New Orleans, June 2.-(SpeciaL)- P wells Pelicans defeated the Coal Barons again this afternoon by score of to l. Until the eighth inning it look ed like a shut out. but Warren came to the rescue and earned one of the few earned runs of the game. He hammered out a clean single to left field and came racing around the circuit on Browns hard two bagger to the end of the field. It was beauty of drive and the crowd in the stand very generously recognized the fact and paid Brown the accompany ing tribute Haller had his men well in hand the greater part of the game. but once or twice they recorded errors, but more often brilliant plays were the gen. eral order of things.
 Smith on short was fast as a flash and although he did not have a clean record the way he picked up some hot ones robbed a number of hits Warren was also clearly up to time and LaRoc- que also played a good game. In the seventh Smith, Haller and War ren came in for a fast double. Westlake hit one down to Smith with Mullen on | second and Smith shot it down to Hal | Ter in plenty of time and Haller returned | 1t to Warren retiring Mullen at third It was an excellent piece of ball playing. | The game was filled with that kind of work.
 Four Double Plays. l The Pelicans went down On the record | with four double plays, some of which
 were lightning in speed. Stafford also
 put one over left-field fence for home
 run The Coal Barons put up a much
 more aggressive game than yesterday,
 and with Wilhelm in the box tomorrow
 the chances are that they will make
 things lively for Dannehower. Owing to
 frequent rains during the early after
 noon there was hardly more than 900 peo-
