BROCK TO MAKE
ACTIVE CAMPAIGN

J. Vol Brock, district attorney, was
in Bogalusa~ yesterday shaking hands
with his many friends. He an
nounced that he will conduct an ac-
tive campaign until election day.
In view of the fact that Washing
ton parish never had a more popular
official than Mr.. Brock, his friends
think it lnnessary to make an &C
tive campaign. Mr.. Brock is of the
opinion that over confidence has kept
many a man out of office.
Attorney Brock has served the
citizens of both Washington and st.
Tammany efficiently and he not only
solicits the support of the voters, but
his friends realize that@he is entitled
to the unanimous vote of the two
parishes.

COLUMBIA COMING
FOR BASEBALL GAME

There will be no game with Brook
haven this week, owing to the fact
that the Mississippi boys desired to
come to BOgalusa for games Thurs
day and Friday and, as this city is
primarily a working mans town, it
would be useless to play on any days
other than Saturday and Sunday.
However, Lucky" Black, who is
handling the matches for the Boga-
lusa club, used up several dollars
worth of Mr.. Bells sure cure for
nerves and finally made arrange
ments with the Columbia team to
come here for Sunday, August %.
The Mississippi boys are always hard
losers and the game played with them
is sure to be hot fight from start
to finish.

Bogalusa Loses Three
Games to HazIehurst

Francis promise to avenge the
S-3 defeat of last Wednesday,
against the Hazlehurst team failed
to materialize and in a tripleheader
there last Thursday, Bogalusa again
went down to defeat at the hands Of
the doughty Mississippians with the
scores Of "a and ITO chalked
against them.
While the team pitted against Be-
galusa was called "Hazlehurst,"
there was in reality not Hazlehurst
man on the team. The team was the
original high-class .BelzOni Delta
League organization, who easily
showed the spectators that they we're
top-notchers in playing the national
game.
The Bogalusa team was composed
mainly in their lineup of the same
players that were pitted against
Brookhaven.
Dixon pitched the first game for
Bogalusa and Cohen caught all three
games for the Louisiana players.
Edwards and Buck Stapleton formed
the battery for Hazlehurst in the
first game.
In the second game the Bogalusa
aggregation thought they had an ace
twirler in Buck Weaver, former
Southern League slab artist, but ne
was a sad disappointment, allo%ing
three runs in the first inning and
was hit almost at will throughout the
game. Walbauer, a big husky twirl-
er, could hardly be found at all b.
Bogalusa in this game.

LOWER PRICES EXPECTED
ON SPRING MERCHANDISE

Max Wilson, manager of the Boz
galusa Stores Company, who returned
20 Bogalusa Sunday from a two
weeks buying trip to the Middle
West markets, is Of the opinion that
prices will be lower next spring. The
present stock for fall has been pro-
duced at high costs for labor and ma
terial and as result no general re-
duction can be looked for in any win
ter goods.
Mr.. Wilson reports that merchants
are buying cautiously and all believe
that spring will see a general reduc-
ton. He advises the public to pur-
chase only for their immediate needs
and to avoid speculation and hoard
ing of any kind of merchandise.

Bears . Awarded
Goodyear Cup
LEAGUE STANDING AT CLOSE
OF SEASON

The Bears" representing the R.
?. Baer Hardwood Co., were crowned
the 1920 champions Of the CITY In
dustrial League and last Sunday
were awarded the cup of Col. A. G.
Goodyear, president of the Great
Southern Lumber Company, and car
ried the trophy from the City Ath-
letic Park to their "den" in the north
end of the city.
G. A. Townsend, representing
Mayor Sullivan, in few well chosen
words presented the cup before a
large crowd of fans who had gath
cred at the park to witness the Elks-
American Legion game.
George Field, manager of the Baer
plant and team, accepted the the tro-
ply on behalf of his Organization.
Mr.. Townsend congratulated the
league on the good craftsmanship
shown throughout the season and
commented on the many excellent
games played by the different teams.
The handsome silver loving cup,
donated to the league at the open
ing of the season by Col. A. C. Good
year, president of the Great South
ern Lumber Company and of the
New Orleans Great Northern rail-
road, will remain at the offices of the
hardwood mill until next year, when
the teams will contest for it again.
The Bears" throughout the sea-
son have played almost perfect ball.
At the opening game on May s, they
defeated the N. o. G. N. with a score
OF go, and in the closing game on
August 1, defeated the same team
again with score of Al.
1t was not until June 27 that any
OF the other three teams in the league
could grab game from the leaders.
but on that day the "Railroaders'i
caught Dixon off form and pounded
him all over the lot to a score Of So.
Again, on July 81, the N. o, G. N.
beat the hardwood lads with a score
of 4-3. However, the following day
the Bears" got back and cleaned mn
with score Of Al, making their to-
tai II victories and two losses, too
far ahead to be caught this year.
The phenomenal rise of the N. o.
G. N. team from the cellar to second
place was one Of the most remark
able occurrences during the season.
They were the only team in the
league to toss monkey wrench into
the mechanism Of the perfect ma
chine"
The Great Southern and BogaIusa
Paper Company teams played fair
ball throughout the season. The Pa
per Company took and early Jump,
and it was not until June 19 that
the other teams got their number.
However, by the middle of July they
were the undisputed "cellar cham
peen," until rallying again, they
pulled a game away from the N. o.
G. N. the day after the Bears had
laced the G. S. L. with a 1870 score.
The individual members and posi-
tons played by each on the cham
pionship team were: Dixon, Crab
tree and /. Marx, pitchers; Jolly,
jolly, George and Jordan, catchers;
Valley and Merriman, first base;
Black (captain), second base; ].
Marx, shortstop; Stollenwerck, third
base; George Fields (manager), left
field; Boyd, center field; Ross, right
field. The team went through the
season with but five errors tailed
against them.

NEW TRAFFIC LAW
is BEING OBSERVED

The traffic ordinance, which went
into effect last Thursday, caused lit
tie inconvenience to the auto drivers
OF the city and now appears to be
working to a splendid advantage, and
just as soon as the new law is put in
book form and the drivers have a
chance to thorough understand the
law, the police will see that it is rig
idly enforced.
The jitney drivers of the CITY will
meet with the committee appointed
by the Commission Council and fix
the rates for service cars at an early
