"Beaumont Trims New Orleans In First Game of the Series by the Score of 5 to 0. - By William Ross. - Beaumont Texas, August 2, 1919. - The Beaumont Black Oilders defeated the New Orleans Red Sox here July 19th by the score of 5 to 0. Ross, who pitched Monday's game in Houston against the Buffs and was defeated by a score of 1 to 0. Starte for the locals and pitched one round after which he gave way for Lofton owing to a sore pitching arm which he received in Houston. Lofton who relieved Ross was in fine form. It was his first time out, he has been playing left field for the locals and had plenty of speed. He held the hard hitting Red Sox to 6 well scattered hits and once with bases drunk and none out, he struck out two batters and the third was retired on an easy roller. The features of the game were the hitting of A. Williams, who in four three clean drives, one double and two singles and Brockett, the locals left fielder also did some nifty fielding. Robertson was on the hill for the visitors and he gave good account of himself for a while he had a drop ball that the locals had trouble trying to land it safe and looked like another one of those long pitcher's battles. Dudlum, the Red Sox catcher is a wonderful hitter and gave good account of himself by slamming two clean hits two long flies to center. Ben Guinea once famous catcher is playing with the Red Sox."
