LOCALS HIT BALL HARD
GRINDING.

Sallee, backed up by perfect support, let the poor Pelicans down without run and with only three hits yesterday after noon. The game was played without er- TOTS on the part of either team, and was replete with pretty plays with here and there a bit of sensational fielding.
 Niles made a real hero of himself by snatching balls from the air and prevent ing the Pelicans from getting man to counting territory. With the willow the erstwhile Cotton leaguer performed equally as brilliantly, and soaked the ball for tripple, double and a single. The Barons hit well throughout the game, although on several occasions a hit would have scored one or two additional runs.
 saIIee's Work.
 Sallee was in rare form. The hardest htters of the visitors were unable to land on the ball for safeties with the ex- ception of Williams and Gaston. The for mer secured two of the three hits, one a tripple He was the member of the vis- iting bunch to reach third.
 Whenever the Pelicans got men on bases, and they had few of them there. Sallee would settle down to work. As a result the next bird at the bat would strike out hit an easy fly or an equally easy grounder to the infield.
 But all of Sallee's good pitching would have counted for naught had the team not given him perfect support Alcock scooped up a number of hot grounders around the short territory and accepted
 
 jumped several feet into the air in the first inning and nabbed line drive from Breitenstein's bat which would have scored a run for the visitors had 1t fallen safe.
 No Errors By Pelicans.
 Franks homeless rag winners also play ed without an error. In fact there was not a play throughout the game that was not clean.
 The first chance the visitors had to score was in the first inning. Gaston led off with a single over second. He was sacrificed to second, but died there. Niles catch prevented his scoring. Again in the seventh Williams landed on one of Sallee's benders for three bags, but never got any closer to the plate, as the next two men were easy outs.
 Fast fielding by the visitors nailed the locals on the bases several times and kept down the score. In the first inning Niles was caught mapping at first and was thrown out. Smith tried to steal second, but Sullivan caught him a mile away from the bag. In fact Wagner was the only Baron who was fortunate enough to steal a sack.
 The Barons' Runs.
 The first two runs of the Barons came in the third inning on a single, a tripple and a single. Sallee, after knocking seven fouls, six of which went over the line. Niles put the ball to the right field for three bags and the long pitcher SCOT ed. "Matty'' put a clean single over sec- ond, and Niles walked home.
 When the sixth inning came around Niles led off with double between left center fields. and scored when Smith won his second coca cola by second single over second base.
 Wagner started the seventh inning with a trpple to the score board, but never reached the plate. Matty was an easy out from Nadeau to Beck. Alcock hit a fly to Williams and Anderson popped up to the pitcher.
 Gaston went into to work for the Peli- cans, and did we'll considering the cir cumstances. His slow ones were, how ever easy meat for the locals.
