 Baumgardner's wiIdness and two
 costly errors by his teammates,
 and the Little Rock Travellers were
 forced to accept another defeat
 from Moley's tribe of squirting
 Barons yesterday afternoon at
 Redwood. The Barons secured the
 verdict by 6 to 1 count.
 Karl Black, the lone Baron port. wheeler. did the mound work for the Barons Karlo held the Starrlings to seven hits, but he was invincible when the bases were occupied. The Travel CTS scored their lone tally without the aid of a hit.
 George Baumgardner one of Star1's best moudsmen. was hit freely by the Barons. The Moleys didn't waste any of their safe blows and consequently hit when safe blows had the most ef- feet. In every inning except two, when the Barons had men on bases, they tallied. Hits account for most of the markers. but two errors and lit- tie wildness by the Traveller hurler also figured prominently in the run getting.
