TOOK NEW IBERIA
TUNE, Z TO |,

The Welsh base ball team was
victorious again last Sunday in
its game with New Iberia at New
Iberia, winning by score of 2 to
l. Up to the eighth inning not a
man OF either team had reached
Ord base. In the last half of the
eighth New Iberia scored one run
an error. They thought the game
was theirs, but in the nineth the
Welsh boys started a batting raj
~ and scored two runs. New
Iberia failed to score in the last
halt of the nineth, and thus the
honors went to Welh. The game
was one of the fastest played this
season, with but few errors. In
this game pitcher Greer famed
eleven men.
The lineup was as follows: A.
Romero, 2b; Goldsmith, 1b; N.
Romero, IS; Unkel, If; LaCour,
3b; Louviere, cf; Hebert, rf; Ly-
0nS, c; Greer, p.
The Welsh team has played s
games this season and LOST but 3,

The flight of the NC-4 was re-

On May Sth. it left Rockaway,
Long Island, but was forced 10

next day it journeyed from Hal

miles, and on May 1917 went
from TrespasSy to Horta, in the
Azores, 1850 miles, in about fif-

SECRETARY OF GROWERS ASSERTS
HIGHER PRICES WILL MAINTAIN

pThat the market for the new

HIGHER prices than ever before in
~ history of the industry is the
Sslief of E. A. EignuS, Secretary
i The Southern Rice Growers
Association.
This belief is amply borne~out

The gradual hardening of the
dean rice market for the past few
weeks and the high range of
mices at present prevailing, has
not been unexpected by those in
touch with the situation, said Mr..
EignuS, "The shortage of fancy
riceS could have but one result,
and that has been that lower grad

been purchased to meet the needs
Of those who in the ordinary year
would have used nothing but high

steadily growing and is limited
only by the shipping facilities. |
As The Shipping problem is rapidly |
being improved the movement of !

The prediction we made several |!
months ago that the market
would open with bare stocks as
far as the present crop is concer-

going to contract now for the sale
Of their product. They are of
course kept informed through
their organization of actual con-
