BEARS" WIN AGAIN
AND REMAIN PERFECT
STANDING OF LEAGUE

The second game Of the double
header between the 'sBears" and the
Paper Company resulted in the usual
top-heavy score (5-1) in favor Of the
Bears" However, Stollenwerck and
Marx broke the monotony Of error
less playing and bulled up two apiece
Icy Marx struck out ten 5atsnaen
and managed to bounce a ball off
left field fence for homer.
Dixon, who caught the game for
the Baer team, played almost as well
behind the bat as his old battery
mate Jolly
Lambright, pitching for the Paper
Company, disposed Of IL men via
the fan-out route, but allowed 10 hits
to Marx 8. The game was one Of
the best so far played by the Boga-
lusa Paper Company, and until the
sixth inning it looked as though the
Bears" had met their match, neither
side having scored a run.
Things are opening up now and
perhaps before the season is over
that four-figure percentage of the
hardwood boys will be knocked into
q bunch of hundreds.

June 4, 1920, which has been scat

an article published under the cap

this article is found the following
expression: THE plain people Of
Washington Parish were shocked BY
the rumor that the prosecuting at

thirteen murderers (meaning the 13

Covington Almost
Tans Bear /" Hides

Before the largest crowd that has
witnessed a ball game here in many
years the game between the Bogalusa
Bears and Covington proved one
of the most exciting ever played on
the local diamond, and it looked as
if the Bears" were going to lose a
game at last Tying the score in
the eighth and making another score
in the tenth inning the local 1900
per cent team was able to grab vic.
tory from defeat
From the first inning, when Gov
ington scored two runs before a man
was put out, until Black started the
bah rolling by scoring the first run
in the eighth, the undisputed opinion
in the grandstand was that the
Baers were going to get theirs at
last and the st Tammany nine GER
tainly gave George Fields champs
the scare OF their lives. When it
started raining in the fifth, with the
score 2 to 0 in favor Of the visitors,
the hardwood boys insisted on play
ing straight through the shower to
keep from having to give the game
away, and then the CovingtOn boys
managed to secure another tally IN
the sixth.
Dixon pitched the best strike-out
game so far Tailed in the local park,
tanning II men and allowing only Z
hits. Box, hurting for Covington,
famed four Baers.

PLAY AT FAST LAKE

"The New Minister IS the title of a delightfully."- attractive musical comedy to be presented in the auditorium of Howard College, Friday evening, at S;S0 o'clock, under the auspices of the East Lake lrpworth League
 Mir. Roy Carlisle as the new minister, Homer Brown, IS well known in Birming- ham, having made a reputation in quite a number of the musical entertainments presented by the Central High School. The role of Daisy Lovejoy is very ably taken by Miss Belle Aston, who has a beautiful soprano voice.
 The story of the play is as follows:
 A new minister is about to be selected for the finest brick church in town" " and each committee and individual recom- mends that he must be 'the kind of a preacher I like"
 The minister is finally called, and upon his arrival is besieged with suggestions and advice as to what he should preach and how the affairs of the church should be conducted. Miss Lovejoy, former sweetheart of MT. Brown, has come to this town to teach school, hoping to con- ceal her whereabouts, and is about as much surpriseS to see Mir. Brown as he is delighted to find her. Their relationship is renewed, and Miss Lovejoy becomes Mrs. Brown.
 Under the competent direction of Mrs F. c. Burchfiel and with supporting cast which includes Charles Bernhard, Jack Hurley, A. G. Gay, A. H. Wiltshire, Wyatt W. Hale. J. R. Tarrant, MT. and Mrs. w, D. Bishop, Miss Lucille Burns, Mrs. x. D. Best, Mrs. J. T. McPherson and others, this promises to be one of the most enjoyable entertainments pre- scented this season.
