AL Bonner.
AL Bonner, the Lewiston boy
now pitching with the New Or
leans team, is making a splendid
showing according to reports re-
celved here in New Orleans and
Mobile papers. The New Orleans
team had won five games this
season up to the time the papers
were published and Bonner was
the pitcher in three of these
games. In fact he has won every
game he has pitched and up to
the present time his opponents
have been unable tn find his
speedy delivery.
On April IA he pitched an H.
inning game against Mobile and
aside from sensational work in
the pitchers box was the man who
carried the lone tally across the
home plate, which made his team
the winner of the game by a /
to 0 score. In reviewing the
features of the game the Mobile
paper says:
Bonner, the big hurler for
Franks Pelicans, shut out Mo-
bile at Monroe park yesterday
afternoon in the presence of about
100 spectators in an thinning
contest, which was the hardest
fought battle on the local diamond
this season, and one that was re-
plete with fast and at times bril-
liant fielding. No less than five
times was Mobile in a position
where single hit would have
put over run and won the game,
but the hit was not Forthcoming.
While Bonner's pitching was at
all times brilliant it was no more
so than his fielding, for he accept
ed IL chances, with but a sin
gle error, which eventually prov
ed harmless. 1t is true the luck
of the game broke for the Pei
leans, but that does not in the
least detract from the splendid
work. He covered first and the
plate several times and each time
a runner died. He fielded all
over the infield, as is evidenced
by his eight assists, and generally
covered himself with glory.
1t was in the eleventh inning
that Bonner who had previously
been an easy mark, stepped up to
he plate for another try, his
previous attempts having resulted
n easy outs. This time he uncork-
I'd from his system a beautiful
iouble to left center for two sta
ions. Barr sacrificed him to
bird, but Burleson bobbed the
,unt and Barr was safe at first.
Johnston sent Texas Lacquer
Jack of short, which Walch went

ID across the plate with the first J
un of the game and victory, for
Ioblle went out in succession in
Ter half of that inning"
