Nv FRED BoDEKER

John Henry Robinson, the star aoutbpaw of the Little Rock Travellers found the squirting BarOns n mighty hard team to hold in check during his one session stay on the noun" at Ricl1vOOd yesterday in the hnai game of the series and the local scored an easy win. 5 to o. Three tallies were scored in the opening stanza and theF were sufficient for the Barons to cop tbe deciding contest with Ralph Cont stock working in superb styIe' -'
 The Baron finger followed his mo- table performance of last Friday-a mo- hit game-by allowing the Travellers only five blows The Wares aggreSa- tion was never in position 10 put a tally across. Omar Hardgrove LOOK up the hurling duties for the Travellers in the second stanza and although ne was hit hard, only two tallies were registered
 The Travellers first safe blow came in the opening round when Ed Man ming doubled after two men were out That is as far as he advanced Com stock pitched brilliant ball until the sixth when Wares singled to center for the second safe wallop for the visiting aggregation. In the seventh Stark and Kennedy singled in success sion after two were out but HardgroVe was easy for the Baron star In the eighth Manning beat out an infield tap for the fifth safety.
 BARONS GOT START
 The Barons good start was not due entirely to Robinson's poor work In she box. He was ineffective, it is true' Sut had he been accorded the proper support the Barons would nave prop ably tallied only once.
 Robinson started things by hitting Doc Johnston on the arm. Eddie Mo Donald bunted down the third base line attempting to bunt, but he beat Mannings throw to first Cecil Coomos bunted down the third base line and the runners advanced bag. The sac rifice was a beauty.
 Danny Clark drove a single to left and Doc tailed Eddie stopped at third. but Walshs throw to the plate took a bad hop and evaded Catcher Kennedy, Eddie tallyfng and Danny racing around to till u.
 ELLIS SCORES DANNY
 Rube Ellis smashed a single to cen- ter and Danny romped across With the third run of the inning. Bill Webb popped out and Ellis was caught off first base to conclude the disastrous round for the Razorbacks.
 The game rocked along with Hardy pitching and the Barons hitting often 11ntil the fifth. Cecil Coombs singled to center as starter, but was forced at second by Clark on grounder to Covington. Ellis popped out to Tex. but Bill Webb was passed Kid Caton drove Texas leaguer back of first. Both Baker and Covington made a hard try for the ball but failed to get within reach, It fell safe and bounced over Baker s head. Danny and Bill scored and Kid stopped at second.
 The Barons had several other fine chances to score, but Hardy always managed to squeeze out unscared, Nine hits were registered off Hardy during his stay of seven sessions on the hill, including a triple and two doubles.
 NEVER REACHED THIRD
 The Travellers never got a man as far as third base. Seven of the vis- itors gained life on the initial sack and only two of these reached the keystone Comstock was accorded ex- ceIlent support, especially by Kid Ca ton on short. who displayed some flashy fielding.
 The feature catch of the day. how ever, was the spearing of a line drive off Coombs' bat in the sixth innins by Wares. The ball was labeled for { double and 1t was purely a case O highway robbery. Howard Baker, il right field. also handled several har' chances we'll.
 The win gave the Barons the SC ries. Some excellent pitching was re corded in the Travellers visit here. Tn performance of Ben Tincup on Mon day in holding the Barons without hit and not allowing a single man t reach first base stands out as note worthy. Carmen Hills win Tuesday i a fine hurling duel over North wa also a feature. while Comstock's goo work yesterday added more laurels t the stay of Bob Aliens men.
 Pitcher Palmero, the Cuban south paw, who has been purchased by tn Travellers, did not report yesterday, ] was expected by Manager Wares.
