The Pelicans were an easy mark for
Illusions Pets yesterday afternoon and the
cranks saw the first victory OF the team
in the league series on the home grounds
The Savannah boys were out to win and
no mistake. They opened up with rush
and had the game cinched in the second
inning. The Pelicans put up a very poor
article of ball and the whole team was in
the air.
No less than three pitchers occupied the
box for New Orleans In the first three in
nings and the Savannah batsmen succeed
ed in knocking two of them out. Burris
started in TO pitch for New Orleans. He
gave two bases on balls, hit a man and
was touched up for three hits in one in
ming. Sutley replaced him in the second
inning, but it was case of from the fry
ing pan into the fire.
Stultz pitched a steady game for Sa-
vanah and had good control, but he was
anything but a puzzle to the Pelicans, and
they hit him heavily.
The game was full of errors on both
sides and the fielding of neither team was
especially brilliant. The star play of the
game was the beautiful running catch of
Wiseman, New Orleans center fielder.
Stultz sent long fly to center, which
looked like 1t was surely good for two
bases but Wiseman, after making a des-
perate run, reached up, and brought it
down.. When the little fielder came in he
was cheered and cheered until he was
obliged to doff his cap.
The batting order of the team was
changed and Meaney opened up. He was
given his base on balls and reached third
when Huston hit safely to right Weikart
was hit by the pitcher and Huston went
10 second. Dowie got a nice hit to the
right of second base and Meaney and Hus-
ton scored. Deyer1ey got a hit over sec
ond and Dowie was thrown out at second.
Deveney stole second without throw.
Ballantyne famed out. Herbert reached
first on a gift, which filled the bases but

over second, but died there. Ballantyne
threw to second to keep Graney on first,
and Morrison started home from third.

to third on Byers' error, which placed
Herbert on first. Hallowen was thrown
out by Langsford. Stultz hit over secord,
