Little Rock at New Orleans.

Mr.. Raglan was the entire exhibition at
West End yesterday afternoon. He Jug
gled with the Firemen for nine innings
and then dropped them with a sickening
thud, without run and only two safeties.
1t was Rips day, and he pitched In
better form than he has at any time this
year. His speed was wonderful, and he
could place the ball wherever he desired.
With one or two exceptions he never gave
batter more than two balls, and he
struck out seven of Atantas heaviest
hitters. In the first inning he struck out
three men.
On the other hand Moren. the smiling
| youngster on whom the Atlanta fans had
pinned their faith, was as wild as
March hare. and in the first inning three
runs were made without a hit all on
account of his inability to control the
sphere.
Raglan Supported.
Behind Ragan the team gave him gilt
| edge support with the exception of
Schiap, who made two errors, one of
which was ON a hard chance. 1t came
very nearly allowing Atlanta to score.
ard would have done so except for the
| brilliant fielding of Fred Moore The fast
short stop pulled down hot grounder
over second that looked impossible to
handle, and in doing so he slid along
the ground several feet as If sliding to
second. While he did not catch the rum
ner at first, he threw to Miller, who in
turn threw to Clarke and caught the rum
ner at the plate who had reached second
on schiap's errors and was attempting to
score.
The Barons have adopted the Little
Rock way of playing-getting runs in the
first inning and securely corralling the
game Hafford drew a base on ballsaas a
starter yesterday and went to third on
bad throw of Shea in trying to catch him
off the bag. Miller drew walk and Hem
messy sacrificed scoring Hafford. The ball
was thrown to the plate to catch Hafford,
/ but he was easily safe. 1t was the
| squeeze" play worked to perfection. Mil
Ter reached second and Hennessy was
safe at first on the play. Delehanty drew
walk. filling the bases, and the
! Squeeze" play was worked again by
Smith and Miller. the former hitting to
4 Krug and being thrown out at first, while
/, Miller scored. Clarke and Hennessy pull
ed off the squeeze" for the third time
and the latter scored while the former
was thrown out at first by Anderson.
| Schiap's long fly retired the side.
One More Tally.
Miller stung hot gFeunder to Ander-
son in the third and reached first on the
error Hennessy sacrificed him to sec
ond and he easily stole third. Delehanty
was an easy out. but Smith singled and
| Miller crossed the plate. Smith stole
second, but died there.
| In the fourth Schiap threw wild to Mil
| Ter and King reached second. Jordan
| hit over second and Moore made his phe-
II nenal stop, throwing to first just too
| late to catch Jordan. Krug attempted
to score from second on the play and was
| thrown out al the plate by Miller. So
passed Atlanta's only chance to avoid a
shut out.
| In the sixth with one man out, Smith
| singled to left and went TO third on Wilkie
Ciarke's double between center and left.
Shea threw to second to catch Clarke
and Jordan dropped the ball. He recov-
cred and threw to Shea and Smith scored
on a close play at the plate, but was
easily safe. Schiap went out from Moren
to first base and Clarke went to third,
scoring later on Moores single to center.
Smith singled to right and Moore went to
third, but both died on the bases.
McCay made a one-hand running catch
of line drive off Miller's bat between
right and center which was a feature of
the game 1t looked like the ball would
certainly go to the fence for two or three
bags, and the applause given McCay was
deafenirg
