NEW GOLF HONORS
COME TO LAFTMAN

There may be several people in
Bogalusa in possession of loving cups
won in golf tournaments, and there
may be some players with remark
able scores, but when it comes to
really sensation freak drives, r. H.
Laftman has won the gold medal.
The fence at the golf links on the
south side has net wire fencing,
just one wire of the net fence is
broken. Sunday Mr.. Laftman made
a drive. The ball was seen to strike
the fence, but no one saw it bounce
to either side. When the fence was
reached there was the ball hanging
to the one broken wire.
Instructor Turpie says it was the
most freakish drive ever made to his
knowledge and is willing to lay a fat
bankroll that it cannot be duplicated
in ten million chances.

reputed to be the best in all Dixie
land, was unable to reach .Bogalusa
on account of the annuling Of the
evening train from New Orleans, but
a local orchestra furnished good inu-
music.
It was one Of the greatest social
events in the history Of the city, over
200 persons attending.
During the evening motion pic
lures taken here on the occasion of
the dedication of the new High
School were shown for the first time
and were greatly enjoyed, especially
by local citizens.
The visitors were enthusiastic in
their praise of the entertainment
provided and no event has ever been
more enjoyed by the citizens of Bo-
gaiusa.

Three Pitchers Fail
to Stop Brownies
Brooklyn Champions Again
Outplayed and Defeated
in Second Game Yester-
day-Score 2 to 4.

st. Louis decisively defeated the
Brooklyn Dodgers in the second game
yesterday afternoon with a score of
IA. In spite Of the fact that Man
ager Robinson worked in three OF his
best available hurlers, the hard-hit-
ting Browns piled up enough runs IN
on ice.
George Sisler failed to connect for
his daily home run, but pulled off
real one when he stole home in the
third frame. Mamaux in the box for
the Robbies stood up like a wooden
Indian, unaware that Sisler had
started home, wound up and tossed
slow ball at Tobin who was batting.
Sisler beat the ball to the plate three
feet with the sensational tally of the
game.
In the first inning, Johnston, the
second man to bat for the Robins.
damned the ball far into deep center
and in attempting to stretch a triple
into homer was put out. No other
triples were hit during the afternoon.
Bill Gleason at second and Wally
Gerber at short took care of every-
thing landing in the interior garden,
Gleason handling both Of the doubles
made by the Brownies.
The Brownies scored first in the
second innings when Wetzel walked
on Mamaux and scored on Tobin's
two-bagger to left field. Brooklyn
came back in the third and Miller
scored on Koney's two-bagger.
The Robins were kept from scoring
from the third to the seventh, when
Cullop supplanted Davis in the box
for the Browns. Taylor landed on
one Of Cullop's offerings for dou-
be and rDmped in on MOhart's hit
to the center garden. MOZART scored
on 0lson's line drive through third:
Griffith's single through Sisler bring
Olson in with the third run for the
frame.
The game opened up with a whoop,
the first three men to the bat on
both sides retiring in order. Sisler,
for the first time here, was struck out
b. Mamaux on his first trip to the
plate, who also famed jacobson and
Smith.
Dixie Davis opened the game for
the Brownies and remained in the
box for six innings, pitching good
ball, and while the Dodgers garnered
six hits Of his delivery, they were
scattered and with air-tight support
from his teammates held the champs
to one run. The veteran, Nick Gull
lop, opened the seventh inning and
gave the Brooklynites eight hits and
three runs in three innings.
Manager Robinson was forced to
change his battery on three occasions
-Mamaux and Miller opened and
were succeeded by Mitchell and Krue-
ger, who in turn were relieved by Mo-
hart and Taylor, who finished up the
last two stanzas.

BROWNS TO TRAIN
HERE NEXT YEAR

Announcement was made by Mayor
Sullivan Monday that the st. Louis
Browns win come to Bogalusa to
train next spring. The citizens of
Bogalusa, as well as the members of
the Browns, had been hoping for
such an official announcement.
BOgalusa came to the front as the
ideal spring training camp within a
few weeks, and it was known that
several teams would be anxious to
train in Bogalusa next year..
Bob Quinn, business manager of
the st. Louis team, arrived last Fri
day, and following his visit with
Mayor Sullivan everything was
agreed upon.
It is said that other teams are
wanting the park located on Pleasant
Hill, which is a duplicate of the Rich

Mayor Sullivan stated to The Enter
prise that no negotiations had been
opened.

BOGALUSA GETS SIN.
RAINFALL IN 8 HOURS

One Of the heaviest rainfaIls in the
history of BOgalusa began falling
about z o'clock Sunday evening and
continued until after 10 o'clock, dur
ing which time over five inches Of
rain fell. AS a result all the streams
near the city were swollen out Of
their banks, the lowlands are flooded
and some damage was done to the
new streets. The rain caused a de-
lay in the street work. as well.
The rain appears to have been gen.
eral and extended beyond Columbia,
Miss. In Bogalusa little damage was
done except to the streets an dthe
telephone system which suffered a
few phones burned out. The water
in Bogue Lusa Creek threatened to
overflow Avenue B bridge, while the
city pumping plant was in consider
able danger from the flood waters.
Water was backed up to the street
near the Garden Theater and there
was from 10 inches to several feet
Of water in the park.
Coburn Greek, in the north section
of Bogalusa, was very high, being al
most to the floor of the bridges lead
ing to Bogalusa Terrace and Poplar
Quarters.
Damage to railroad property was
considerable. The northbound train,
arriving here at 1920, was delayed
until $3.50 by a washout near Fox
worth, Miss. Little damage was done
to the new model highway.
Lightning struck a telephone pole
in front of the new High School,
splintering the top; also peeled the
bark from a tree nearby.
The swollen streams around Boz
galusa kept hundreds from attending
the ball games here Tuesday and
Wednesday. Bogue Chitto river
reached a stage Tuesday which made
the lowlands impossible and delayed
the arrival Of the morning trains for
several hours. The transfer of pas
sengers was made near Sun.
Pearl River was rising rapidly on
Tuesday and would cause no surprise
If it reached the highest stage in re-
cert year during the present week.
Streams between Columbia. and
Bogalusa were at flood stage Tues
day and impossible. An estimate of
the damage cannot be made until the
high waters subside.

and is survived by five children, the
youngest 6 years old, and husband.

thing known to medical science could
not save her. The funeral services
were conducted Friday and was one
Of the largest attended funerals in
the history of Clinton.

STAG FOR VISITORS
GREATLY ENJOYED

The largest crowd that ever at
tended one of the Y. M. C. A. stays
witnessed the best fight bill intro
duced to Bogalusa fight fans this
season Tuesday night.
Young Tiny indicated himself in
the eyes of the fans for his past de-
feats when he hung a haymaker on
the jaw Of Purvis Artery, a 200
pound black from Frank Cassidy's Co
lumbia Camp, in the second round.
Artery, highly touted as being an
ex-A. z. F. battler, who keeps him
self in trim by working at a black
smiths forge in Columbia, out
weighed Tiny 20 pounds and with his
bullying muscles and ugly appearance
quite over-shadowed his lighter OPP
ponent. However, Tiny, whose fight
ing heart in the past has been ques-
toned, not having time to remem-
Der his saffron streak, put up a real
battle, knocked his man down twice
in the first with right cross, slug
ged him across the ring in the sec
ond until, hanging on the ropes help
less, took a swing on the jaw and
turned his toes to the daisies.
The preliminaries were equally as
good. In the semi-windup, Yellow
Spider, who defeated Young Tiny in
the bout last week, facing a faster
and more clever opponent in the
shape of Jimmy Talbot, managed to
gain decision after he had tired his
man out to a point where he was un-
able to hold up his dukes in the
fourth stanza.
Bill Bailey and J. D. Hill, similar
in every respect except as to boxing
ability, opened the evenings enter
tainment with four rounds Of fast
and fairly clever milling. Bailey,
whose left lay ready to land ter
rifle haymaker if given an opportun-
ity, failed to connect, but somehow
managed to outlast his opponent and
cut down the lead gained in the earl
Ter rounds.
Trainer Bierhalter of the Browns
as third man in the ring, again fol-
lowing the style of footwork laid
down by Jim Corbett, kept out of the
way of the wild swings of the pugi-
lists and handled tina bouts to the sat
isfaction of everybody.
One Of the features of the evening
was the male quartet from the col
ored Y. M. C. A. which, entering the
ring after the conclusion of the first
bout, took down the house with their
collection Of darby songs.
The stag was given in honor Of
the members Of the Brooklyn and St.
Louis ball clubs and the guests of
the Great Southern Lumber Com
pany, who are in Bogalusa this week,
and Pete WiIloughby, Searcy Young
and Secretary Blayney Of the Y. M.
G. A. deserve considerable common
dation for the excellent bill which
they provided.
