Bernsen's second home run was one of the hardest drives seen at Rickw ood in many a day. The ball was never more than thirty or forty feet above the ground. but it cleared the fence easily and continued to rise after do- ing so. It was terrific line drive that would almost have cleared the left field wall had 1t been going in that direction.
 The game yesterday was a beautiful pitchers battle, that swayed from side to side in an alarming fashion. The Travellers took one-run lead. but the Barons tied it up in their half. The Barons then went into the lead. but the Travellers soon tied it up. Then, with the score 2 and 2 in the beginning of the eighth, Dutch came long with a home run and sent Birmingham in the lead, to 3. In the ninth. however, the Travellers tied it up again, and the score remained knotted until Bersen severed it with his mighty smash in the eleventh.
 Jonnard, rather mediocre per former with the Vols, but rejuvenated under Traveller standards, pitched a mighty good game, and held his own with Whitey Glazner. occupying the Dit for the Barons. Both twirlers al- lowed eight hits, but the Barons earned two runs, while Little Rock was earning only one. The others were results of errors.
 Bert Griffith played stellar
 role fin center field. On several
 casions he prevented what looked
 like sure hits by making difficult
 catches. He ran way back in cen-
 ter field and pulled down long
 drive from the bat of Bing Miller, shome run king of the Southern
 League. In addition to saving the
 day in the field, Bert sInmr med out
 three-bagGed that resulted in
 run. It was in the fifth. Griffith
 tripled 10 center and scored when
 Hairston flied out to Miller. BrOt-
 tenn dropping Milier's peg to the
 pIate to catch Griffith coming in
 after the catch had been made.
 This was the Barons' first run.
 In their part of the fifth the Tray elers had put across their first run. Nvano tripled to center after Gooch had missed chance to put him out on foul fly. Glazner uncorked wild pitch and Wano scored.
 In the sixth the Barons again went into the lead. Stewart was out, bunt- ing on his last strike. Stevenson doubled to right and scored when Bernsen doubled to center after Barn. hart had flied out to Miller.
 The Travellers tied the score in the seventh, when Harper doubled to left was sacrificed to third by Brottem and scored on Wanos single to right.
 In the eighth, with Barnhart on base and two out. Bernsen drove over the right field fence for home run.
 In the ninth, the Travellers again tied the score. Miller was safe on Stewards s error Harper tripled to right Miller scoring After Brottem had struck out, Wano sacrificed Harper home with a fly to right
 The game was won in the eleventh as described in advance.
