Veteran Omar Hardgrove has se- cured the revenge that he has been in search of since last season when he pitched the Little Rock Travellers to a to victory over the BarOns yes- terday afternoon at RickwoOd Field. The veteran Omar twirIed consist- ent game and although the Barons hit him rather freely he was never in se- rious trouble except in the fourth and eighth inning.
 Diminutive Dick Robertson was sent to the mound by MoIey and although he held the Starr outfit to six scat tered hits, his vvildness caused his de- feat. 1t was Dickie's first appearance on the mound in several days. He showed wonderful assortment of benders but lack of control in the early sessions cost the Barons the game. Each team was presented with run by error.
 Hardgrove set the Barons down with little trouble in every inning except the fourth, eighth and ninth. In the ninth after Bill Lindsay had opened the session with screaming single to center, Starr called Bob Couchman, another veteran from behind the stands where he had been warming up almost continually since the beginning of the game. Couch man set the next three Barons down through the aid of remarkable fielding, and the Travellers copped the fray.
 The Travellers jumped into the lead right at the start. Wares went out, but Manning worked Dickie for a free pass. Ernie Walker doubled to left, putting Manning or third. Jacobson hit in front of the plate, and Manning scored. A wild pitch allowed Walker to score. In the fourth the Travellers added another duo Wares struck out. Manning sin gled to left Walker and Jacobson walked, filling the sacks. Rumler sin gled to left and Manning and Wal ker counted.
 The Travellers put another across in the fifth Walker was hit by a pitched ball, was sacrificed to second and counted on Gibson,s single to center The final Traveller counter came in the eighth in
  smashing single to escape him, the visitor completing the circuit berore the pail could be returned.
 The Barons' first counter came in the fourth With one down, Meusel singled to center and swiped second. Charlie Starr threw the ball to the bleachers on Eoomhs' grounder and Meusel scored, NUh Cecil taking second. The other three Baron runs came in the eighth in niug Dickie Robertson slammed one down the left field foul line that rolled into the bleachers and went for a home run. Eddie Mcdonald singled to left and was forced at second by Derrick. Meusel sipg,ed to left and both runners ad- vanced a bag on Walkers error. Cecil Counlbs cracked one to center and both counted Cecil went out trying to take second.
