Great Game
HAD OPELOUSAS
GOING STRONG
Neck and Neck for Time and
Took Eleven Innings to
Decide Victor

In point Of size New Roads is not
much of a town, but that it has some
ball players was thoroughly evidenced
by the game fight their team put up
here last Sunday against the opelou-
sas team on the latter,s home grounds.
It required eleven long, grilling inn
ings to decide the winner in the game,
and OpeIousas won, the score being
three to two.
The visitors came by train over the
Gulf Coast Lines, arriving here at
1909 o'clock in the afternoon. They
motored from their home town to Lot
tie where they boarded the train for
Opelousas. On the return journey
they went by the eastbound fast night
train, arrangements having been made
for the train to stop at the little viii
lage of LOttie to let them off.
The attendance at the Sunday game
was not as large as formerely, that be-
ing accounted for by the fact that one
of the local teams had gone TO Rayne
to play game, and many Of the fans
had journeyed to the Acadia town
to howl and root for them. Then many
thought the New Roads team was
small potatoes" and deemed it usless
to 20 and witness another fiasco like
the game played with Rayne few
Sundays ago. They missed seeming,
however, one of the best games ever
played here, and the visitors proved
conciusiYely they knew how to handle
the bat and hit and throw the ball.
Here is the box score of the game:

FALLING TREE
HURTS PAVING
SLIGHT DAMAGE TO BLOCK AND
CONCRETE WHEN GIANT OAK
TOPPLES OVER

Both big oak trees that stood at
the corner of Bellevue and Market
streets, just outside the door Of Law
yer sandoz's office are no more. They
fell under the axe and saw last Fri
day the only damage was to the wood
block pavement on Bellevue street and
that damage is slight and viii cost lit
tie to repair. The first tree did the
work, big limb penetrating the pave
ment and driving blocks and con-
crete base, into the earth. The second
tree was thrown across the first and
hence did NO damage. though it mar
nowly missed the water plug on the
south side of the corner.
The two big trees have been con
verted into a fine lot Of cord wood
producing many cords of fuel. The
many broken telephone wires and the
few damaged electric light wires have
been repaired and al that remains tC
remind one that two monsters stood
are the giant stumps that win remain
for years unless dug out Of the soil
that has supported them for genera
4ions.
A newspaper man talked with
Squirrel" the old negro that sue
cessfuliy topped the trees before the
great trunks were cut down. The
old fellow stated he was seysnty-siz
years Of age, but he doesn't look it

ALDERMAN At LARE suPERIN-
TENDS THE CLEANING OUT OF
BIG CANAL in CITY LIMITS

The thorough cleaning OF big can
al in the western half of the city was
a mart of the drainage program out
lined by the city administration. This
canal starts at or near the ice factory
and runs parallel with the Texas and
Pacific tracks south, and in the Pavy
addition It assumes the proportions
of a natural water course, emptying
into a creek southwest of the city,
near the property of Jos. NJ. Boagnl.
This canal is very necessary ad-
iunet to the drainage OF the western
mart Of town and as it had become
somewhat choked up with the accu'
lation Of years the cleaning Thereon
became necessary at once.
Alderman Mouret volunteered to
superintend the work Of cleaning the
canal and with a force Of laborers he
went after the job without losing any
time. The work is completed now and
If is stated that it is marvel OF ex-
eellence and indicates clearly that
Mr. Mouret knows the art of securing
bettsr drainage. It viii prove great
aid in keeping the west half OF the

Quite number OF wealthy Louisi-
ana men are interested IN the canal
project, including A. Kaplan, capitalist
]. r. Hunter of Crowley, owner Of the
big Hunter irrigation canal system;
and L. o. Broussard of Abbeville, the
last named being president Of the
concern. Mr.. Kaplin was recent
visitor to opelousas and Port Barre
and while here stated that he con
sidered his expenditure on the enter
prise a good one that he would not
take five times its cost for his inter
est in the big concern.
Fresh water from the Courtableau
the Cocodrie and the Boeuf are fed in.
to the Teche at Port Barre and this
supply Of water assures rice crop in
the lower parishes without running
the risk of salt water backing in from
