The ball game between the Fats
and the Leans, which was played al
the local grounds last Saturday and
was won by the Fats by the score
of 9 to s, brought out large sized
crowd Notwithstanding the fact that
the most threatening weather pre-
vailed. The game, which went six
innings when it was called on &C.
count of rain, was replete with many
brilliant plays. both Cowgirl and
Moore of the Fats making a sensa.
tional catch each. which would have
done credit to some of the big league
stars.
The Fats appeared on the field in
clown costumes, and after a few
minutes practice, play was called by
Mayor Sullivan, who acted as UNI
pire. The less said about his UNI
pirine the better, but even though
he did allow the Leans four outs in
one inning and five in another, his
bad decisions were so evenly divi.
ded between both sides that neither
one had kick coming.
The Fats stole a march on their
opponents by bringing in a ringer
in the person of J. Vol Brock. the
district attorney, who played first
base in a mastery manner.
The pitchers were in fine shape.
Major Wood, who twirled for the
Fats, had his fade.away and spit
ball working to perfection. and the
control he displayed was simply
marvellous. Some of his inShoots
went by so fast that even the UNI
pire did not know what to call it
a ball or strike...until the Major
himself was consulted
Without a doubt there is some
big league timber in Bogalusa. and
it is to be regretted that some of
the big league scouts were not pres.
ent to see the work of the players.
A goodly sum was realized
from the gate, and the proceeds
we're all turned over to the Patriotic
Club, who extend their heartfelt
thanks to all those who helped
make the game a success.
Not only are the men who par
.icipated to be congratulated, but
also the ladies who, by their tireless
efforts, disposed of the tickets and
had charge of the gate. and who are

ago, were classed as rockies" are
now first class soldiers.
From $50 until II individual
drilling takes place, and at IL
o'clock the call for dinner is sounded.
From then on until $50 there is
very little doing and many of the
boys, after obtaining permission
from the captain. journey to the
city for the afternoon. (The Camp
is within easy access to Alexandria,
autos making the round trip for
fifty cents)
Retreat, which comes at $50, is
one of the most inspiring ceremon.

can imagine. The soldiers all line
up in the company street. the bugle

the officers salute and the days
