FROM LOCALS
IN GOOD GAME
PkNsAcoLAs ERRED AT CRITICAL
MOMENTS, BUT OTHERWISE
PLAYED GOOD BALL-vIsIToRs
ON THEIR GOOD BEHAVIOR.

The second and last game of the
series with the New Orleans club of
the Southern League was staged at
Maxent park yesterday, the Pelicans
winning by four to two score. While
the visitors were at bat in the first
inning the sky began to leak, it raining
in torrents for about thirty minutes.
when, after bailing the diamond off,
hostilities were resumed and the game
played out.
The locals batting order was con-
siderably shaken up. Kelly replaced
Haley in left field while Poole was
sent to center and Burmeister to right,
Chastant playing second base. Big
Stewart was the pitching selection and
was hit freely, but was always tight in
the pinches, errors by the infield figur-
ing prominently in every run, with one
exception scored against him. He was
taken out in the seventh inning, Bur
meister replacing him, and as darkness
was coming on his speed stood him in
good stead, but one nit being made
from his delivery It was so dark
when Pensacola was at bat in the last
of the ninth that it was impossible for
the spectators to follow the ball when
the pitcher delivered 1t to the bat.
New Orleans was the first to hang
up a marker. Robe opened the en-
gagement with a pop which Roach
gathered in for the first out. Stanley
grounded hard to Griffin, who booted
and Stanley was sare./ Clancy rolled
to Hauser and he, too, booted, both
runners being safe. spencer drove to
Poole for out No. and with Bunting
at bat. rain began to fall heavily. He
popped a Texas Lacquer to center,
scoring Stanley but Clancy was pluck
ed at the plate on a nice throw from
Poole.
The belIigerents ceased hostilities
until Jupiter Pluvius had finished
operations. the diamond then being a
sea of mud. Kelly opened Pensacola
half by walking and Roach was hit by
q pitched ball. Chas,ant singled to
left, filing the bases. Hauser hit to
Knaupp. who threw to the plate, Kelly
being called safe on a close decision,
the sacks remaining sui1. Burmeister
and Poole breezed and Griffin lined to
Wagner for the third out, the Dutch
man making nice catch.
Haight hit safely in the second and
Robe bingled in the third. but New Or
leans did not look dangerous after the
first session until the fourth, when,
with one out. Mills singled and knapp
doubled, Mills being held at third.
Haight balIooned to Burmeister and
Mills was nailed at the plate trying to
score on the catch.
Chastant's hit in the third and
Poole's drive in the rourth went to
seed, but Pensacola broke the tie in
the fifth. Stewart flied to left to start.
Kelly doubled to the same garden and
went to third when Robe muffed
Knaupp's low throw of Roach's ground
er. Chastant hit to knapp, who tried
for Kelly at the plate. but the umpire
called him safe, and Roach, who had
gone to second on the play, tried for
third, being killed at that station on
Haight's pretty throw. Hauser whitfield
for the third out.
Pensacola scared in the sixth and
New Orleans put the game on ice.
Clancy, first UP, singled to center.
Spencer's out to Griffin unassisted, ad-
vancing him to second, from whence
he scored when Bunting singled to
left. Hauser let Haley's return get
past him, Bunting taking second.
Mills hit hard to Stewart. who tried
for Bunting at third but failed. Mills
stole While knapp was making large
holes in the atmosphere and scored
with Bunting when Hauser. after
making a nice stop of Haight's
grounder over second, heaved badly to
Griffin. Griffin made a useless throw
to Guitterez to catch Mills but the
pill got away from Guitterez and
Haight continued on to second base.
Wagner was hit on the arm by a
pitched ball. but Stewart famed Robe
for the third out. Burmeister was
substituted after this inning and but
one man reached second base during
the remainder of the game.
Pensacola's efforts for the balance
of the contest are too sad to narrate,
not a runner reaching second after the
fifth round. the game ending with the
score standing to 2.
The disagreeable features of Thurs
day were conspicuous by their absence,
only one or two gentle outbreaks oc-
curing and the visiting team as a
whole seemed to be thoroughly
ashamed of their conduct CT the previ-
Gus afternoon. The score:
