Clarke is a friend of Dannie's and was promptly presented with a base on balls when he announced ready for business. McDivitt followed with a beau tiful sacrifice and 1t began to look easy. Veitch knew what was expected of him and he rapped out one of the prettiest line drives to left field imaginable and Clarke did the rest. Daddy LaRocque was next up and a yell went up from the multitude. The old man had some thing up his sleeve and tore off two bags by long shot into deep center and

 Birmingham and New Orleans put up two of the most ragged exhibitions Of baseball yesterday. from technical standpoint, ever seen this side of Liberty Park. but with all that 1t was great fun and at several periods in the games ex- citement reached the fever stage. The morning game was squarely and fairly won by Tommy Gillen on gilt edge pitch ing, but rank fielding support threw the whole thing away after the word "cinch' had gone the rounds. Birmingham batted hard and put two nitchers out of business before the day was done, but only an even break could be taken out of the Pelicans Birmingham got decidedly the biggest bunch of errors to her credit In the first game, while in the error business Powells gang ran away from the Boiler makers like they were tied in the after noon game Here is about the way 1t happened:
 First Game.
 New. Orleans took the stick first and and was promptly blanked, as was the Boles aggregation in the successive tilt. The blank business kept up until the sec ond half of the second inning, when, after one man was out LaRocque cracked out a pretty hit to center Gettinger put an- 1T1 noH around to third. Captain Kalkhoff then, hit to right and LaRocque scored, leaving Gettinger on third. Culver struck out, but on Abbott's error Gettinger managed to cross the plate. Gillen kept the Pelicans saving air from then until the sixth inning, and 1t was a to l shot that the Boles bunch would win. In the third Bir mingham added three more runs by base on balls, McDivitts single and La Rocque's double. In the next inning New Orleans made two runs on series of passed balls and hits by Stanley and Atz, but the eighth was where they fixed us proper. Two men were out when Stafford hit to left. F'reeland went safe on a fielders choice and on Gilen's wild throw Stafford got to second. Atz hit a fly to center, but McDivitt dropped it and two men scored. Abbott and Mullen then hit safe, and with two errors by Martin the score went up four mort points. Kellum was taken out in the sixth and substi- tuted by Stewart.
 In defense of Martin 1t can be said that he was attempting to play shortstop with two fingers which were badly torn and on which the flesh was raw and free of skin. His errors cost the game but his plucki- ness in trying to play though disabled received praiseworthy comment from all the players and others who knew his con- ditlon.
 The score:
