the richer peasants had worked each
about 300 acres of land. but now they
farmed but three acres. Normally,
the yield was so to so bushels of
grain per each three acres, whereas
this summer the harvest had been
but about 40 pounds. Last year the
harvest had been about four bushels
of grain to each three acres.
At that point the peasant. a tail.

food. began to get angry The red
army of Samara mad last December
ordered the village to contribute
about $500 bushels of grain, for
which no payment was to be re-

Left without seed
The village was left without seed

Samara, and was also without food
for the winter. To greet bread. in
December, the villagers began selling
off their valuables and eating their
cattle and sheep. As the winter

poorer villagers began to boil up old
skins and hides from furs, even the
soles of old boots and shoes.
When last spring came Samara
failed to furnish much seed grain,
and the peasants sold more valua bles
to buy a little. One way ar another
they had &c ponds of seed grain per
three acres. Then came a dry spring
and n dry summer, with a scant har~

The peasant, citing the way of the

the only food for the cows was field

The villagers were eating fruit,

The villagers were suffering from

BROOKLYN DODGERS
COMING TUESDAY

The greatest baseball game that
will probebly ever be played in b.
galusa, if not in the state of Louisi-
ana, will be here next Tuesday and
Wednesday, when the Brooklyn
Dodgers, wipners of the pennant in
the National League in 1920, will
play the st. Louis Browns, who are
doing their spring training in Boga-
lusa.
The games will be played at the
Colored Athletic park and, despite
the fact that the games are in the
middle of the week, it is estimated
hundreds of visitors will be here and
the grandstand and bleachers will be
taxed to their capacity.
The fact that the Brooklyn team
won the National League race, even
though they drew the short end of
the world series, will prove a great
drawing card Every baseball fan in
this section of Louisiana and Missis-
sippi will want the distinction of hav-
ing. seen them at work The games
will be called promptly at 2:30 p. m.
Of course, Bogalusa is going to
take all the seats that the visitors
can spare and Bogalusa will line up
to man and root" for the Browns,
because Bogalusa believes that if the
Browns can win from the Dodgers it
will prove that their spring training
here has been exceptionally bene-
ficiaI and win reflect some credit
upon Bogalusa.

Lee Foil Considered
Best Manager in Game

Perhaps there are few citizens in
Bogalusa who realize that Lee
Foil, manager Of the st. Louis
Browns now in training here, is rec
ognized as the greatest and most sue
cessful baseball manager in the
world. Mr.. Foil was manager of the
Cleveland team, which won the
worlds championship last year, and
with the exception of one player on
the worlds champions, the team was
selected by Mr.. Fohl. After he had
organized the team and had they
playing pennant-winning ball, he was
succeeded as manager by Iris Speak
-er. Those who are acquainted with
the success of the Cleveland team say
that all the credit is due Mr.. Foil.
Mr.. Foil is one Of the most popu-
lar managers in the game as well as
the greatest. It is stated that he
takes as much pride in developing a
''rookie" as he does one of his best
men. He is most affable gentle
man, unassuming and really belongs
to regular town like Bogalusa.
Bogalusa citizens are going to pull
for him and the Browns in the COM
ing race and if the Browns enter the
Worlds championship contest this
year he can expect delegation from
this city to be on hand to help him
win the worlds series.

There's Nothing Bogus About BogaIusa,
Says Mr.. Keener in St. Louis Times

There's nothing bogus about Bo-
galusa. For a spring training camp
this is the most ideal spot I have
ever visited. When you get a place
that is without criticism for a single
detail, then you have reached the
highest point in training camp eff
cheney. Such is Bogalusa.
From Mayor Sullivan down to the
darkies, who scrape the ball yard
each morning and afternoon, there is
but one desire down there-it is to
answer the wants of Manager Lee
Foil and the Browns. No request is
untitled.
Starting at the hotel with the
problem of furnishing comfortable
rooms, digestible food in the dining
room, burning sun to bring out the
beads of perspiration, a level playing
field, clubhouse with sufficient
lockers, showers producing hot and
cold water, a clOudless sky, nothing
that resembles rain and wind, and
you have a picture of this spot.
BogaIusa Was Unknown Spot
tween Business Manager Bob Quinn
and the high officials of BogaIusa, I'll
venture to say that not one member
of the Browns party knew that such
a place existed in Louisiana. The
mystery is that the major league
magnates who have tried every cor
ner from the Atlantic to the Pacific
scouting around for a training camp
overlooked Bogalusa.
Texas has the reputation of being
just what is desired, yet during my
many trips to Texas / failed to find
satisfaction all around. The trou-
BILE with Texas was mostly the whist
ling winds. Then there was the hotel
omplaint-either the food wasn't
just right or the rooms were not
large enough.
The Cardinals thought they solved
the Texas proposition last spring by
swining down to the extreme south
ern edge. Down there in Browns
vile it was thought they would be
able to get away from the nasty
winds. But there were miniature
gales, cyclones and tornadoes down
there with the Mexicans, just as there
was at San Antonio and other places.
Bogalusa's weather is perfect. It
is perfect because it is cool and brisk
in the mornings and evenings. From
10 until about 5 O'Clock though it is
hot-that's the description of the ma
tives. Not warm, but sizzling hot,
and that is just what the manager
wants for his athletes.
~0nce the perspiration starts to roll
down the cheeks it is not chilled and
frozen by one of those blame naw-
thahs so familiar over i'm the Lone
Star State The Texas wind ran

Grandstand Capacity
At Park Is Doubled

Mayor Sullivan was a little wor-
ried last week for fear that their
might be a vacant seat at the park
Sunday. When he saw one thousand
people standing to watch the game
and learned that five hundred more
were turned away for lack Of room,
he issue borders Sunday night for
work to start Monday morning ON in
creasing the capacity of the grand
stands which will have practically
double the seating capacity of week
ago. The grandstand has been ex-
tended to the bleachers and the
bleachers jointe dto the grandstand,
with the exception that the roof has
not been extended over the bleach
ers.
"If the people of. Bogalusa enjoy
this great sport, they are going to be
accommodated with seats, even if we
have to put a second deck on the
grandstand," said Mr.. Sullivan to The
Enterprise.

BOB COLEMAN. OLD-TIME
BACKSTOP, is IN BOGALUSA

Bob Coleman, manager of the
Terre Haute Baseball Club in the
Central League, and formerly man.
ager of the Mobile club in the South
ern League, is a visitor in Bogalusa
during the stay of the Browns in our
city.
Mr.. Coleman will be remembered
by some of the older baseball fans as
one of the best backstops who ever
donned mask in the South. During
his stay here he works out. daily with
the athletes from st. Looey. Sunday
when he appeared on the field with
out his uniform, great howl went
up from the Brownies, with whom he
is a great favorite.
Manager Coleman expects to pick
up several of the young recruits who
are to be farmed out for use on his
team.

get their speed and curves, not for
getting the ball park of pebbles and
rocks.
With Bill Stocksieck of the Sports
mems Park staff superintendening a
flock Of workmen an. ideal clubhouse
was erected in Bogalusa. It is so
ideal that tie players are going to
ask Bob Quinn to give them one like
it at Sportsman's Park this summer.
The ground lacks but one thing
that is grass on the infield. How
ever, there is hard surface, produc-
ing true bounds for rollers, and no
one SHES as they did over at Taylor
a year ago.
Too much cannot be said about the
good people of this fair community.
When Quinn finally closed with the
Chamber of Commerce. they told
Bob they would fulfill any request.
They have kept their promise.
Hotel Accommodation Perfect
At the Pine Tree Inn, where the
athletes reside, Manager Gardiner e&-
erts himself TO the limit to please.
With Manager Gardiner it is a pleas
ure to serve the ball players. He is
courteous and extremely agreeable.
Knowing the call for speed in the
dining room, Manager Gardiner per-
sonally conducts the service for.
breakfast and dinner in the evening.
The walters hop around, slide and
skate and the family of almost fifty
is waited on and served in less than
half an hour.
The MONDAY luncheon is not for
the hotel, with Manager Fohl con-
dCcting one practice a day. With
such a schedule in effect Manager
Gardiner carts a basket of sand
witches, buckets of coffee and. tea and
bottles of milk and cream to the ath-
letes at the ball park for their noon
day meal.
Service? That's what they're Civ
ing the Browns in Bogalusa. Bob
Quinn is to be- commended for Sc
lecting the place and the natives and
officials are entitled to extra COM
ment for the part they are playing in
dealing out hospitality and comfort.
There's nothing bogus about Bo-
Louis Times.

Browns Present Mayor
With Unusual Gift

Just before the ball game started
Sunday, the st. Louis Browns pre-
scented Mayor Sullivan with most
unique gift, the presentation being
made by Manager Lee Foil. The gift
was a regulation baseball upoTs which
each member of the Browns had writ
ten his name.
Mr.. Sullivan responded with few
words in which he impressed upon
the Browns that no gift they could
make would be cherished as much by
him and that he would prize the ball
and its autographs through life.
