New Orleans. June 1S-(Special.) )-"Sil- yer Bill' Phillips was the man who was principally responsible for Birmngham's downfall this afternoon, although the Barons helpoo the Pelicans in their task of defeating them by some costly errors.
 Four nits, however were all that the Barons were able to get off of Phillips, and had they played errorless game the result would have been the same, except there would have been a smaller score.
 Clarke started off on the firing line for Brming ghan, but New Orleans jumped on him in the very first inning, and with hits, a base on balls, sacrifice and bad error by Molesworth scored three runs.
 Then Manager Vaughn took Clarke out of the box and put in Sallee. But be- fore the inning was over 1t was proved that Clarke was not alone responsible for the runaway of the Peicans. three runs were scored off of Sallee, on a single, a long two-base hit and an error by Walt CTS at second. This made a total of six runs for New Orleans in the first inning.
  three successive innings. In the second Cargo put tlhe ball up against left field fence for two sacks and came in on Blakes single. In the third O'Brlen got a scratch hit between short and third, and went to second on Strattons sacri- fee. He went to third when Phillips went out from Walters to first. and came home whcn Oyler threw wild to Vaughn on a ground ball which Rickert sent him. In the fuorth Knoll got three-bagger into left center, and came home when Oyler jugPled a ground ball from Beck's bat.
 The Pc;icans scored their last run in the eighth inning. Rickert sent a three bagger into right center, then Cargo grounded to Oyler, who threw home in plenty of time to catch Rickert but Gar win dropped the ball and Rickert scored.
 Score Two In First.
 Birmingham scored two runs in the first inning Alcock singled over second. Molesworth bunted to Phillips, who threw Alcock out at second.
 Phillips soaked Smith in the slats and sent him to first. Gear bunted to O'Brien and beat it out, but when Molesworth tried to score from second Beck sent the ball from first home and cut him off.
 Gear got caught between first and sec ond and while Blake and Beck were chasing him mp and down Smith scooted home landing safely on Becl's wild throw to the plate. Phillips then gave Walters pass, and In an effort to catch him off at first threw to Beck, who missed the ball. and Gear came home.
 Birmingham scored two more runs in the fourth Walters singled irto right. Oyler grounded to Cargo. who threw Walters out at second Garvin walked. Then Manager Vaughn smashed the ball into deep center field. and both oyler and Garvin scored.
 Vaughn Plays Brilliant Game.
 Manager Vaughn played a brilliant game at first base. All of the Birmingham in- field seemed to be off on throwing par ticularly Oyler and the big Birmingham manager had some hard chances, but he accepted all of them in great style. Owing to the absence of Umpire Ken nedy who hasn't been seen here since the mob went after him Saturday, Jake Atz and Wilhelm divided the work of the umpire between them. Both of them ac- quilted themselves well and not single kick was registered on either side dur ing the entire game.
 Attendance Is Poor.
