PENSACOLA IS
THE WINNER IN
INITIAL GAME
DEFEAT THE eARYVILLE TEAM
OF NEW ORLEANS BY SCORE OF
2 TO AT MAxENT PARK.

Garyville, a team from the Crescent
City, which boasts Of a pitcher Casey
by name, made its appearance at Max
ent Park yesterday and with Casey
on the mound, was beaten by Pen
sacola by a~score of 2 to l.
Casey pitched good hall, in fact, an
alright article, for seven innings, Civ
ing up but two hits during this period,
but he weakened in the closing stages
and the locals batted cut a victory
The team was given another shake
up by Manager Peake. Guitterez, of
last years fame, was behind the bat
while Mike Hauser played the short
field, and a new pitcher Schenher of
Mobile, was on the mound. The club
certainly looks good now and should
give an exceptionally good account of
itself when ii goes against the pro-
fessionals in the early fall.
Garyville had men on base in nearly
every inning but it was not until tse
sixth that they were able to get a
man around. With two dead Casey
singled to right and breezed around to
third on Waguespack's hit to the same
territory. Malaret singled to center
scoring Casey. Chastant tried to take
the ball on the fly and it rolled d
little way back of him and Sanchez
fielding it, returned to Hauser who
nailed Waguespack at the plate when
he tried to score
Garyville had a beautiful opportuni-
ty in the ninth to sew up the game
but the necessary hits were lacking.
Waguespack first UP, beat out an in
field hit to Gordon. Malaret hit 70
Hauser who caught Waguespack at sec
ond, the runner being safe at first.
Landry bounded to Roach who let the
ball play him instead Of playing the
ball, the result being that the sphere
continued on to left, Malaret taking
second and Landry first. Del Corpia
popped out to Roach. L. Landry lift
ed a high fly to the infield which
Griffin, after getting under it with
time to Cpare, dropped. Malaret pull
ed an awful bonehead when he failed
to score on the error, he having stop
ped on third to watch Griffin make
the catch. This filled the bases but
Schneider could not produce, his offer
ing being a fly to center which Chas-
tant gathered in.
Chastant, for Pensacola, got as far
as third in the opening inning on his
base on balls and Hauser's hit, and
Roach reached the same station in
4, the third on the first baseman's err
ror, sacrifice and an out, but Casey
2 hzhtened and easily disposed of the
batters following. Not until the eighth
inning did Pensacola manage to push
across q run.
Schenher opened with a hard drive
directly at Del Corpia and was re-
tired. Roach was safe when the
shortstop bungled his high bounder
and took second bn Gcrdon's hit t.
left. Chastant grounded to second
who fielded the ball directly in the
base line. Gordon stopped short and
the second baseman, in an endeavor to
catch him, waited too lCng and Chas-
tant beat his throw to first, but Cor
don was retired at second, Roach
scoring in the interim. Hauser singled
to right but Haley ended it going out
second to first.
Pensacol broke it up in the ninth
Griffin slammed a single to left and
took second when Landry let it get by
him. Guitterez drew a pass Sanchez
grounded to the pitcher who killed
Griffin at third but Schenher whackeJ
a single to left scoring Gutierrez and
the game was over.
Sanchez's catch Of Schneider's near
Texas Lacquer in the fifth was the
feature.
