By FRED BoDEKER

A hard downpour interrupted what promised to be one of the best pitch ers' battles of the season yesterday afternoon at Riclkwood Field in the initial game between the Travellers and the Barons. The count stood 1 to 1 in the first half of the eighth ses- sion when the play ceased.
 Bmrleigh Grimes, the star twirler of the Barons, was on the hill for the BarOns and the big speed artist was in fine shape. Larue Kirby, a com- biation outfielder and pitcher, was do- ing the heavy work for the Starrlings and although he was hit freely, with the bases occupied, the Baron batters were made to look like monkeys.
 The Travellers were at Burleigh's mercy with the exception of the fourth inning, when they punched couple of hits for their lone tally. Burleigh was pitching the consistent sort of ball, and the great CT majority of the Travellers were pop ping up or rolling easy grounders to the infield
 Kirby didn't have anything but a good prayer when the. bases were clean, but immediately after the Baron runner gained life, the former Brown would tighten up and the runners were forced to die on the paths. The Barons had numerous chances to score, but the blow in the pinch was always missing. Kirby had a wide breaking curve the best seen here in many day. Five Barons fell victims to his benders, three of this number coming in the second session with pair of runners on base.
 BARONS TAKE LEAD
 The Barons took the lead in the third inning. After two men were down, Ce- cil Coombs swatted one on the nose to deep left which went for a couple of bags. Cecil stole third while Kirby held the ball. and finally threw to the plate. Danny Clark then rapped one at mile a minute clip toward Buggy Wares, who was able to flag it, but allowed Danny to reach first safely Cecil counted on the play.
 That's the complete story of the Bar ons' run making The Travellers tied the count in their half of the fourth. With one down, Walter Barbare singled cleanly to left and took second when Ja- cobson went out, Clark to Derrick. Ernie Walker singled to right and Barbare counted. Meusel made a perfect throw to the plate. but Mike Hauser fumbled the peg, although Barbare might have been safe had Mike held the ball.
 The Travellers had but one other chance to score. In the second inning, with one down, Baby Doll Jacobson leaned up against one of Crimes swift ones for triple. The blow would have
