The New Orleans club is never beaten
until the last man is out in the decisive
inning. They are liable at any time TO
break out into batting streak that sweeps
everything before it. 1t struck them yes

sixth inning, and the way they did paint
the atmosphere with fireworks was

men had crossed the plate, and they left
trail of terror in their wake that kept the
crowd shifting uneasily in their seats until
the last armed foe had expired.

again put the ball over the left field fence
for a home run. McVcy flied out TO
Vaughn. Bradley foul-tipped out. Bligh
and Lowcry made singles, but Webbur
ended the game by a fly 10 Vaughn. On
