 New Orleans, September 11-(speciaD The first half of the last big series of the present Southern league season came to an end late thIs afternoon with the pennant winning Pelicnns thank ing their patron saint that they accum- uIated their safe lead of some seven games before they went into it. The Barons copped the dny's henors, led by their eminent goose egg artist. Dick Robertson, they shut the Pels out in the first by a to score and pronting by n little spell of wiIdness by Roy Walker nnd a brief faltering in his sup port, they tied the second.
 That Manager Dobbs and his flock of Pelcans are greatly alarmed would Do stretching the truth a bit, but they are plainly disappointed. They are trying hard to hang up record in winnings games on the season, and it was bit ter dose to them to have the second game go undecided, especially Is there is little chance that this game can ever be played. Both the Pels and Barons are of" Monday, but the Barons jump from here to Little Rock for Tuesday s game and as Monday is ever day to be summed from the box office view point, it Is not likely that either of the managers are so axious to play the game as to choose a Monday for 1t.
 Failure to win the second game was likewise a dismal disappointment to New Orleans fans too, because its win pipu wouid hava crowned a really bril liant pitching effort of Walker Roy gave up but one hit In the nine innings they played, which was extra innings in view of the fact that the two mana gers agreed upon seven-inning games and settled the first one in seven. The one hit was made by the Rev. MT. Per ryman, late of the St. Louis Browns, who is one of the few ministers of the gospel playing baseball. Perryman pitched against Walker. and saved him self from defeat by slamming out a two baser, which scored Coyle after Mickey had been hit by a pitch
 Good Crowd
 The first double header of the pair be- tween the two rivals for the championship was well attended, fans here having looked forward to it for sometime How ever, the recent winning streak of the Pelicans. which resulted in putting tho title on ice, took. some of the edge of the series, and although the fans stil anticipating another hot scrap Sunday they are paying more attention to a cele bration planned in honor of the Pelicans street parade to be held Sunday before tlc Eame. and if is expaetad 10 ( crowL of opening day proportions will see the second double header which VII ring down the curtain here
 Touays crowd wasn't shy of enthus Asm, but little too confident of having elready won the pennant to put extraor dinary pep" in the proceedings.
 There was this difference between h. pitchers in the first game. When Rob ertson felt himself slipping the least bi he was always able to tighten up and pu over the old invincible staff which ha! made him terror to the Pelicans all tn, season. but when Bagby started slidins as early as the third inning there didnt seem much hope for him.
 Bagby Easy for Barons
 Catcher Bob Higgins evidently realized this. for before run was scored in tn, third he stole very significant glance Manager Dobbs. in which was portra ct . world ofsmeaning. It cold Dobbs thsj Bs gby wasn't there" but Dobbs has beei hard put about pitchers, and with an other double header coming Sunday h, preferred to take chance on losing lhi particular game than breaking up hi pitching combination.
 So Bagby staid in until the game wa lost In the last inning Eddie Hovlik. wh, reported to the Pels Friday and succeede,
