BLUES AND MAROONSVictors In Last Sunday's Double-Header,

IDeleatilg 1Whitecastle and Napoleon-vi hlie-Winners to BHttle Tomorrow.

The double-header at ClevelandPark last Sunday afternoon was wit-nessed by a mammoth crowd and fur-nished fairly good exhibitions of thenational sport, although the gameswere not as well played or as closelycontested as had been expected.

The Whitecastle Greys and Donald-sonville Blues crossed bats in the firstscrimmage and the locals had no diffi-culty in taking the visitors into camp,as the score of 8 to 0 will testify. Gon-dolti pitched for "',e'uns " and was in

uine form, keeping the safeties scat-tered and fielding his position beauti-fuliy. The support accorded him wasall to the molasses, not a single, soli-tary miscue being perpetrated by theboys in blue. Manager Williams ofWhitecastlt attempted to strengthenhip team with such well-known playersas Gibbs of Thibodaux, Pender of Ba-

,tou 1ouge, Wilbert of Plaquemine,aLd in'omherz, Rankin and Tircuit ofNew Orleans, but to no avail, as thelocals had ou their batting and field-i,.g ciontes and outclassed their oppo-nents at every stage of the game. Tir-cuit, a former Tulane University star,e.alyed to do the twirling for the Ib-ervillians, but was forced to retire inthe fourth inning, after having yieldedfive hits and an equal number of runs.Southpaw Mealy, who replaced him,was also banded a touch of high life,seven hits and three tallies being se-cured otf his delivery.

Here's a detailed account of whatLoou place:

The ladsFrom Nap'ville were no match for thosetrom Shrimptown, playing miserablybehinci Talbot and chalking up inex--usable bobbles at critical moments inhe game. Gauthier at short was the

3hief offender, and Sammy Gilbert,who succeeded him in that position,also failed to make good, notwith-

otanding the fact that both players aredeservedly classed among the fastest

and headiest in the Napoleonville lineup. Lefebvre, Plaquemine's premier;lab artist, had all kinds of curves

and speea to burn, striking out tennnu and refusing to give up even oneneasly bingle. Postell, the Maroons'

veteran center fielder, was injured inhe second inning by running into3uiliot at the home plate, hurting hisLeg so as to cause his retirement. HisLlace was taken by Harry Weber, of

he Blues, who helped to win the gameor the Ibervillians by slamming outjuicy single with two men on bases.

The Duplessis andSmoke Bend teams will meet on theDuplessis diamond tomorrow after-noon and a battle royal is expected.

The Blues will journey to Plaque.mine tomorrow to take a shot at theMaroons in their own back yard, andit goes without saying that the mix-upwill be a hummner all the way through.A big delegation of rooters will ac-company the locals to the up-riverburg.

Celebration of Jewish Holidays.The divine services held at Bikur

Cholim Synagogue in commemorationof Rosh flashono, the Jewish NewYear, were exceptionally interestingand elaborate, and the attendance waslarger than on any similar occasionin the past, there being present quite anumber of visitors from New Orleans,Napoleonville, Whitecastle, HohenSolms, Klotzville and St. James, be-sides numerous Gentile friends fromour own community and the surround-ing country. Rabbi M. Klein otlici-ated in his usual impressive manner,and the ancient melodies and solosfrom Schlesinger's music were ren-dered by a choir composed of the bestlocal talent in a manner never be-fore excelled for sweetness and har-mony. Rabbi Klein's sermon on NewYear's morning, upon the text fromEcc. I 4, "Generations Goeth andGenerations Cometh, but the EarthStands Forever," was listened to withmarked attention and highly appre-ciated by the large congregation.Every Jewish business house in Don-aldsonville and vicinity was closed inhonor of the holy day.

.Yom Kippur, the Day of Atone-ment, will be celebrated on Wednes-day next, the 18th inst. Services willbe held at 6:30 o'clock Tuesday eve-ning and 10 o'clock the following fore-noon, and the public is extended acordial invitation to attend.

A Ubastly Find.The remains of George Tucker, a

negro, were found in a clump of bushesbordering a ditch on Belle Heleneplantation, within a short distance ofthe Mississippi Valley Railroadtracks, last Thursday afternoon.Tucker had been living with AdamWilson, also colored, and was lastseen alive about two weeks ago, incompany with two of Wilson's boys.A moss pillow was found lying nearhis body, indicating that the unfortu-nate man had laid down to rest andhad either died from natural causesor been assassinated. Coroner E. K.Sims viewed the remains Friday fore-noon, but was unable to form anopinion as to the cause of death,owing to the fact that the corpse hadbeen attacked by buzzards and othercarrion creatures and was but littlemore than a skeleton. The sheriff'sotlice has been notified of the ghastlyfind and will probably make an in-vestigation with a view of ascertain-ing whether Tucker met with foul playor died a natural death.

The Chief sympathizes with Mrs. C.M. Odell in the bereavement occasioned5by the death of her venerable father,Elphege Alexander, who passed awayat his home in Gramercy at 8:30o'clock a. m. Wednesday, the 11thinstant, aged 68 years. The funeraltook place at noon the following day,
