terday in the opening Of the Savannah
New Orleans series in a game which was
too one-sided to be Interestingly
About 1900 people witnessed the down
fall of the Pelicans, who were literally
applauded for their work, which was at
times brilliant. Campau was given an
ovation when he came TO the bat in the
fourth inning. Capt. Powell was also ac-
corded a hearty welcome. Dowie was
cheered to the echo when he knocked the
ball over the left field fence for a home
run, with the bases full. Roat was also
heartily applauded for two magnificent
stops of apparently safe hits, on which he
retired the batsmen. He played a great
game at second, accepting ten chances out
of eleven.
The work of the home team was bril-
liant throughout, and to praise that of
any one would be an injustice to the
others.
The battery work of Quarles and Hur-
ley was exceptionally good. Quarles al
lowed the visitors only five hits and
struck out nine men.

from Luby's bat in the eighth inning,
Cross stop of an apparently safe hit in
the fourth and Manning's catch of a hot
