Notwithstanding the fact that a
steady rain was falling last Sunday
afternoon at thu hour set for the
beginning of the game between the
local Pelicans and the much-touted
Burton bunch, these persistent rivals
proceeded to "mix. it up" on the
Clevel.nd Park diamond in a very
interesting manner. The score at
the conclusion of the thrilling pas
time read 8 to 4 in favor of the
home boys, this being the third time
the bihds have defeated the lumber
men this season. The game preced
ed the firemen's parade, and was
witnessed by a small crowd.
The attraction at Cleveland Park
tomorrow afternoon will be a game
between the Pelicanl. and Thibodaux,
and according to the dope the en
gagement should be one of the hot
test of the season. The visitors have
several classy college players in
their line-up, and should be able to
make things interesting for the birds.
"Billiken" Howell, the crack L. S.
U. twirler who was given a try-out
by the St. Louis National League
team. and Braud, a Springhill Col
lege "phenom," will do the slab work
for the invaders, with Ed. Prejean
ieceiving. The Pelicans will present
their peerless battery, Dugas and
Vegas, supported by the same nifty
bunch of diamond artists who have
cleaned up all contenders thus far.
Weather permitting, the fireworks
will be touched off at 3:30 p. m.
Treille--Robertson.
