When will some players discover
that the up-all-night-and-game-next
day combination won't work?
It is doubtful that we could beat the
Maroons when playing at our best, but
it's acertaintythat we could have given
them a harder run if the birds had put
up even their usual game.
Twelve miscues and numerous dumb
plays, with Prejean and Reed-the two
the most was expected of-getting more
than half of the had marks. Wouldn't
that give you a night-mare?,
Creoli, II. Weber and M. Variant
were the only birds that didn't break
into the error column.
Landry is improving in his stick
work, getting two doubles and a single
out of five times up in the two games.
It diG a true fiend good to see the
'team-work displayed by the Maroons.
And the manner in which they worked
the "squeeze" was splendid. The run
ner never seemed to doubt-the batter's
ability to hit the ball and would start
home a-belling just as soon as the
pitcher threw the sphere.
In theatrical parlance, Cleveland
Park will be dark tomorrow, the Peli
cans going to Plattenvilie to again
try conclusions with that team, and it
is hoped they will be more successful
than on previous occasions. The birds
are just as strong as the Plattenvilles
in every position and if they play any
kind of ball should win out. The La
fourche branch train of.the Texas and
Pacific Railway which leaves at 11:40
a. m. will carry passengers at reduced
rates and remain over at Plattenville
until after the game to bring the base
ballists home.
