PRETTY PITCHERS BATTLE

PRETTY PITCHERS BATTLE
 Up until the storm broke, the game was as prettyS a pitchers battle as one would care to see. Rube Robin son for Little Rock had the Barons on the hip for practically the entire route but, at that, the locals should have won the game in the seventh when Jansen's hit, a sacrifice and an error on Montegut's grounder, put man on third and one on first with only one down. Moley again tried the squeeze but Robinson took Hills bunt and threw Jansen out at the plate. 'Altenberg failed in the pinch and grounded out, ending the chances for a victory, as not another Baron reached first during the remainder of the game. Tn the first frame, Altenberg scratched an infieId hit and took second on Southworth's bunt but Duncan and Bernsen couldn't deliver. Outside of these two Innings the locals didn't reach second base.
 The game was but another exhibition of the Barons' weakness against left handed pitching, a condition that must needs be remedied if Moley expects to pull them out of the mire before the pennant goes where the woodbine tWineth.

 Moran grounded to short and was thrown out by Montegut who made a good stop. Walsh grounded to Jan sen, who had supplanted Mcdonald at third, and was out at first Distell flied out to center.
