New Orleans. June 14.-(Special.) 1.-The Pelicans flew away with the first of the series with Birmingham this afternoon, Phil Nadeau following Sahrie's single in the eleventh with beautiful -bagger to the eenterfield fence. wining the hard fought game by a score of 3 to ?. The Barons demonstrated some ability and Ginger Clark. their slahman, made it lively for the locals at all times. For seven innings he allowed only two short hits, the first one bumped from Breiten- stein's bat in the opening round after Beecher had walked. The double steal was then pulled off beautifully and run resulted. The other hit amounted to little, although Atz reached third be- fore the inning was closed.
 An error by Smith resulted in the sec ond Pelican tally, Carlos letting Fritzs fly get away after a hard run. A sacri- flee and Beechers single brought him home and the Pelcans worked indus trlously to break the knot until the last rally, when the winning run was made with only one man down.
 The Squeeze" Worked.
 Charley Fritz stabbed for the white- suited heroes and the pain of the open ing inning got easier and easier until at the end he was pitching a much bet ter article than in the first portion of the contest. Doubles by Gene Demontre- vile and Butter MilS' Meek scored the first run of the game, but the Dutch dumping steaded and the Demon only succeeded in loosening the knot tempo rarily in the eighth on account of Strat- tons wild throw to keep Gene from com hitting larceny after he had walloped out T safety The runner started down on a steal and neither Gatins or Atz vol unteered to take Strattons drive at the keystone, and Demont darted to third be- fore the hide was recovered Smiths time ly bunt to Fritz was teded too slow for a killing at the plate, the ball strk- ing Demonts shoulder and bounding away.
 Manager Frank directed things from the bench as did Manager Vaughn. the latter enjoying the company of a couple of cops and having several large laughs unul Clark finally weakened.
