 Little Rock, Ark. May 2s.--(spe- cial.)-The Barons' carefully-nursed winning streak, that had grown to Il straight, went flooey here this afternoon when Molesworth's ath- letes dropped a 1o-inning battle to the Travellers, ? to i. You might say they dropped and wiid-heaved this particular ball game to the Travellers. Harry Harper did the dropping and "stuffy" Stewart the wild tossing.
 The Barons apparently had won their twelfth straight game when Joe Connolly went up in the ninth and hit into what looked like a cinch double play. But it didn't turn out that way. Stewart took Bur kett's throw to get one man. but he threw low to first, the ball bounded and snapped at Neun's throat. Con- nolly was safe and Herb Hunter crossed the plate with the tieing run.
 In the tenth Mike Eberhardt lost a sensational pitching duel with Wally Warmoth, the former Nash vile southpaw, who pitched his first game for Little Rock today. With one out. Jackson singled through the box. Lapan raised fly just Inside the right field line that looked like an out. But after getting under the ball, Bill Harper muffed it. and 1t rolled under the negro IbleacherR. Jackson went to third and Lapan to second. With the Barons' infield in, Warmoth crowned splendidIy pitched game by lining c single over Stewards head which drove Jackson In with the winning run.
 Eberhardt in Good Form
 On both sides of the argument to> days game was one of the best pitched hero this season. Eberhardt was In wonderful form, and so was Warmoth But for Stewards mis- play In the ninth, the decision would have gone to the Birmingham right handler In nine innings. Warmoth allowed only four hits, but one or them was home run by Stewart In the fifth inning. Until "Stuffy' un- did the effect of that home run in the ninth inning, 1t looked like that one long lick had won the ball game.
 Warmoth gave four bases lon balls r3 ters with his sharp breaking curves. The Barons had scoring chances in the third and fourth but the big southpaw was strong in the pinches and also was given fine support, es- pecially by Barrett, who played at third, After Stewards homer had given the Barons the edge in the fifth Warmoth pitched even better ball than before. Not until tho eighth did another Baron get on ,. when an error put Stewart to first famed and Wano made a sensation -al catch on Clarke's fly to right center.

 N Silva singled with two on. but was caught stealing. Burkett opened the tenth with a single to left. Bran don hit to Warmoth, who threw Bur- kett out at second but when Jack son threw wild to first the Baby Catcher" went to second Eberhardt also hit to Warmoth and Brandon was run down between second and ~third. Stewart was passed inten- etionally and Warmoth made the strategy good by flaming Noun for the third time during the game. ~ The Barons will be without the sservices of Catcher Robertson again a@tomorrow as a result of notice from President Martin that. the Baron catcher had been suspended for three days on complaint of Umpire Pfenninger. who alleged that Robert T.son Intentionally let a pitch go by ~him expecting the ball to hit the sympire.
 <. Manager Molesworth was consfd- erably peeved by the league prest- sdent's sanction. declaring that 1t was most unjust suspension. He said Robertson missed the ball be- cause he had called for a curve ball, lnstead the pitcher had thrown a straight one. "Tooter" Brandon Caught a good game today and will nhave to catch both games of tomor- rows doubleheader. Molesworth said today that he interpreted the sus- siafa to mean that Raherts snr, 5s.ili
