 Little Rock, September 2.-(Spe- cial. )-The Barons won another ball game here this afternoon, accepted another as a little gift from Frankie Zoellers, and advanced their winning streak to seven. the last four being taken here in two days. The Barons also lost here today--they lost Mel win (Doc) Silva, right fielder, for several days and perhaps for the rest of the season. For awhile they were afraid they had lost him for life.
 The near tragedy came in the fiftl. 7 inning of the first game. when Silva collided with Jackson, Traveller shortstop. while stealing second base. Harper threw to the right of the bas, Jackson crossed over for the ball and as he did he and Silva crashed.
 Doc passed out entirely Wednes- day, superficial examination on the field suggested that his neck might have been broken. He was loaded in a car and taken to hospital, where the first fears were found ground less. Silva regained consciousness en route to the hospital. Physicians say there are no broken bones and do not fear serious consequences. A small red spot on the end of his chin was the only mark that was found on his body. which leads to the belief that Jackson's knee struck him and knocked him out exactly as a boxer is put out with punch to the chin.
 The accident cast an awful gloom over the Barons. but when the good news came back from the hospital that Silva was not seriously hurt, they went back to their game with their accustomed dash and pep.
 The first game was setup for the Barons, who won so easily that they must have been ashamed to take it. They hammered two of Kid El- berfeld's pitchers for 1S runs and "a hits in five innings. Then the Kid ran Slim Clary at them again and the slim one held them hitless the last four innings.
 It took a driving finish, a bone- head play and an error by Zoellers vo give the Barons a chance to win the second game. One chance was all they asked for~-its was ssaA they needed, five runs in the last two innings giving them the win.
 Wheeler pitched splendid ball IT the first game and the Travellers had practically no chance to do any thing al fter the first inning, in which they ran around their lone one. lr the second game, Eberhard did no' look so good and errors complicated matters so much that the Travellers got a four-run lead before the Bar ons began to score.
 Tommy Taylor featured the first game for the Barons with two trip. les and double in four times up Tommy had his hitting togs on ant certainly wore them well. Silva hi three singles before going down fol the count Pug Aliens double in tht second game was the lick that pu the Barons in line for finish vic. tory, and Krehmey CT s 1T Texas leaguel z single knocked in the winning run.-
