Il
New Orleans. July Especially lit
took the Pelicans thirteen innings with
5000 rooters digging for them to bat out
victory from Smith this afternoon. For
an even dozen innings the score stood
even, and in the thirteenth Rickert, the
Pelican star, who had been covering him
self with glory, landed hard on a line
! drive that bounded into the right field
bleaehers for a home run. This won the
game. and it was a fit ending to one
of the most sensational games seen on
the local field this season.
Frank Smith was the hero. He deliv-
cred magnificent ball and held down the
Pelicans to eight hits and struck out.
nine men. Up to the eighth the Pelcans
had but four scattered hits. The eighth
lost the game for Smith, when he de-
served a victory, for his work was mag
niflcent throughout.
Umpire keefe Was of.
He received the right kind of support
in addition, and got few bad ones from
Umpire Keefe, who was the star last
season, but is certainly delivering Inferior
goods this year. The Pelicans were right
on edge however, and 1t would have been
hard for any team to win from them on
that occasion. There were three star fea-
lures In the Pelican fielding, and every
one robbed a hit In the first Delahanty
jumped three feet off the ground and
pulled down liner by Vaughan with one
hand. That kind of playing is hard luck.
In the ninth Duffy hit a hot liner to the
left of Atz that he handled in some un-
accountable manner, ant In the twelfth
there was the greatest catch by Rickert
ever made in these parts. Vaughan drove
liner to deep left field. Rickert, who
is lightning on his feet, ran down the
ball and turned completely around on two
occasions before he finally landed the
catch right against the fence. That
catch lifted Vaughan Off his feet. It took
him half an hour to realize the play.
Connors broke the Ice for the Pellcans in
the second, getting base on balls, a steal
down to second and scored on Adams sin
gle to right. In this same inning the score
was tied. f. Smith landed hard on the
nose for two bags to left center and came
in on Vaughans liner to center. Millerick
also got a hit and Lawler walked, filling
the bags with two out but Kanzler could
not connect safely and the side was out.
MlIIar Beats out Bunt.
In the fourth Millar beat out a bunt and
advanced on Magure's sacrifice, and F.
Smith walked. Then Duffy singled to
left, but Ricketts, ability to throw fright
ened the Iron Barons and nobody moved
O Brien's liner over second scored Millar
and Smith. That ended the run getting
for the Barons. In the eighth the Peli-
cans marked down two and evened things
up

There is an aching and tired feel
ing the liver, bowels and kidneys
become sluggish and inactive, the
digestion impaired, with little or no
appetite, no ambition for anything,
and "a feeling that the whole body
and mind needs toning up. The
trouble is, that during winter, there
has been an accumulation of waste
matter in the system. Herbine will
remove it, secure to the secretions
a right exit, and its tonic effect,
fully restore wasted tissues and
give strength in place of weakness.

Water birds, singular as 1t seems, are
the only ones whose skins never by any
chance get touched by water. So long
as they are alive and long after they
are dead they float with an air cham
Der all round their bodies, cunningly
contrfved OF waterproof feathers close
ly overlapping each other Thus, In a
sense, water birds may be distinguish
ed from all others by the fact that they
never wash. though we can hardly
blame them for that. because If water
could penetrate between their feathers
the poor things would never be dry.
