SHUT OUT BY PELICANS
DYGERT'S sPITBALLS roo MUCH
 FOR THE PRETZELS.
In the First Game of New Orleans Se- ries O'BrIen's Men Were Slaugh- tered in Good SIyie-ScOre
 6 to 0,

Dygert, the spitball artist of the Pelicans, was too much for the Pret- gels yesterday and he had them abso- lutely helpless during the entire game in New Orleans.
 While the Pretzels are credited with two hits one of them was decidedly scratchy and questionable Molesworth hit for two bags in the second inning and Lynch beat out an infield hit in the eighth. Dygert pitched wonder full game and while he gave a good at crucial periods. His great array of strikeouts always came when they were needed
 George stultz pitched game of ball out of the ordinary, his first and fifth innings being disastrous ones. In the first a lot of mean bunts seemed to put him in the air and he forced in run run by hitting batter batter; In the fifth runs should have come in, Shaughnes- sey dropping the ball thrown him by Stultz and Gardner dropping a fly. having a sore hand The Pretzels played a snappy game, the double started by Brouthers in the seventh inning being fast while Lynch threw a runner out at the plate In the eighth inning.
 The details of the game were as fol- lows:
 brief as balett dancers skirts. A fly to the outfield. strike out and an inheld hit.
 with a great big TT" showered upon him. Stanley beat out bunt. Nadeau hit a slow one to Shiebecn and beat 1t out and the bags were filled when Hahn beat out another bunt. Then Stultz lost his nerve and forced stan ley home by hitting Rohe. Stultz pulled himself together and struck out Beck but Nadeau scored on Williams's fly to Molesworth, Holly going out on a foull fly to Gardner.
 In the last half the only clean hit of the game was made off Dygert, Moles- worth landing on q two-bagger. Dy- gert struck out two men in that in ming, however. and let the last one down on an infield hit.
 Sullivan went behind the bat in Strat !. tons place in the last half. He struck out and Dygert and Stanley were out on hits to BroutherS
 Lynch got a base on balls in the third. but the next three were down on infield hits.
 Brouthers fumbled Hahn's hit in tho last half but Millerick threw him out stealing second and 1t was one. two, three with them.
 With two put in the fourth Moles- striking ShaughHessey out.
 With one OGt in the last half, Will Hams beat out a bunt and Shiebech made low throw of Hollx's hit W1-
