 By a score of 5 to 0 the Barons tri- umphed yesterday after noon over the pel- jeans of New Orleans.
 Mccain Robinson won his third success sive victory and scored .his third success sive shut-out
 Ginger Clark. in the gaudy uniform of "Cholly Frank Pelcans, suffered his tenth successive defeat of the season. Spectacular fielding timely hitting and fast base running gave the day to Sir minglam. for it is true that the visitors stung Robin son at times exceedingly hard
 There was an overflow attendance, the 5000 spectators necessitating the inaugura- ton of ground rules.
 Umpire O Bren officdated, and although one or more of his decisions was off color, behaved nicely
 The Barons broke the ice in the second inning. Bill Douglass drew four bad ones and am1tEed to first Meek hit short ly behind seeorld and when Rickert threw badly endeaV bring to perfect double play. Bill am bled to the keystone.
 Just then H enline dug out triple that had been latel 1t for some time within the bosom of his ,ood stick. and scoring was easy for the dissouri farmer.
 In the seve lth, however, the Barons cinched the ba tile, and caused 'Cholly'' Frank to throw several fits of the Dutch variety.
 In this inning the Barons played the game from the nside. and made the wis itors appear rid sculous.
 Downey led If with safety, but Henline forced m at second The fleet foot then purloin ed the keystone.
 Walters was pa SSed.
 Robinson buntec to the infield, and go- ing safe, filled tfe sacks.
 Manning bunted .prettily and 'squeezed" Henline across tn sack.
 Demont hit to l)undon and the cratic second-sacker let the hit glide through his fingers Walt CTS scored
 Demont attempt ed the delayed steal and Catcher Stratton. forgot himself. He threw to Dundon and Robinson talled be- fore the ball could be returned.
 There was no more scoring in that inning, but in the ninth another was rung up Douglass led off with d juicy swat to center and took second and third on successive outs of Meek and Downey. Henine's neat hit to the infield placed him across the rubber.
 With the points the Barols rested.
 There were tight places during the game
 In the second inning Delehanty opened with d triple to left. After catching Sab rie's fly, however, Molesworth slaught- cred the red snapper at the plate.
 In the ninth, too Delehanty opened with a double to deep center, but went out at third endeavouing to take that corner when Walters momentarily fum- bled Dundon's hit.
 And there were other places in which the Pelicans could have scored had d reeded hit been forthcoming, or had one Of the Barons fumbled.
 But always, in the nick of time, it seemed, one of the locals executed brilliant play. or Robinson caused the Pelicans to pop" up.
 An interesting feature of the game and one exceptional, to say the least. is that neither of the pitchers is credited with strike-out.
 Robinson's magnificent control probably 1 saved the day. H. walked no man, while ! Ginger was generous to the extent of l five passes.
 i An interesting episode was that con- l tention of Meek and Delehanty. l Delehanty was endeavoring to score in the second inning and when Meek touched 1 him with the ball it evidently stung him, hypsically, as keenly it did mentally.
 At any rate Delehanty fumed and puffed and blew. At the conclusion of the next inning l DeIehanty in passing Meek, gathered up the threads of the quarrel and made as If he would have enjoyed punching the ] hefty catcher's face. Umpire O'Brien 1 stepped between the two and Delehanty did not forcibly endeavor to remove the 1 official.
 Meek remained calm throughout and paid about as much attention to the ruff l lied Pelican as he would have had a big mosquito been kicking him in the sats.
 The last game occurs this afternoon.
 If the Barons win they will divide the series, after all
 Bill Bartley, Franks peerless twirler, will work for New Orleans while Rober- talle will lead the Barons.
 The game promises to be exceedingly ieteresting.
 Tomorrow Babbs Memphis crew will reach the city
 The Barons are not hopelessly out of the scrimmage. Never let that idea set tie in your mind.
 study of the standing will convince you of your error if you doubt.
