be subscribed to purchase sui!s for
the players Opelousas viii have
formidable representation On the
diamond.
j. B. Clements, prominent local
rice buyer, who started the base
ball boom, will interview the busi-
ness men during the week in an en-
deavor to raise sufficient funds to-
purchase the baseball suits and
other necessary articles to fix up
the team.
As there will be only two players
on the payroll it is expected that

be on safe and self-sustaining
basis.
Charles Thompson, popular IN
fielder, who was one of the stars OF
the Opelousas team during the past
four years. is slated to be mana
ger. Austin Perkins, popular CASH
ier of the Planters National Bank,
will be treasurer and will handle
the finances of the club.

next; this position, however, will De
filled by Lionel Bienyenu, when he
returns from Spring Hill College,
Mobile, Ala, where he has been
pitching phenomenal ball during the
entire season.
There will be seven local boys in
| the line-up and Opelousas will be
| in position to tackle any new
! comer.
| It is probable that the first game
of the season will be played with
Kinder on Sunday after next. A
large crowd will undoubtedly cheer

ury one of the most prominent and
influential farmers of the Prairie
Ronde section. He is survived by
several brothers and sisters, among
whom are Mrs. Albert Prudaomme,
Mrs. f. D. Gortez, both of Maliel,
Aide, Omar, Rael, DR.. Ertemon,
Sinae and Dimmiek Lafleur.
The news of the tragic death OF
the well known Opelousas physi-
clan came as a severe shock not
only to his numerous relatives in
this and Evangeline parishes but
to his numberless friends through
out Louisiana.
An effort will be made to bring
the body to Opelousas for s~tor
ment, brothers of the deceased
having wired authorities to ship
the body to this city.
Before going with the United
Fruit Company DR.. Lafleur prac-
tieed in Swords for several months,
.after his graduation from Tulane.
He was looked upon as a splendid
physician and bright prospects were
in store for him.
1t is very likely that an lnvesti-.
CATION Of the killing of young La
feur will be asked of the Guatema-
Ian authorities by the United States
officials, as DR.. Lafleur was an
American citizen.
