 \ lone tally, scored in the first
 inning after one man was out, was
 sufficient for the BarOns to de-
 feat the Little Rock Travellers in
 the second game of the series at
 Redwood yesterday afternoon in
 a stubbOrnly contested battle. The
 trate the Barons' defense, led by
 the steady work of Carmen Hill in
 the box.
 The victory was a costly one for the Barons. Billy Southworth, one of the best outfielders in the league, and one of the mainstays of the Baron club, was forced out of the game for the remain der of the season as the result of sustain ing dislocated collar bone from a fall after he had made one of the most spec tacular catches ever seen at Redwood. The accident occurred in the seventh in ming.
 The catch was a remarkable one, and 1t saved the visitors from scoring and probably from winning the ball game Walsh was on third with one out. Dolly Stark hit a terrific lines over Doc John stoE's head. Bill started for the pellet with the crack of the bat He made a diving shoestring catch, ploughing in the ground with his right shoulder
 INJURY IS SERIOUS
 Bill leaped to his feet and threw the ball to the infield, forcing Walsh, who had almost reached the plate, back to third. He then fell to the ground and physicians were called from the stands lie was assisted to the clubhouse and ex- amining physicians announced that the injury was a serious one. He was later carried to hospital, and was reported last night as resting comfortably after being removed to his home.
 Eddie Mcdonald took third and Bill Webb plugged the gap in right field. Kennedy grounded to Mcdonald for the final out of the inning.
 Aside from the accident to Southy, the pitching battle between Carmen Hill, the bespsckled hurler, and Ed North, re- cent addition to the Travellers staff, held the spotlight. Hill held the Travellers to three hits until the ninth inning when two safe blows were secured off his delivery. The Travellers had several chances to score, but alright pitching, aided by faultless fielding, prevented the plate from being crossed by visitor.
 NORTH PITCHES WELL
 North also pitched fine game and with the exception of the first inning, held the Barons helpless in the pinches. Moleys men frequently gained life on the paths but North always frightened in time to prevent tally.
 Some nifty base running by Bill South worth produced the first and only tally of the afternoon. After Doc Johnston had struck out, Southy drove a single to deep short and beat 1t out with ease. Cecil Coombs doubled to right, and Bill romped across the platter. Clark and Ellis couldn't deliver to push Cecil around
 The Barons had runners on the paths in every inning except the second third and seventh. On several occasions, two men would be on the paths with only one down, but the necessary wallop to bring the runner around never came.
 MANY VISITORS ON BASES
 Only two rounds passed in which the Travellers failed to grace the hassocks- the first and the eighth. In the ninth, feeble rally was started after two men were down, but Tincup, pinch-hitting for Stark, coulun | uelNef Wleil d sth6io would have tied the count. Practically every man on the Little Rock team had an opportunity to bring in a runner but all failed.
 North pitched splendid ball in the pinches but Hills worx surpassed his. The final and deciding game of the se- ries will be played today. Moley will work Ralph Comstock while Manager Wares will probably send Omar Hard grove against the Moleys. Pitcher Pal mero, who was recently secured by the Travellers from Louisville of the American association, has not reported.
