Ezhibitaon Season Averages.

NeW Orloanh Ficayune
 The Birds batting and fielding averages for the exhibition season find Steve Reagan easily leading the regular players by q good margin, though Gus Dundon started out Sunday. his first ''out' this season, in fine style. Truth to tell. the major league mound artists had our boys at their mercy much of the time. but homeruns by Charley Dexter and Harry Matthews during the series have helped. Dexter having obtained his off no less parsonage than veteran "Cy' Young. stevey Reagan rapping over 300. and Jack Manning hitting .26o. with weimar constantly improving and now mailing BOO. the outfieid; seems best guarded by these three Huelsman, however. has hit .179 and accepted all chances. though his arm is very poor.
 Light hitting by Leo Huber and Eddie Reagan would seem to chuck theinr chances for the infield work they have so gallantly attempted to improve, and Dexter. Dundon. Demont and Rohe are to work regularly this season in the inner circle.
 March 20 found the Pelicans padding the Phiiadelphia Yannigans. It was the only game won this season so far. Charley Frits and Otto Hes were the pitchers. Pruitt who pitched seven innings of the 11-inning e-e tie, played with Cleveland April ,. and was scored on only once, deserves much credit, however. for his work on the slab. as does Eddie Cefaiu. whose performances have been good.

membered them.
A number of men had gathered by
this time, and I. B. Smith, who own
ed the driving team, undertook to
drive the boar, away. Leaving the
