'BARONS PLAY LIKE BUSH LEAGUERS ANDLOSE ONE MORE Hill Pitches Good Game, But Is Given No Sup
 port and Travellers
 Win 4 to 1

l Little Rock. Ark, June 4.-Kid El-
 berfeld set another left handed pitcher on the Barons here this afternoon and | they yielded to his off side flingIng | by score of to 1. Moleys men
 played some ragged ball behind Car men HILL and put him at such a dis advantage that he did not have a
 chance to win, although he pitched a
 nice game of baseball.
 Garments own fielding was not in the class with his pitching, a wild throw by him allowing the Travellers
 to score their first run.
 The Baron infield was decidedly off form and failed to maintain the speed set in the first game of the series here
 yesterday. Once Clark. Burnsen and Hill all went after ground ball and
 left first base uncovered Another time
 smith begged to second to catch
 runner stealing and nobody was there
 to take the throw and the runner ad- vanced to third.
 On the other hand the Travellers put
 up another pretty game behind big Tim
 Murchison and pulled the Traveller chunk out of several bad holes in
 which Baron hits had placed him. The one run the Barons made was not earned and never did the Barons show
 punch with men on bases Birmingham fans should not accuse us Of Knocking their ball club, but the facts force the statement that the Barons played poor baseball behind good pitching and lost
 rvt
 The Birmingham run was the first one over and was coined in the second in ming, the only round in which the Tray eier defensive was weak Clark opened the innings with a single to right feld put snoozed on first base and was picked orr, Brottem to Grimm. Smith then drew walk and advanced on Jansen's out. Murchison to Grimm. Mcdonald shot a low line drive to right, which dropped safe in front of Hyatt Ham booted the ball and Smith scored all the way from second base. Hill drove a hit by Walsh
 but Altenberg famed for the third out. The Rarons had only, one good chance to score after that, in the sixth. after Altenberg had lifted to Distel, Bernsen singled to left Southworth drove a hit l through the box, Duncan fouled out to H. ing the bases Smith drove a liner to right center, but Hyatt made a great
 running catch of the ball and retired the side.
 l The Travellers scored two in the sec ond inning on freak plays. Grimm sim l gled, with two strikes on Coombs, Fiber
 field ordered the hit and run. Smith sus-
 pected the play and called for a pitch
 out but Coombs threw his bat at the | ball and knocked it fair between the
 pitchers box and first base, out of reach of Hill and Clark Coombs was safe at 1 first but Grimm was caught between | second and third and should have been
 an easy out, but Hill threw high over l McDonalds head and Grimm scored
 Cecil advanced on Brottem's out and
 scored on squeeze play with Murchison at the bat Murchison rolled the ball to
 the right of the box and was safe when nobody covered first base.
 1 Singles by Walsh and Grimm and I Coombs. and a sacrifice fly, gave Lit | tie Rock another in the third. The Trav- | elers made their last run in the eighth 1 on a single by Grimm, Jansens error on 1 Coombs grounder and Brottems single
 to center.
 1 Senor Emilio Palmero, another south paw, probably will work against Ralph | ComStOck tomorrow.
