New orleans at Montgomery.
 The Barons had little trouble in hand ing a package labelled Defeat" to the Travellers out of Little Rock yesterday. The score was ' to ?. Turner did the twrling for the Barons and Lakaff and Buchanan were on the firing line for the visitors.
 The hitting of the Barons when the bases were occupied was the feature or the game. The individual star was Roy Montgomery, who hit single, double and a triple out of four trials. He was substituted at short when Oyler, on ac- count of a general break down, was com- pelIed to remain in his quarters.
 Lakaff Parachutes.
 Lakaff managed to get through the first inning all right. In fact the first three Barons to face him were moved down like wheat in front of the reaper. He par achuted in the second inning after two had gone down. Here is how it happened. Lister was given a base on balls. Lakaff got a trine biious and before he knew what had happened Montgomery smashed a growing single over the keystone. The pitcher getting badly rattled, showed four bad ones over the pan and Walters went to the initial bag. On every other bag, too. stood q Baron. Turner next up, was served with three bad ones, when Manager Finn angrily jerked Lakaff to
 tin and from the box. Buchanan
 place. and he threw his first ball
 his placed Turner on first and Lis
 ger the pan with the first run of
 game.
 Before Buchanan could get to going asily Molesworth cleverly stung one in the face to right, and Montgomery and Walters trotted home. These runs were sufficient to win the game.
 The Ugly Beginning.
 The game yesterday goes to prove that things, when started badly. have a chance always ot improve. Now, in the first inning, there were q thousand fans at West End who would have sold the Bar ons' chances for good sized chew of "Piperheidsik" Things did look squally. Rockenfeld, first up. was given base on balls. Gilbert and Douglass went out with much struggling, but the slaughter of the third was what caused the pause and the trouble. Before the inning was over Miller singled and Hess tripled to left center. Two runners heetly made the circuit.
 After the first round, however, Turner had everything. In no subsequent inning did he yield more than one hit After the first, the visitors were doomed, never hay ing again caught a glimpse of the light that cheers.
 In the ninth, Turner got trihe care- less, and caused the fans to grumble at the delay. With one down, Miller was safe on Gardners blunder. Page went out Bowcock, however, uncorked single of the juicest variety to right, and this followed by a wild pitch and base on balls, filled the sacks. There was no scoring however, for Bowcok was slaugh- tered as he neared second, to which base a bunt to pitcher by Buchanan had forced him.
 The Barons Hammered.
 After tbe Barons scored their three runs in the second, there was nothing further doing until the fourth In that round Garvin was safe on an error of Second Baseman Page, and after being sacrificed to second, scored on a double by Roy Montgomery. In the fifth, two more were added to the growing bunch. Gardner started off with delicious little swatlet to center. Alcock was safe on flelders choice, Gardner gong ueau dl second Garvin followed with a single over second, and the bases were cleared when Montgomery smashed a full-hedged home run to right center, which, because the ground was exceedingly heavy, was curtaied to a triple.
 In the sixth, caine the Barons last tally. Turner started with single. Molesworth singled to right. Smith made beaut- full attempt at sacrifice but Moles- worth got a poor start and in doing so, robbed the hitter of infed single. Turner scored from third when Gardner hit safe, and on the same play, Smith s,rn.. l,illod al he rnla Ie Alcnck followed
