Those Pelicans are queer birds Despite the fact that they olouted LII Stoner for row of egg shells when hits mean runs, they kicked because they couldn't hit 'em hard c, and farther.
 The Crescent City pastimers beited out a 5 to 0 victory over Joe Dunn's outfit at Redwood yesterday. and cepped the series, three games to q two, and that after the Barons had made such a good start Wednesday by copping double header.
 There wasn't much about the game to appeal to fans, at least to that faction of railbirds that likes to see the home team win. But the environment was superb. and the fuming fans stuck 1t out to the bmit.
 Excitement, Anyway
 The Pelicans insisted fhat LII Stoner was putting something on the ball besides elbow grease. and con tinually called for an examination Of the pellet. They kicked so strenu- ously that Umps Dolan almost be-  quiet those picayunish Pelicans, but Umpire Dolan threw several balls out of the game. What puzzles fans is this: if Stoner was putting illegal cunning on the ball, what would have happened to him if he had stuck to ordinary means of fooling pat ter?
 The Barons weren't to be outdone' end raised a rucus couple Of times x1awa tc a A minded sort of individual, at any rate, for he generously threw sew cral Pelican pellets from the game |. also, to the disgust of Pitcher Bailey ano delight of the fans ---~ The Story of Bat
 Flip Neun started a commotion In the seventh inning over a mighty looking bludgeon Pelican Wetzel was using. Flip and the umpire care fully balanced and tested the willow, and Dolan decided to let Wetzel con tinue using the stick. The Pelican sun gardner responded with mighty ! clout to left for three bags that led to much indignation in Baronial cir cles. and ultimate expulsion from the game of tho shHahiai in question.
 Dunn's men outhit the Pelicans throughout. piling up 10 base hits for no runs. The Pels made eight hits and five runs. four of which were earned.
 Pelican Prizes
 Here's how the Pels did 1t:
 First Inning--Gilbert popped to Achinger. hnaupp walked. advanced on Henry's infield out, and rode home on Fuckers clout to left Wetzel lined out.
 Fourth Irning-Achinger bobbled on Ewald's bounder. Smith sacri- feed. Dowie belted two-bagger to left and Ewald scored. Bailey and Gilbert grounded out.
 Seventh Inning-Dowie popped and Bailey struck out. Gilbert singled. stole second and scored on Knaupp's drive to left. Henry popped out.
 Eighth Inning-Tucker drove out to Harper. wetzel poled a triple to left and scored on Ewald's sacrifice fly to right. Smith flied to Silva.
 Ninth Inning-Dowie walked and was sacrificed to second by Bailey. Gilbert was given an infield hit on close decision at first and Dowie advanced. Knaupp sacrificed to grounded out to Stoner. Couldn't Connect
 Pop-upia swept the entire Ba- roniai camp yesterday afternoon and ] scoring chances and failures were too numerous to record. How com pletely bumfuzEled were the Barons yesterday is proven by the fact that only six put-outs were registered by Pelican First Baseman Henry. The others were pop-ups or force outs Seven put-outs were drives to the outfield.
 In three innings the Barons had two men on base and reached third Once a pop-up ended the rally, once Baron whiffed and a force -out pre- ; vented scoring in the other.
 The work of Achinger at short- stop for the Barons was nice. This chap played neat game around the short field. Fielding honors for the day went to Chick Knaupp, who registered five put-outs and two as- sists. The poultry monickered pas- timer managed to gobble up num- erous pop-ups that looked good for Texas leaguers.
 CiOuters
 Larry Gilbet and Bud Dowie led Pelican clouters. while Stuffy Stew art. Tommy Taylor, and LII stoner found Bailey's offerings good for two bingles each. Neun slapped two bagger to left in the eighth,
