PELICANS TAKE
 TWO FROM GULLS

New Orleans, July 3.-New Orleans won hoth ends of double header from Mo- bile today by scores of 10 l aa1 10 c. The first game. brilliant pitchers battle, went ten innings, and the second' dragging one-sided affair, ended after Mobiles fifth, darkness forbidding further play
 Hess and Campbell were equally enec- tive. and not until Barr put the pail over the fence in the tenth was the question of superiority settled. Barr scored Johnston from first, and so his drive could be credited only as three- [ bal agger, and the run scored by himself
 not counted. Allen was an easy mark
 for the locals from the start of the wind
 up fray, and his support was ragged.
 Veazey allowed but a single hit in the | five innings Scores

Games Today
HY HILL AK

The Barons and the Billikens. accord ing to the rather prosaio custom which seems to exist in baseball, divided the double header yesterday, the visitors, in easy manner, winning the morning game 6-1, and the Barons having lit tie trouble in copping the afternoon game. 40.
 Until the seventh inning the indica- tions were that the morning game would be decided by a very narrow margin However in that fatal round, Pitcher Kent, having lost the knack of throwing with accuracy, tossed the battle into the camp of the Billikens. In the afternoon the final result was new CT in doubt. Maxwell held the visi- tors with marvellous ease. while the Barons not only hit Lelivelt hard, but hit. him when hits produced runs.
 On account of the ragged work Of the locals in the seventh of the first game. one could not term 1t an exhibition of fine fielding. But in the second the work of each aggregation was bril- liant. and several individuals pulled off stunts calculated to make the hair sep arate and stand on ends. Each team in the second had eighteen assists, and the one error of the scrimmage, charg- ed to Gribbens of Montgomery, was the result of too much speed rather than a lack of agility

Barons Win The Afternoon Game
POINTERS TO RANDOM

yesterday in Chattanooga. The Look outs won the first game, and the Turtles the second
 As a result of the first game, Bir- mingham was as much in the second division as the first, having been uea with Memphis for fourth place.
 But Dickson, our old side kick, dropped the harpoon into the flesh or the Lookouts in the afternoon, and as a result, the Barons and the Turtles are tied for third place. Pretty soon Rick Woodward will be en route to Philadelphia. If we had another Maxwell, we would conquer the earth.
 Rick Woodward served the Barons lunch at the park yesterday at 1:So o'clock. On the menu was soup, fish and ice cream.
 With that mixture doing work over time, how could they have done other wise than win the afternoon game?
 Lajoie had been out of the game for two weeks with stomach trouble and was sitting pale and wan on the bench. Cleveland was one run behind and men were on third and second in the ninth. Two were done.
 StovaI couldn't resist the tempta- tion. He asked Bajoie to hit. The gal lant Frenchman ambled to the plate and hit the second ball thrown. It went for two sacks and Cleveland won.
 Pitcher Speer was on the scene yes terdav. The sidewheeler warmed up a little in the morning and displayed con- siderable pepper on the sidelines in the afternoon.
 There is no apparent reason why no shouldn't pitch with the success or Christv Mathewson. He will probably make his bow tomorrow.
 In noisy coachers, Birmingham IS be- hind every other club in the league In the seventh inning of the first game did you note the boisterous work oi Dobbs and Daley? It helps. Tba Billikens will be encountered asain this afternoon. The fifth game which concludes the series, will be played tomorrow.
 The Billikens have won two or the three games played.

 In the second inning, McGilvray beat out an infield hit, stole second and scored on Molesworth's hit to right
 In the third Marcan singled, was sac rificed and scored on Phelan's hit to right-center.
 In the fourth Mcbride was hit by the ball, took second on an out and scored on the swat of Ellam.
 In the seventh Johnston and Phelan singled in succession and the former scored on a sacrifice fly of Molesworth. The game was played under dark and threatening clouds, and occasionally rain fell. While these features did not detract from the work of the players. 1t divided the crowd almost in half
 But nearly 1000 people witnessed the scrap, and there were enough to cause semi circle around the field.
 But neither the Southern league at- tendance nor Redwood record was ap- preached.

LOOKOUTS TAKE
 FIRST; LOSE SECOND

Chattanooga, July 4-Chattanooga and Memphis broke even today, the locals taking the morning game and Memphis the afternoon. Bunched hits off Allen. daring base running together with three costly errors gave the home team the morning game. Covaleskie saved the game, going in for More and holding the visitors to one run. In the afternoon game Memphis punched hits off Benton, while Dickson was invincible in the pinehes. A local rally in the ninth fell two short. First Baseman Courtney of Memphis had finger split in the morning game and will be out for several weeks.
 FIRST GAME.

Sparks and Maxwell

In the forenoon Frank Sparks gave a fine exhibition of cleverness in the box. He not only held the locals help less when a little bingle might have turned the tide of affairs, but, with dia bolical perspicacity on every occa- sion he outguessed the locals. No near CT perfect box work has been witness ed in Birmingham this season. Kent did exceedingly well himself, and had he not, along with errors of his com rades, punched three of his own in ono little inning, the outcome might have been different.
 In the afternoon Maxwell pitched one of his characteristic games. While the Billikens got a total of nine bingles they were harmless little fellows with out ability to bite or sting. Along with his other good points Maxwell revealed perfect control. Lelivelt, while he did we'll on rare occasions was unable to hold tightly when the plate was in dan ger and though he yielded no bases on balls, he Is credited with having smash ed the ribs of Mcbride and McGilvray.
 The Billikens got off first in the morning. a base on balls to Gribbens, a sacrifice by Sparks, and a smash by Dobbs turned the trick. In their half of the same round, the Barons evened up the count. Ellam walked, and was scored on hits by Kent and Marcan.

Pratt Initiates Cobb

From that point until the seventh, both teams played well. In the seventh the Billikens ran away with the situa- tion and established such a lead that there was not a remote chance of head ing them. Bills opened with single to right Graham attempted a sacrifice, but was safe when Kent threw wildly to first. Gribbens hit to Kent and he again threw wildly to first, permit ting Bills to count. Sparks then ripped off single to center, scoring Graham Molesworth's return to the plate was not accurate though had Kent backed up YantZ, he would have saved the manager an error, and prevented Crib bens from scoring. Sparks was sacri- ficed by Daley and scored by Dobbs sacrifice fly.
 Then Pratt, moving with the dash and speed of Ty Cobb, and in fine imi- tation of that individual, ran from home to home in trice. He opened with single and as Kent held the ball attempted to steal. As he slid to the bag the ball went into center field. He started to third, and having reached that bag, without drawing breath, dashed for home. Molesworth, in the meantime, had relayed the ball to El- lam The latter threw wildly to the plate, and Pratt counted
 It was done rapidly and in capital style. Never before this season had the Barons been so completely put off their balance by bit of footwork. Finer vim and dash and verve and nerve than displayed by Pratt has never been presented in this circuit.
 In the eignln, an incipient rally was nipped when, after Ellam, first up, had sin gled. Kent unintentionally hit the ball and with the shortstop doubled up. Phelan walked opening the ninth and having reached third eventually on in field outs, was scored by McGilvray on a safe rap to right. But Johnston forced McGilvray at second.
