BARONS WILL PLAY PELS AGAIN TODAY Saturdays Tie Game Will
 Be Played Off-Black Will Pitch

New Orleans. September n.-(Specialo The Barons and Pelicans play again Mon- day. Taking advantage of the off date to play off the tie game of Saturday. Decision to play the game was not reached until this afternoon after the Pelicans had cinched both games with the Barons. Had the Pelicans not been SO successful the game would not be played off as the rule usually governing such cases would not compel the playing of tie game after the schedule Is ended, and the Now Orleans schedule was completed with today's double header.
 Thus was Dobbs the dictator, and 1t is very plain from the attitude he took that he didn't count the pennant won until after todays second game. Saturday night he said: My pitchers are all used up from double headers, and the team is tired from a very trying schedule. I don't want to take any unnecessary risks. but of course if we win two games Sun day we will be safe, and may be we will play the game off Monday"
 Black will probably be Moley's choice on the mound.

Where no tears are ever shed.
