Oscar streit Went up in Air and Lost
 Game.

Oscar Streit lost his game yesterday after it had appeared that he would shut out the Pelicans.

 In the third inning, however, Streit went up in the air and two bases on balls with two hits put over three runs, two other bases on balls coming in the inning. making four in that inning, but not doing any damage.
 The score remained tied until the eighth inning, when Mcfarland hit safe, advanced on Prout's sacrifice and scored on Leidy's hit.
 The Black Sox were unable to improve their hand in the ninth, the game wind ing up four and three in favor of New Orleans.
