AN INTERESTING GAME
Niles and AIcock Made Errors Which Nearly Gave the Game to the
 PeIicans-Pitchers
 Worked We'll.
STANDING.

New Orleans showed a reversal of form yesterday and played great game or ball The Barons were forced to nsht for twelve innings before the winning man could be showed across the home plate. The score was. Birmingham 2; New Orleans l.
 No one who witnessed the game yes terday and the one Monday could realize frat it was the same team playing against Birmingham. Everything was snap and ginger yesterday-only one error being chalked up against the penant winners and that one lost the game.
 On the other hand Niles and Alcock seemed to have an on day. The former made two pebbles in the tenth inning which put New Orleans runners on second and third, and in the twelfth the home sack was again threatened as a result of a mIscue by Niles. Alcock's error in the seventh gave Williams life at first he stole second and scored on Holly's drive to left for two bags.
 Proves Statements.
 The way the New Orleans team play ed ball yesterday only serves to prove the statements that the homeless birds loafed in the game Monday, and that they made disgraceful exhibitions of themselves in Atlanta by loosing six contests. Ihe twelve-inning scrappy game showed that crippled as they are. the Pelicans are still capable of putting up warm art- ole of the national game when they try.
 No one has a kick coming on the game yesterday It was won by the Barons by superior playing and through the pitch ing of "Ginger" Clark This senior Gin ger' let New Orleans down with only three safe bingles, and one of these might have been an error on the part of Alcock its just a matter of opinion. Anyway for twelve spasms Ginger" made nine birds fan at the ball and hit only the atmosphere, and only two really secured clean safeties.
 How the Runs Came.
 Ginger kept the Pelicans practically nit less until the seventh. In the third All cocks slip gave Gaston a scratch hit, but it amounted to nothing.
 In the inning which has always been Birmingham's Jonah-the seventh-Wil- Hams landed on the initial sack by AL cocks error. He committed grand lar ceny to get to the keystone bag and scored easily when Holly doubled to left.
 In the last of the ninth the locals put on their garrison finish clothing and started after Manuel. Niles, first up, soaked a safety over second, and Mont gomery sacrificed in order to advance Niles. Smith came up with his TWO bagger stick and put the ball over the head of the "$1000 Beauty" in left-other- wise known as Breitenstein. Niles trotted home Tarlton went out from second to first and Wagner struck out Matters looked bad In the tenth. With one out Niles made two errors in suc- cession, letting Sullivan and Manuel reach first safely. Gaston hit a grounder to Tarl- ton and was out at first, while the catcher and pitcher went to third and sec ond respectively. Then Ginger squared &C., counts with Nadeau by striking the Frenchman out, retiring the side. Trouble In Eleventh. Trouble for the Barons came In the eleventh again through Nnes error he fumbled Holly's grounder and then threw wild to first, allowing the Pelican short stop to reach second. However the next two men up were easy outs and Holly | died on third.
 In the tenth and eleventh the Barons | were retired in one. two, three order | and it looked like tie gamefi The twelfth however, brought the winning run. With one out Holly fumbled Tarlton's grounder l Wagner hit a grounder to Williams and was thrown out at first, but Tarlton ad' | vanced to second on the play. Matty faced | Manuel with blood in his eye, but the | Pelican was afraid of the Baron and
 walked him to first by the four bal l route.
 It was up to Alcock and the kid did his duty. With two strikes on him he soaked d single to right field. Phillipes fumblec
 the ball and then threw badly to tht
 plate, giving Tarlton plenty of time tC
