Paris celebrated one real gala day,
in a phase of Americanism that has
made this nation a precedent for the
world, when more than 1000 fans
turned out Tuesday and entered the
gates at Barton Field where Paris
VS.. Brownsville was the announced
contest on the baseball diamond, be-
ginning at O'Clock, The big pa
rade beginning at half past three o.
clgpk up town, and the general clos
ing of the stores at that hour, only
made it more difficult for the traffic
officers and grounds police to handle
the big crowd and stack the auto
mobiles in the parking grounds down
first and third base Lines in q three
deck arrangement. The newly ex-
tended grand stand was filled to
oyerfowing and everything else
constituted the hleachers,
Umpire Bert Rowe called the game
promptly at four o'clock, and Um-
pire Wall Cantrell took his position
behind first base, Preacher w. w.
Astles walked into the box, dried his
hand in the dust, and heaved the first
ball of the new era to preacher J, w.
Storer, behind the bat, with McClish,
batter-up,
Play Ball! The game was on and
the big crowd cheered good luck, Ac-
cording to the ethics of the game the
visiting team took up the bats first,
and with new hopes of new league
and Paris to qualify for berth
therein, the lineup tightened, but it
was not until the last half of the
seventh inning that the game was
clinched for Paris when three timely
hits netted two runs, and the game
rounded out in eight and one half
