ter. He was not present at the park when his men were the leading comedians in the farce yesterday The Pelicans, when they did get men on bases, would not run from one sack to another This statement has exceptions in the persons of Williams, Nadeau and others, but the rank and file of the visiting crew appeared to be filled with don't care a rap spirit"
 Patrons in the south desire to see the game played on high plane. Farces like that of yesterday will kill the game, not only in Birmingham, but throughout the south. For the sake of clean sport it Is hoped that the Pelicans will play the game as they are capable of playing it and work hard. whether in victory or defeat
 New Orleans has the pennant won. and if every remaining game of the season Is lost the flag will be still the property of the Pelican crew. With all this true, the members of the team should work as hard for victory now as early in the season Lovers of the game will not toll selves will kill the sport If such practices are continued
 People in the stands became next" to the loafing tactics of the visitors early in the game, and did not fall to shout play ball' and play the game" on nu- merous occasions. It is not the intention to convey the idea that New Orleans laid down yesterday, but the members of the Pelican crew were listless and did not care how the battle terminated. Cut such tactics out and get in the game in the future. Trim Birmingham or any other team. if good honest and consistent ball playing will accomplish the trick. Eliminate the listless work for the sake of the game let alone the respect that should be paid and is due the patrons of the sport.

 Holley's catch of Matthews long drive to deep center with his back to the ball on the dead run was easily the fielding feature of the game.
 Beck's knocking a ball over the fence and throwing one to the right field fence was all uncalled for. Frank when his birds were at home handed out the punk lest" balls when his team was in the lead.
 Billy" Carpenter the best indicator handler in the south taught Beck and Manuel a lesson yesterday when he stopped the game and called the former down and made "Moxie" run to the fence for the ball, which had been thrown away.
 Montgomery played great game at third and had to handle some wicked grounders.

BAR0NS VICTORS IN FARC|CAL CONTEST Exhibition Put Up by New Dr. leans Was DisgracefuI THE GAME WAS USELESS Pennant Winners Spoiled Pleasure of Battle By Loaflns Tactics and
 Poor Fielding Throughout
 the Contest.
THE GAME WAS USELESS
STANDING.

Birmingham was the victor in the first so-called ball game of the last series of the season with New Orleans. The series was transferred to this city from Atlanta, which has been the temporary home of the New Orleans crew for some time. It is a pity that Manager Vaughan ever consented to allow such a don't care aggregation of ball tossers to disgrace the fair name of the national game In Bir mingham. When the last man on the Pelican side was retired in the ninth in- ming at second, sigh of relief was sent up by the faithfuls who were present, and the battle as far as the score was concerned was 5 to in favor of the Barons.
 The exhibition put up by the visiting crew was the worst that has ever been presented to fair minded and intelligent patrons of the game in the south. Errors galore were made in the game by the Pelicans, but such work is part of the sport. Demb work is the limit and Is condemnad stronger than anything that can be handed out, but the New Orleans crew even went further than dumb work. The locals on the contrary played good ball and fought hard for victory.
 Birmingham patrons of the game are considered the hardest losers in the world, and the fact will not be denied, but 1t is not the question at issue. When a crowd of ball players, men who are paid to run out hits and to play the game as it should be played, deliberately lay down and quit, the time to call a halt has ar rived,

The Runs Scored,


 It was the unanimous opinion of those who witnessed the game that the Pelicans played like rellcks Notwithstanding the threatening weather about eight hundred spectators were on hand for the purpose of seeing the flag winners play ball Inn agine their surprise when they were pre- sented with a farce comedy that would do credit to Murray and Mack. or some other high-class men in the theatrical world who make monkeys of themselves because they are paid to do so. Such sport as put up by the New Orleans gang yesterday will not only kill baseball in this city. but has a tendency to create ugly rumors which will hurt the game quicker than all the dumb plays in the world.
 Nadeau, by his errors. helped the locals to two runs. Nadeau makes no claim to being third sacker. He played the best he could and deserves credit for trying to help out his team. He did not loaf at any stage of the battle.
 Birmingham scored in the first inning after blanking the visitors. Niles hit to Holley and the lad fumbled. allowing the IL. Montgomery dumped one in front of the plate and died at first, while Niles trav- eled to second. Smith scored the local man with a safe drive to center. Two more were added in the fourth. Matthews lead off with a double to left and ad- vanced on Alcocks sacrifice Anderson was passed by the four-bal route, Des- sau hit to third and Nadeau threw the ball to the smoker. allowing Matthews and Anderson to register in safety. The last runs scored by the Vaughanites were copped In the sixth. AlcoclS led off with a single. Dessaus double to left field advanced him and hits by Montgomery and Smith sent both home. Montgomery was nailed at the plate trying to score on Smiths single.
 There was nothing doing for the visi- tors in the run getting until the fifth, when Williams double and Holley's sin gle scored the former. A perfect throw by Smith from right field prevented Man uel scoring from third on Gaston's out to right. The play was a neat double. Singles by Nadeau, Beck and Williams scored the former in the sixth
 A great deal more could be said about the game but for the good of the sport let's forget it.

Pelicans Had Chances.

New Orleans had several chances in the contest yesterday to make things in- teresting for the locals, but when man secured first, the second station was evil dently too far for him to go. This occur red in several instances. The Pelicans had men on the Initial sack on numerous oc- casions but the runner took his time in going to second with the result that the ball was always found at second ahead of him. Big Willie" Sullivan was the chief offender in this respect. though 1t must be acknowledge that he can not trot much faster than a snail. Phillips was also an offender. Otto Williams, Bretenstein, Nadeau and Gaston with Eddie Holley played the game, ran out everything and deserve credit. In fact the catch made by the latter of long fly off Matthews bat was the fielding feature of the game. Holley was compell- ed to doff his 'skypiece" in acknowledge ment of the demonstration in his honor.

Secretary Hitchcock.

No one except the Hon. ETHAN ALLEN
HITCHCOCK can tell what pressure was
brought to bear on the Secretary OF the
Interior to induce him to "let up" on
United States Senator JOHN Nipple
MITCHELL when that distinguished per-
son was found to be involved in the Ore
gon land frauds Mr.. HITCHCOCK will not
tell. He is not that kind of man.
Senator M1TcHELL-he adopted that
name when it became convenient, years
ago, for JOHN NIPPLE to disappear-was
the valuable accomplice OF band OF
land pirates who sought to make their
fortunes by robbing the Government of
the United States, that Is, the people OF
America. just as many otherwise thor
oughly respectable persons regard eva
sion of the customs and internal revenue
laws as at least justifiable, many others
think it no harm to rob the Government
of land. Mr.. NIPPLE MITCHELL entered
the employ of party of such lawbreak-
ers and aided their schemes by his pro-
fessional advice and official influence.
He did it with his eyes open, knowing
that he was violating the law and rem
dering himself liable to fine and impris-
onment. He counted on his wealth, his
office, his great political influence to
protect him from punishment.
He counted without Secretary HITCH
COCK, however. He looked to find AN
easy going, tolerant, not too inquisitive
figurehead in the Interior Department.
Instead he found quiet, thorough, stiff
necked, honest man, who remembered
nothing except his oath of office when
the prosecution Of thieves, big or little
became necessary. HIPPLE-M1TcHELL
must have been surprised when he
sounded the full depths OF ETHAN
ALLEN HITcHcocK's conception OF a
Federal officeholders duty.
Secretary HITCHCOCK has not attitu-
dinized for the benefit of his reputation
or to increase his popularity. Where he
saw a wrong he righted it as matter of
course, The fact that he would be first
to disclaim special credit for doing his
work thoroughly. inteiligently and effect
lively does not alter the other fact that
he has earned the gratitude of the public
by the manner in which he is performing
the duties of his Office.
