Three Errors Figure
 In PeLicans' Scoring
-WhitehiII TWirIs Good Ball, But Poor Support of Comrades Causes DoWnfaII-MQuiIIan in Form and Holds BaronS in Pinches
By HENRY VANCE


 Moley's Barons knew as much about hitting in the pinch Wednesday afternoon as Mrs. Vanderbilt does about dish water. And while Earl Whitehill spent the afternoon pitch ing his heart out and his arm off in a futile attempt to win, Baron bats popped .'em into the air as the New Orleans inner and outerworks gath cred 'em. As consequence, George McQuillan was victor over Whitehill in a pitchers duel, the Pelicans grab ping off the game, 80.
 Whitey. who turned in a victory on his first start for the Barons by hold Ing the Vols to three hits. really de- served pitching percentage of 1000 this morning, but his mates were about as dangerous as aspirin, and. aside from failing to hit. thrse errors figured In the Birds three scores, the little portwheeler making one of these himself. The Baronial pertsider yielded only six hits for the nine frames, which is good enough to win ball game in any mans league
 McQuillan Blanks 'Em
 But, while whitey was busy cross firing the enemy, George McQulllan got busy with the kalsomime brush in real fashion. True, he allowed as many hits as his youthful proponent, but he kept the seven bingles garner cd off his delivery we'll scattered, and Tl.Av4 Ia frightened up and held the Barons in the palm of his hand. With such a nice exhibition of pinch pitching he managed to stack up nine goose-eggs against the Barons
 Even though the Barons went down to defeat it was a nice game Of base- ball, marred only by the boobies of Krehmyer. Taylor and Whitey. Some sensational bits of fielding were pull cd off and the fans had the satisfac- don of knowing they had seen some midsummer baseball, even though the home boys were humiliated by three-ply coat of whitewash.
 Peis' Last Tally
 The Pelican's first run. which came in the second, was a gift, pure and simple. After Tucker and Knaupp had skied out to first and center re- Hpectively. in this frame. first base man, Henry. crashed one through the pitchers box for a single, as Whitey tucked. Dowie then lifted a dinky Texas leaguers back of short and Stump Clarke rushed in for a try at a shoe string catch, missing 1t by hair. With Henry on third and Dowie on first, the former spurted for second and Robby whipped the ball to Kreh myer in an effort to pull Henry off third. The trick worked as per sched- ule. and Kremyer had plenty of time to kill the runner at the plate, even if he had been chunking from center field. However, his peg was wild and Henry counted, Dowie moving to third while the disgusted MT. Robert son was rounding the wild heave up. McQuilian went out Burkett to Neun for the end of the inning, but the dirty work had been accomplished. The play had been made to order for . putout, but instead the wild peg gave the Birds their first run.
 Knnupp's Three Bagger
 Unmindful of this bit of hard luck wbitey braced himself and for the next three innings blanked the vis- itors. Tn the sixth, however, Cotton Knaupp. the veteran, who has chronic habit of breaking up ball games in Birmingham. jolted Whitey after two were down. His contribu- ton was mighty smash to left field, which Stump Clarke misjudged. Be- fore Stump could retrieve the ball Kanupp had stopped on third, Dobbs then brought the squeeze out or the old cedar chest, dusted off the moth balls and put 1t into use. In these days of the lively ball, where base hits clog up the score, manager seldom attempts tho squeeze, but lawn, realizing 1t was pitchers bat tie. brought 1t into play. Henry dumped the ball in front of the plate, Cotton raced home. and when White hill finally picked the pellet out or the dirt, he threw 1t away In an at tempt to get his man at first, Henry continuing to second on the wild heave Dowie plastered one In the skies and Silva plucked it for put out, and the end of the inning.
 s Pels' Last Tally
 The visitors topped off their after noon's work with another tally in the ninth, and again a pebble helped to put the run across. Knaupp was first up In the ninth and he shot ball at Taylor like a rifle shot. Taylor knocked 1t down and then fumbled 1t in the dirt. Then he shot the ball in the general direction of first for a wild heave, Knaupp continuing to second He moved over to third on Henrys infield hit and scored on Dowie's long sacrifice fly to center.
 Moley tried to inaugurate rally in the Barons final frame. Harry Harper was first up, but Harry was not equal to the occasion, grounding ont pitcher to first. Taylor then lift cd . short fly to center, but Larry Gilbert got his annual error for complete huff and Taylor was safe on first. Robertson singled wi.h powerful smash to right and Taylor went over to third. Moley then sent Johnny Kane in to bat for Krehmyer, but Johnny couldn't pull it. He slam med a grounder at the pitcher and was out at first. Burkett then hit hot one to short, which Smith made neat stop of and tossed Burkett out at first for the end of the game. h
 Final Game Today
 The final game of the series will oe staged at the wood this afternoon. Martin will probably be called upon for hurling duty by Dobbs, and the chances are that Mofey will send Red Bates in for another start. Fol lowing today's battle, the Barons ship for the blood -curdling village of Mo bile to go against Bert Niehoffs wonder team. They don't hit the home soil again until April 27, return Ing for a series against the Bears.
