Both Barons and Travellers ran around the bases until it looked like they would have to sew hems in their tongues to avoid stepping on 'em but the Travellers ran the longest. hit the hardest and scored the great est number of runs, and as a result or the weekend victory the series was closed out on 50-50 split, and the RazorbacKs ana homelings were exactly even on games won and lost Tor the summer season.
 Homers PredOminate
 Aside from the fact that if was one Of the most promiscuous slug ging matches of the season. there was little to feature, other than the fact that four home-runs were poIed out, and Johnny Gooch and Pug AL Ten drove out two of the longest hits ever seen at Redwood field John's was only three-bagger, bur It hit the fence in center field on the fly and came within about a foot or clearing the walls Pugs' hit the top of the fence about the middle Of the local score-board and bounced over for homer Dutch Bernsen was the other Baron to pole out n limit clout, and Dutch actually rounded the sacks on a drive that remained within the confines of the park. Harry Harper nicked New ton for four bagger in the first inning, and Bill Brown found whitey for one of like dimensions in the turbulent third.
 -- Outside of bad pitching, the Barons exhibited some mediocre base-run- ming, and acted like paralytics when the real punch would have brought them from behind. To show how they checked up short at the crucial stages of the game, 1t might be mem tioned that exactly 13 Barons were left stranded on the bases during the hours and 17 minutes of al- legged baseballing.
 The Usual Lead
 From the moment Doc Newton draped his 1anky form around the pitchers box 1t was seen that he had nothing, other than circumstantiaI evidence, on the ball. The Kids sty of Razorbacks hopped on Doc for a. three-run lead in the initial frame. He allowed Eddie Mcdonald to hit safely to right as a starter, and the venerable Eddie immediately grabbed off lead and stole second. Scrappy Moore panhandled Newt for & base on balls, and Harry Harper, who led the league in hitting last year, waded into one for a wood shot 1 straight down the fairway in cen- ter.
