New Cavalary Stables
! Approved By Inspector

Major Morrow, U. S. A., instructor
inspectors of cavalry, spent Wednes-
day in Bogalusa and attended the
drill of Bogalusa's cavalry troop
The primary purpose of Maj. Nor
rows visit was to inspect the stables
lately erected by the Great Southern
Lumber Company for the troop, but
Captain Lindsey determined to show
him the full strength and ability of
Louisiana's only cavalry unit and as a
result more troopers were present at
this drill than at any held since the
organization of the troop.
The stables erected to care for 80
government mounts, which are a part
of the troops equipment, met with
the approval of the inspector in every
respect and his wire went forth next
morning recommending that the
horses be sent as soon as possible,
which, it is estimated, will be not
later than the tenth Of next month.

The "Tom Thumb Wedding" pre-
sented at the Garden Theater last
Saturday evening, was witnessed by
the largest crowd that ever attended
local talent show and tie ,seating
capacity of the theatef was over
taxed, even with the addition Of the

through the performance.

Times-Picayune Picks
Bogalusa as Winners

The next and final game at Boga-
lusa in the interclub match between
Audubon and the Bogalusa Country
Club is causing considerable specula-
ton.
It will be quite feather in the
cap of Bogalhsa to win this match,
and an additional honor for Harry
Turpie, professional, who has taught
practically every Bogalusan all he
knows about the game.
The probability is that Bogalusa
will take the next game, which will
be played very shortly on the piney
city course The Audubon stars are
somewhat at sea on the course that
runs difficulty through the woods,
while the lumbermen know every tree
by its first name.
Audubon won the first game Of the
series on their own course by two
points, Under the Nassau system Of
scoring. Bogalusa took the second
game last Sunday.
Features of the game were the
playing of Mayor Sullivan and young
Henry Turpie. son Of the profess
sional, while D.. Morgan played es-
pecially we'll and secured his full
quota of points.
On the other hand, J. L. Ewing, L.
L. Watson, Hamilton Barton and p.
L. Dumas played high-elass games
for the local club.
Now that Audubon has a speaking
acquaintance with The Bogalusa
course, the next game will probably
be played hard and close. But ac-
cording to present indications Boga-
Iusa viii finally win the match
The TiTnes-Picayune.

No Ball Game Sunday;
All to Honor Mother

There will be no baseball game in
Bogalusa next Sunday, owing to the
fact that Manager Black thought that
every member of the team, as well
as the fans, would prefer to honor
mother, and as a result he did not
arrange for q ball game on this date.
The bali game and the Mothers Day
program would have fallen at the
same hour. Manager Black has re-
ceived congratulations for his fore
sight and consideration. He prom
ises the fans a good game for the
following Sunday, however, but
would not announce who would be
taken on by the Blackbirds.
