The Montgomery advertiser., 1903-09-11

New Orleans. Sept. 1o.-(Special.) .)-The Pelicans shut out Montgomery at Athletic Park this afternoon to the tune of to o in one of the prettiest and fastest games seen this season. But one error marred the contest and this ono was contributed by the visitors, the score of the New Or leans team in the error column showing up clean. For five innings 1t was nip and tuck, and neither side could get a man across the plate.. In the sixth, however, the Pelicans cut loose, double, two sim gies and Adamss home run bringing in four tallies, @ lead which was convinc- ing. Additional runs were added in the seventh and eighth innings by New Dr. leans. the problem of Polchow's curves having been pretty well solved by this | time.
 | The crowd which attended the game was not of large proportions. It had rained heavily throughout the day and by 3 o'clock the grounds were a sea of mud. For this reason an almost errorless con test was doubly creditable. There were about 600 persons in attendance and when they saw mud inches deep around the bases they were pretty well convinced that the struggle would be marred by the
 Dannehower was in the box for New Orleans and never did the little southpaw do better work. He seemed desirous of showing his friends that he was out to win and just as good as ever. and the way he put his slants and benders over the plate was a caution. He had speed to feet, as the fact that he allowed but one man to walk demonstrates clearly. In ad- dition hee started the ball rolling in the sixth inning by terrific two- -oagger to twirler, was an enigma to the Pelicans for five long innings. He used a very slow ball throughout the game, and If he has any speed, did not turn 1t out. His con- trol was all that could be asked. For the five opening innings Pelican after Pelican faced him and failed to make good. But one hit was scored off his delivery in all this time. The brand of ball he was dish ing out. however, meant sudden death when once 1t was solved and the solution came in the sixth. In this inning Danne- double double to deep left Wiseman singled prettily, scoring Dannehower and Evans followed with a nice one past third. Montgomery sacrificed, sending Wiseman to third and Evans to second Adams leaned squarely on the first ball pitched and drove the sphere on line into the middle of the bleachers for home run.
 In the seventh inning Brouthers tore off two-bagger, was sacrificed to third, and came home when Dannehower hit slow one towards short.
 In the eighth inning successive singles by Adams, Law and Keenan brought in another run.
 From the way the game opened up it appeared that Dannehower would be easy piclxings for the Alabamians. After Bur nett and Childs had been retired, Moles- worth hit safe past third and Manners singled over short. Clark lined out a long one to centerfield which looked good for two bags, but Wiseman, after a terrific run managed to spear the sphere and re- tire the side.
 In the second inning, Stickney. the first man up, singled over second. Spratt struck out, Busch hit to Evans and the heady second baseman touched Stickney as he raced by and doubled Busch out at first. From this time on the visitors never
