Shot into tatters-and so is Vernuille.
Gan Talk
o you PeIicansi Yes, 30, those
birds are still champs, but they surely
had to go some. They battered and
clamored for five innings yesterday.
vainly trying to convince folks that
they were not nasQuerading as cham
pions, but in the sixth they slipped it
to Mr.. Vernuille and cinced it in the
seventh.
A grand turn out was on hand to
see our giant-killers further mistreat
Charlie Franks performing birds, and
they had a run for their money.
It was -vident from the jump that
one Lee Vernuille. late of the South
ern league. was no mysterious pack
age Of puzzles Dir. tombstone,
cross between a good clown and fair
ball player, greeted the Mobile import
with a screaming double to right, but
Vernuille frightened his belt and
whitfield Manush. Barr grounded to
Graham, who threw high, but Griffin
went up there where the aeroplanes
travel and brought it back. Vernuille
caught tombstone snoozing and the
run which had been knocking at the
door took q sneak for a brief spell.
With one down in the third, Nc
Duff beat out a high bound to Gra-

Graham got Johnstone-

one out to Zehner. Manush sacrificed
him along. Sprinkle jammed wind.
Doane walked after Vernuille had him
two and nothing, and that pestiferous
Nagle damned a double to left,
scoring tombstone and Doane. Nagle
was thrown out by Jeter trying to
score on Angermier's hit.
With their feathers ruffled. the Pels
continued to be a pest in the seventh.
Storch began 1t with a walk. McDuf

fooled Kla-witters fly, Storch being
held on second. Johnstone;s ringing
hit to left scored Storch- Vernuille

grounded to third and Johnstcne and
Manush scored on Reaches low
throw. Doane fouled to Rcache.
Nothing more doing for the champs.
Angermiar singled and stole in the
eighth, but Jones robbed Storch by a
pretty catch far down toward right
field.
Mr.. KIawitter, who has absorbed
some baseball under the tutelage Of
]. McGraw. Chas. Frank and other
astute generals, started the gunnery
for the birds. Roache singled off him
in the first, Griffin In the second and
Jones singled and stole in the third,
but in each instance the bingle came
with two down and the follow-up man
could not produce.
Hyder Barr had one of his fingers
broken while the ball was being pass

caught Guitterez's fly in the second,
