineXpensiveness are other commenda-
bic features. for one needs only dissolve
an ounce OF powdered saxOlite in a
half pint witch hazel, and battle the
face in this solution At once a re-
markable transformation is beheld.
It is not only the effect on wrinkles
and creases that is so noticeable. but
facial contour is remarkably improved
and the face looks much younger. One
should be sure 10 ask the druggist Tor
the powdered saxOlite. The lotion. be-
ing so refreshing, is particularly gate
