 New Orleans June 20.-(Special.)-New Orleans had little trouble in winning the last game of the series with Birming- ham this afternoon Only eight hits were secured off of Wilhelm, but they came in punches and these coupled with sev- eral costly errors, gave the game to New Orleans by the score of to ?.
 Wilhelm had Guese as his opposing slabman. and the lead given the Pellcans during the early part of the game en- abed Guese-who cannot pitch an uphill struggle--to acqult himself we'll
 While seven hits were secured off the Pelican twirler, they were not for as long distances as those which Rlckert cure off Wilhelm

 Two more runs were scored by New Orleans In the second 'Brien singled into center and went to second on Strat- 
 pass and when Wilhelm made an effort to catch him off the sack with a well di- rected throw, Vaughn let the ball go by him and O Brien scored, while Guese went on around to third.

 GarvIn Is Hurt.
 Jakey Atz announced just before the game that he would umpire. and after calling out the batteries said he would have an assistant in the person of Mr. Matthews. Mir. Matthews very promptly ] announced jokingly that he wouldn't work with, much less under. such a man as Jakey "Matty' took his position behind second base. however. and umpired the ! field until Garvin got his hand split in ! the first inning by foul tip. While not serious, the accident was a painful one, and Garvin will probably be out of the game for some little time.
 Reagan took Matthews place when ''Matty' relieved Garvn. Both he and Atz gave general satisfaction Not a single decision on either side was ques- tioned.
 The game was free from wrangling and bore a marked contrast to some of the Atlanta performances. Although many of the local fans were inclined to censure New Orleans players for their part in the Atlanta mix up, the sentiment has begun to turn since Birmingham reached town. Both the Barons and the Pelicans are getting along so well that fandom is now beginning to believe that at least part of the blame belongs to Billy Smith and Otto Jordan.
