The hoodoo which has been following the southerners during the trip was present again today, and the first inning once more proved the fateful one. Amherst scored two runs III her half of the first as a result of a base on balls, stolen base and two singles in rapid succession.

 Gene Demontreville, who is here with the Barons, had the honor of putting Johnny Carr in the business. He picked him up on the lots of Washington, and isn't ashed of his judgment either.- Shreveport Times.
 It is true that Frank worked one of his tricks. playing part of the Gulfport team in a Sunday contest and that by so doing he rested some of his regulars, and also incurred the displeasure of the Birming- ham papers, but the Dutchman's sickness had no material effect on the Pelican $ performance in their trip through the Orient State.
 If you want to keep Montgomery in the getting assert yourself. Don't let every body run. Malarky would never have pro- tested & single game had not the Bir- mingham papers spoken.
 You wouldn't believe that Johnny Carr studied two years for the priesthood. but he did. He finally decided that he had missed his called. and dropped into baseball. And he's going to be a sue cess. There isn't player in the league who goes into a game to win with more energy than Johnny, and he can't help his scrappy disposition. But the fans like him for it, at that.-Shreveport Times.
 It makes every one feel good to know that there is no trouble of any kind In the Southern league, and that everything is running smoothing. The league is in splendid shape and there should be no trouble to come up like last season. At land, Birmingham and New Orleans seem to be getting along as nicely as possible.- Montgomery Journal.
 The above is thoroughly characteristic of Horace Hood. Here we are on the verge of the greatest war that ever shook the Southern league, and still he pipes off peace and pillow songs.

 Shreveport, June 12.-(Speeial) )-Hick- man came to town today and with excel lent support from the Pirates won from the Barons by the tidy score of to l. Five double plays figured in the game, three of them going to the Fisheries, and two to the visitors.
 Hickman pitched great ball all the way, and at an opportune moment lined out a scorching hit into right field that brought in run and gave the twrler score later on in the proceedings
 In only one inning did Vaughn's men have anything on Hickman. In the third, Meek, Alcock and Gardner connected for hits all of the scratch variety and Meek scored the only run credited to the Barons as the result.
 Hickman's Tactics.
 Two bases on balls and three strike outs is what the box score shows to Hickmans credit, but there is not any thing to denote the careful manner in which he watched the bases. Three times d Baron was caught mapping, and three times they were out by clever work of the
  worth wandered little too far away from the bag, and Hckmans throw forced him to attempt to go down. Every Pirate except Daley, at once found busi- ness to attract them to the line between first and second, and the crafty Baron was ont, Grafhus getting the credit and four assits being scored. In the sixth, Molesworth sepeated the stunt, and was again out with King coming from third in time to get the put-out. Alcock did not profit by the example of the others, and in the sixth was caught in a similar manner, but this time Lewee secured the out in fast chase
 Sensational Fielding.
 It was a game replete with sensational fielding In the second when things look ed rather bad for Hickman, Carr and Clark pulled off q double that sent Wal ters and Gardner to the bench, and the Barons to the field. Demont started the fourth with d hit and Smith went out on a foul to King. Meek hit grounder to Lewee and neat fielding by Carr and Clark retired the side. Once more in the eighth Carr Lewee and Clark pulled off another double that ended the inning. The Barons also fielded some them selves Demont, Walters and Meek did d little stunt that ended Turner's bad inning. Smith ended the Pirates final half of the game by making d great catch of Kings fly, and heading Clark before he could get back to first.
 Turner Hit Hard.
 The Pirates scored their first run a base on balls to Daley. followed by Fish CTS sacrifice and q three-bagger by King. A double steal scored King. Turner had a bad rouni in the seventh. Clark started with d base on balls. King sacrificed, and hits by Graffius and Hickman. followed by an error by Demont on an easy chance gave the Pirates q biz boost. To make it easier Captain LeWee drove out three bagger and scored on Carr's hit. When the inning ended the Pirates had five more scores and the game to their credit.
 In the second round Meek, Alcock and Gardner by punching three scratch hits, gave the Barons their only run. They were helpless before Hickman all through the remaining innings. Although they accumulated eight hits. no two of them came in the same round.
