Hitting the ball when hits meant
runs, and talcing advantage of errors
and slow fielding by the Methodists,
the Baptist boys again took the meas
ure of the boys from Rev. Gunn's
church.
Andreson opened the game for the
Methodists with a single, but was
forced at second by Forbes, who
promptly stole second and third base.
Rogers came through with a hit and

ma( j e three fine catches during this

Young Flanders, pitching for the
j Methodists, was given a rest after
j the third inning and Bob Magee went
; n the box. L. Boyd struck out, but
Bob walked McDaniel and Lambright,
go for a two-bagger and two runs re
sulted. Another hit, that should have
been an out, mixed in with a real hit
by Strahan and a stolen base, netted
two more runs. After that, Magee
and Reagan (who relieved him) kept;
the Baptists from scoring for three
innings

: girls who rooted enthusiastically for
j the Baptist boys.
In the seventh the Methodists with
three clean hits a base on balls scored
two runs and added three more in the
eighth on a single, an error, some
slow fielding and a two-bagger by
L. Simmons.
The prize hit came in the eighth
inning in the shape of a home fun by
"Babe" (Ruth) Lee with Lambright
and Bailey on base. It was a beauti
ful smash and cleared the high screen
in left field. Two more hits, one
each by Letten and Strahan, scored
another run and the Baptists wound
up their run-getting with one in the
ninth by Tom McDaniel.
Several errors were made on both
! sides, due to the uneven and grassy
i condition of both infield and outfield.
It was a nice game and was enjoyed

that could be expected.
Mr. Willoughby has done a very
creditable piece of work, inspired b./

It is not too often that we have
the pleasure of seeing any finer or

nesday from a trip over the old Co
lumbia Road from the St. Tammany
line to Angie. They were accom
panied by Mayor Sullivan, J. H. Cas
sidy, J. A. Spekenhier and H. E. Res
ter. The trip was made in Mr. Pe
terman's Cadillac and Mr. Hester's
Lincoln.
"I, and every member of the com
mission will agree that you need a
modern road built on the site of the
one we passed over today," said Mr.
Peterman. "I am only speaking for
myself, but I feel that every member
of the commission will favor building
this road with state aid.
Of course,
there is no appropriation just now
with which to build the road, as our
plans are made out for almost two
years in advance. I realize that this
road is travelled a great deal and in
bad weather is almost impassable. A
modern road means not only a great
deal to your community, but to the
adjoining parishes of this state and
the adjoining counties of Mississippi,
and official action will be taken at
[an early date, recommending the
building of this road with state aid,"
Mr. Peterman was loud in his
praise of the bridge across Pearl
river and the new highways which
have been built, including the streets
of Bogaiusa.
If state aid is secured, the parish
will only pay half of the cost of
building the road and the state one
half.
Mr. Peterman and his commission
are now maintaining over 700 miles
of modern roads in this state, which
include those of Washington and St.
Tammany parishes.
Mr. Peterman and party were
greatly impressed with the growth of
Bogaiusa since their last visit here.
