The "dopesters" of Alexandra
and Pineville were turned upside
down and banged on their heads when
they saw the St. Charles nine work
ing out on the Louisiana College cam
pus. The defeat of St. Charles has
been taken as an assured fact. But
they had not reckoned on the steady,
speedy twirling of Gonzalez, the
phenomenal fielding of Smith and
the good-for-a-bit working Johnson.
The two runs made by Louisiana Col
lege were a result of errors on the
part of St. Charles, but the upstate
boys never led in the game nor was
the game ever in danger of being lost
by the visitors.
The second game with the Pineville
boys was almost a repetition of the
first, two runs being scored by the
Louisiana College on an error, but
Hebert, who topping the mound for
the Red and Green, kept cool head
and a terrible arm which bewildered
the opponents. For fifteen innings
"Eggy" twirled and held the score
3-3; but he had pitched seven innings
the day before against State Normal
and twenty-five innings proved too
much for him. Gonzalez relieved He
bert when St. Charles took the field
in the sixteenth, but the first ball that
he pitched to Boone was bingled by
that Louisiana College player deep
into center and rolled under an auto
that was standing there. Boone cross
ed the home plate just second be-
fore Morvant's wing from center
slammed the ball into Broussard's
glove at home.
In the first Normal game the st.
Charles team was kept chasing flies
that the Normal sluggers drove into
the gardens in spite of Hebert's eff
forts to mix his delivery as much as
possible. The game was won by the
Natchitoches team in the first inning
and never was there chance Of St
Charles robbing them Of their victory

WeII-Merited Tribute to
Services of Mr.. Jno. E. Daley
Sunset. La. Nav 6. 1872

Sunset, La, May 6, 1920.
Editor Star-PrOgress:
There passed back into private life,
with this meeting of the police jury,
one of the most faithful public
servants this parish has ever had.
After giving sixteen years of con-
tinuous and faithful work to his peo-
pie, he is entitled to rest, and also to
the thanks of the people of the Sec
ond ward and parish at large. Though
criticised at times, most frequently
by people who would not have given
one-tenth of the service he did, and
whose chief occupation is to try to
tear down instead of build UP, he can
look back with pride to his record and
feel that he has given good part of
his life to the public service.
And, Mr.. Editor, at this present
day and time, this is the only real and
genuine reward one can expect-s
self-consciousness and satisfaction
of having done your duty to the best
Of your ability as your conscience
dictates, then let the chips fall where
they may.
John E. Daley has this satisfac,

OpCCldl
Grand Coteau, La, May 4.-On
Wednesday and Thursday May II and
10, Louisiana Industrial Institute of
Ruston will play two games of base
ball against st. Charles College of
Grand Coteau, on the latter diamond.
The games will be called at 80
D. m. on Wednesday and 3 p. m. on
Thursday. The two games will be
especially interesting from the fact
that they will probably decide the
Louisiana state college. champion
ship for the season. Louisiana Col
lege, Louisiana Industrial Institute
and st. Charles College are neck and
neck at present in the race for the
rag. On the two days previous to
their games with st. Charles, the
Ruston boys will meet the Pineville
boys. If they defeat the Louisiana
College nine, that town will be nosed
out of the championship. If st. Charles
defeats RustOn, the championship
will 90 to the Grand Coteau boys.
Both teams are working up to their
best pep for the two games at Grand
Coteau. Among the Red and Green,
Gonzalez and Hebert are getting
stronger and surer every day. John
sons eye is now a thing that the OPP
posing pitcher does not like to see.
Smith is driving deeper and deeper
and burning up things in general
around third base. Harrison has
steadied on first, and BrOussard can
count on one hand the number Of
men who have stolen around on his
peg.

Mrs. Anding DISCUSSES
The Suffrage Question
Onelousas. L.. Man z. 1920

Opelousas, La, May z, 1920.
To the Women and Men of St. Lam
dry:
/, as the suffrage leader who made
a state suffrage fight here to gain
state right, at the November election
two years ago, would like to ask you
why did Judge Gilbert Dupre stand at
the polls and fight state right suff-
rage? Did he and the other men who
killed state suffrage forget that Lou
isiana was the only one state out of
forty-eight? Judge Dupre is now
talking of the federal amendment.
That federal amendment does not say
one word about the negro woman; it
only says we can not bar anyone on
account of sex-that is all.
walk around this town and talked
to our men and women and told them
that the federal government was only
waiting on one southern state to see
them grant state right suffrage
Judge Dupre read the city papers.
He could not help but see suffrage
was coming, and instead of standing
at the polls calling on the men to kill
state suffrage, if he loves Louisiana
like he would have you believe, then
why did he and the other men vote tc
kill state suffrage? Every man who
voted down state suffrage two year:
ago voted for the federal amendment
| Now, my friends, if Louisiana doe:
turn down suffrage, there are three
more states ready to ratify the
amendment.
Now, / have worked for and with
the people of my parish for the las
fifteen years and God knows / would
be the last one to bring any harm tt
my people. But our attorney general
Judge Coco, and Ex-Governor ]. Y
Sanders, Ex-Governor Hall and ex
Governor w. w. Heard all tell us tina
the only difference between the twt
the women by federal suffrage viii
vote in the fall election and by tn
state suffrage we will not be voter
for two years yet.
Sincerely,
MRS. A. A. ANDING,
Parish Chairman, Woman's Suffrag
Party of Louisiana.

St. CharIeSRi Team
Cleans Up Spring Hill

Grand Coteau, La, May 4.-The
R. 0. T. G. rifle team of st. Charles
College of Grand Coteau, La, defeat
ed the R. o. T. C. rifle team of
Spring Hill College, Mobile, Ala, in
a match fired on Tuesday, April 81.
The officially checked-up scores of
each team were made a few days ago.
The remarkable feature of the st.
Charles victory is that the r. o. T. G.
unit of that college is what is Off
cially known as "junior unit, !"
whereas, Spring Hill College is known
as Senior unit" That the junior
unit defeated the senior unit is con-
sidered in military circles as an ex-
ceptional victory for st. Charles-an
added star on its victory bar.
Each team fired on its own gallery
range, starting at the same hour on
the same day, at 2 p. m. April q. The
firing and the recording of the scores
was supervised in each instance by
the United States army officer de-
tailed by the war department as pro-
fessor Of military science and tactics
at the respective colleges, The match
was closely contested all the way
through, st. Charles winning by score
of 1416 points to Spring HilPs 1414
points. The match was won by st.
Charles College at the 25-foot range,
with a score of 480 points out of a
possible 500. Spring Hill made 495
/ points at this range, thus giving the
Louisiana boys point lead. At the
50-foot range the match was a draw
each team scoring ATT points. Spring
Hill made a strong bid at the 75-foot
range to win the match, making 49,
points; but that was not quite enough
for St. Charles score of 459 left the
later college two points ahead, which
was one point more than enough tC
win the entire match.
The feature of the match was the
phenomenal shooting of Cadet Ser
geant Ewcll Smith of st. Charles Col
lege, whose family resides at GarnC
Coteau. Cadet Smith ran a total o.
149 points out of possible $50, max
so points at rs foot range, so point
at so foot range and 40 points ct a
feet. Cadet Captain Edward Dub1is
son and Cadet Gabriel Lafleur, bot
of st. Charles College, the former al
inhabitant of Opelousas, the latter o
Grand Coteau, also made very fin
scores, each running up 147 points
All three of the above mentioned ca
diets bettered Spring Hills best ind
vidual record which was LAG points
made by Cadet Whining.
Enthusiasm ran high at st. Charlie
and cheers and cheers were given b

Their faces were hairless and

rabble. Strong arms carried eartn-

koresh. There were also daggers
and pointed horns and a number of
dull swords.
The sunlight was merciless, max

Where smocks were torn, the knot
ted bodies were smeared with clay.
Their cries were fevered with the
impatience Of children, yet always
the moaning undercurrent of rebel
lion. Very far away to the south
east, a great smoky dust hid the
riders who were giving chase to a
Friderless horse, acting upon vivid
misinformation.
The miners spread over the
patches of sprouting koresh. They
trampled the tender plants from
seeds of their toll. The rich damp
earth was torn by their feet. The
ruddy palace, unnamed, waited just
ahead. Con wondered how long the
riders would Searcn, now soon tney

From the houses beneath the city

ugly swarm OF workers. There was
strength in the arms that had toiled
so long underground; new, fierce
power in the twisted spines. 1t was

Now the vague and 1ong-deferred

Destiny had girded them, and the

flood of boiling water poured upon

pack behind him, Lexington entered
the courtyard of the palace.
Wives and maidens of the monzoul

nimble beyond the fountains, and
the feminine cries were forbidden
music to the invaders. But there
