NEW ORLEANS
WINS GAME IN
TENTH INNING
SOUTHERN LEAGUERs FIGHT
HARD AND ARE COMPELLED TO
PLAY THEIR BEST TO WIN
FROM PENSACOLA.

Pensacola lost to New Orleans again
yesterday, this time in a ten inning
melee. by a score of three to nit. but
the fans present were certainly given
a run for their money. Considering
the fact that the visiting team Is
from one Of the highest classed minor
leagues in the country, the showing OF
the locals Is nothing short of re-
markable. And the visitors were out
to win too, don't let the idea get
rooted in your bean that they tried
to make the game close, for IL you had
seen them jawing the umpire in the
first inning when couple of decisions
went against them all ideas along this
line would have been quickly dis
PEELED.
Too much praise cannot be showered
upon young Mr.. Harris. He pitched
beautiful game, letting the hard hitting
visitors down with seven measly
bingles. all but one singles, in ten in
nings. In no inning save the last did
they get as many as two hits, and he
gave but two bases on balls The
whole team played good ball and Ora
ham and Angelo atoned for their poor
work in the game Wednesday, the
former making a pretty stop and
throw Of Robes hard drive over sec
ond, the latter getting the only hit
credited to Pensacola, a double In the
ninth.
The visiting pitcher, Mr.. Swindell,
was there with the goods also and
while we are dealing out praise 1t
would not be amiss to throw a little
his way. But thirty-one batsmen
faced him in the ten innings and but
one hit was made off his delivery. He
struck out thirteen men, gave but one
base on balls and hit no one. He is
big fellow, has lots of smoke. and
yesterday, backed by the thirty five
mile breeze, the ball when he let go of
IL looked like the proverbial pea.
Pensacola's first chance to score
came in the fourth. Graham let three
good ones go over without wr1ggling
his bat, but Roache drew a pass and
Folmer sacrificed him along. With
Hauser up Roache stole third cieunly
and with two and one on Hauser at
tempted to purloin the final station
but was touched out by a hair.
In the ninth with one gone Angelo
doubled to left and went to third on
Harris's out. third to first Pensacola
had visions of winning the game as
any little thing would have broken 1:
up, but Graham, usually reliable In a
pinch, was unequal to the occasion.
going out from pitcher to first
New Orleans got a man to third IN
the sixth with two gone, but Spencer
vent out from second to first. Again
in the ninth Robe got to the three
quarter station, but Swinden left him
there when he hit weakly to Grimm.
In the tenth the tension under
which the locals had been playing
seemed to snap. Gordon, usually relia-
BILE, booted Johnson's fast grounder
| and Bunting, true to his name, sac
rificed him along. Hendricks went out
from second to first and Johnson went
| to third. This brought Robe up and
as he had been hitting hard all day
and Spencer who followed him. very
weak, II seemed that the logical thing
to do would have been to pass him
however, Harris thought otherwise
and the second ball he pitched to the
cotton topped one, he drove with ter
| rife force through the box and John
son scored. This seemed to take the
life out of the whole team, as Spencer
next up, singled past Roache and Bur
meister let 1t roll merrily along, Robe
scoring and Spencer taking third
Dawson walked and endeavored &c
steal on the first ball. Hauser made
the throw and Spencer lit out fol
homo, which he made easily as Gordon
had no chance to get him, and Dawson
was finally run down in the line
Burmeister left last night for Rome
Ga, and yesterday is probably the
last time that he will be seen In 9
Pensacola uniform. He will undoubted
ly make good and his many friends
although sorry to see him go give
him their best wishes in his new posi-
ton.
