New Orleans, May 25.-(Special.)-
Charlie Franks Pelieans made it three
straight by defe atinG the Coal Barons to-
day and handing them a shut-out into
the bargain.
Birmingham got one hit off Wilson, who
pitched but three innings and they found
Whitridge for six sIfeties. Wilson pitch
ed good ball as long as he was in the
box, but his arm went back on him and
Frank put in Whitrldge to relieve him.
Butler was rather easy for New Or
leans and they batted him for eight
singles. The Pelicans won by punching
hits in the first and third innings
The game was fast and snappy through
out and considering that the grounds
were still soggy and wet from the rain
that fell early in the afternoon the field
ing on both sides was remarkably clever.
Butler was a little off when it came
to locating the plate and walked a few.
while not one CT the Barons was passed
! by Whtridge. Wilson gave base on
balls in the first inning.
The early rain and the threatening
weather kept the attendance down to the
1900 mark.
The Pelicans after scoring two runs in
the first inninS held the Naughanltes
safe all the way and after the third in
| ming when they tailed two more runs,
