Opelousas has a good team-as
good ball club, made up of strictly
home boys, as has represented the
town on the baseball diamond in sew

of the strongest semi-professionl
teams in the state it would not be sur
prising to see the Alex batters "bite
the dust" before Veltin, who is said
to be in the very best Of trim.
A neat little sum of money has been
raised by public subscriptions from
the business people of this city and
the team has been presented with a
set of new uniforms. Nothing has
been left undone by the baseball fans
to make the people Of this city proud
of their ball club.
1t is understood that Opelousas has
games scheduled from practically the
entire summer months with some of
the strongest ball clubs in the state
but Sundays game is regarded as the
the most important, since it will be
the first time that the Opelousas club
will be put to the test of playing real
baseball.
A large crowd is needed at the ball
park Sunday afternoon to cheer the

in Good Shape

Backed by Mayor Edward L. Loeb,
Street Commissioner Octave Durio
can now assure the people of this city
that the streets will be maintained in

suit of their efforts they now have
some Of the gravel thoroughfares
in a fair condition.
Mayor Loeb stated that it was not
the purpose of the city officials to
permanently repair the gravel Streets
particularly in the principal sections
of the city, as it was evident the pro-
perty owners along these busy streets
would shortly decide to put down per-
manent paving. All the holes will be
patched up and as soon as travel
has mashed down the gravel the street
commissioner will pass the grader on
the gravel and thereby reshape the
bed.
The city received four carloads of
gravel during the week and immedi-
ateIy upon their arrival Commission
er Durio had a crew Of men at work
repairing Main street, and the mayor
was 'looking" on and assisting the

the work.

cording to the rumors prevalent on
the streets of the city during the

trio and other prominent business and
professional men. The capital stock
it is.understood will be in the neigh
borhood of one hundred thousand
and some twenty thousand dollars
additional will be subscribed for sur
plus.
One of the organizers of the pro-
posed bank, in an interview with the
publisher of the Star-Progress stated
that demand for the stock already
exceeded the estimated capital stock
of the proposed new bank, and that
in all likelihood the stock would have
to be prorated among applicants in

banking centers of Louisiana and
the three banks now in operation are
recognized among the leading finan-
cial institutions in the country dis

Lassalle Is Delegate
To Repub Session
Former OpeIousas Postmaster Under
Republican Regime Geing to
Chicago Convention

Goldman /. Lassalle, former post
MASTER of this city, during the last
Republican regime, will leave to-day
for Chicago to attend the national
Republican convention, as a delegate
from this state. Mr.. Lassalle will be
accompanied on his trip by hs wife,
and while North viii seize the oppOr-
tunity of visiting several Of the large
cities of the North and East, at the
same time visiting friends and rela-
tives.
Mr.. Lassalle has been associated
with the Republican party ever since
he attained his majority. He is recog-
nized as one of the leading Republi-
cans of this state, enjoying friends
among the great men Of party in 9TH
er state.
Before leaving for the Chicag con-
vention Mr.. Lassalle told represen-
tative of the Star Progress that the
Louisiana delegation was going there
uninstructed and no forecast Of the
action of the Louisiana men at the
convention could be made. He pre-
dicted a lively contest for the prese-
dental nomination and ventured the
opinion that a Southern man would
be chosen as the Republican candid.
ate for vice president. He said that il
was strongly believed among the nat.
ional Republicans that the "sOlid
South" would be broken this time, as
several electoral districts are claimed
by the party, and it is said that two
or three Southern states would likely
go for the Republican nominees.
Mr.. Lassalle expects to be gone
for over month, converting his triI
from a political one to a pleasure
sojourn through the Northern ant
Eastern states.
