Dick Robertson made his first ap- pearance on the hill at Redwood yes terday in the fracas with the Travel CTS since his defeat al the hands of the Pelicans. The spitballer showed wonderful array of benders and every thing else to deceive the batter, but wildness was the cause of his down. fall His inability to locate the plate forced him to serve the batter straight ball and consequently it was rapped on the nose whenever effored.
 pickie didn't show any traces of wildness until the Robert c. Newton drum and bugle corps made their ap- pcarance at the park and began to bang On their musical instruments. The corps, made up of 14 men, was composed equally of drums and bugles and the music didn't appeal to Robby. They preyed on Bobby for the entire game by their annoyance, but the Baron finger grew accus- toned to the monotonous sound, but cnly after the Travellers had secured d safe lead.
 It would pay Charlie Starr and Bob Allen to carry this brigade around with the Travellers. This bunch of musicians could rattle any pitcher, and Robby's ascension can be excused. The group, situated in the "bull pen" was the center of attraction. and the majority of the fans kept their eyes centered on them rather than the game.
 The Travellers didn't outplay the Barons but they took advantage of the inability of Bobby to locate the plate, and by chipping in with neat Jingle every few innings or so added enough tallies to be pronounced the winner. Omar Hardgrove, former Baron. was on the mound for the Travellers, and 1t must be admitted that it looked familiar to see the old ,sleuth on the hill serving them over. Hardy had everything with him yes- terday that he had when he was a rneInter of the Baron flinging corps. His luck was perfect, while his bend CTS were even more perfect, judging from the manner the Barons hit at them.
 Charlie Starr was determined to win that ball game yesterday, and con- sequently after Bill Lindsay had opened the final session with a ter rife drive to center and .Gibby'' Gibson had sent out the distress call, Bob Couchman was called to the res cue. Veteran Bob didn't have thing but little nerve, for he served the pill straight across the platter. Caton drove one down the third base line, but Manning speared it in time to throw Bill out at second, and "Red' Smith smashed one to center that Rumler got after a hard run. Eddie McDonald's drive was Tagged by the veteran himself and the game was over.
 Emil Meuse continues to play a great game for the Barons. Although Emil made rather serious misplay out in the midgarden in yesterdays game that cost the Barons a run. he made up for it in his fielding of other dlives and at the bat. In the eighth he made two shoestring catches off the bats of Starr and Covington that even fooled his teammates while his two hits figured in the Barons scoring He also crossed the platter twice and stole bag. This is Meusels first er- rur
