      The barnstorming Cincinnati Reds came through Lafayette, probably in 1915, to play an exhibition game against the Southwestern Louisiana Industrial Institute team. The old clipping I found is undated, but says that the “local boys” kept the game “interesting”

    That’s even though the final score was 13 to 1 and it wasn’t in favor of the locals.

    “Considering the odds the boys were up against, this was fine,” The Advertiser reported.

    “The Institute boys were weak on batting and especially so in the last half of the game, when left-handed Frittery began shooting in his swift curves. The boys’ strong point was their good capable playing and Walter Billeaud, short stop [sic] made a feature catch that brought him a round of applause.
