Despite a very threatening night there was quite a number of spectators present and they were well repaid for coming out. for it was a sight worth seeing. The little folks behaved like grown-up ladies and gentle men. and all seemed to have a good time.

New Orleans, La, June 1.-The Peli- cans shut out the Coal Barons this af- ternoon before $500 people by score of 14 to o. The story of the defeat was a very simple one. The Barons from the energetic Alabama city could not hit Stewart and the Pelicans, after the sixth inning hammered Campbell hard Up to that fatal inning the little pitcher was holding down the league leaders in great shape but base on balls followed by a single started the racket, and every man on the team scored once and Atz, the fast second baseman, came in for two runs. A couple of two baggers and five singles was the hits recorded.
 Campbell tried hard to pull himself to- gether, but he lost his grip somehow and could not settle down. The team was also shaky in its fielding for that one inning, also. It was the only inning, however, for after that Campbell made out very successfully. F. Smith on short ceme in for several very pretty pieces of work and Warren on third also did some fast work.
 LaRocque Makes a Hit.
 LaRocque on second as usual made big hit with the crowd. As he came to the bat for the first time two policemen took him in charge. LaRocque was frightened. for he had been told a long fake about some unknown person who in tended to make trouble. To carry out the joke Goodenough came forward and pleaded with the officers, but they got angry and hustled LaRocque over to the Rooters' Club stand and one of the root CTS in a neat speech presented the old timer with a box of cigars. The incident created considerable amusement.
 Birmingham by her defeat today did not lose any friends here. The team it. self worked all right and the local fans think that Haller has a good club. They are all afraid of Wilhelm, who will pos sibly pitch tomorrow. The score Is as follows:
