 Little Rock, August 1s.-Walter (slim) Clary. who had gotten con behind in his pitching be- cause of illness. set out this after noon to try to catch up. "slim" tried the iron man stunt and missed getting by with 1t by one inning, one terrible inning, the last one of long, hot afternoon. The Birmins- ham Barons scored and had given them six runs in that inning, and were thereby enabled to get an even break on the afternoons results. The Travellers won the first one easily, 9 to ?, and they lost the sec end miserably, to 4.
 Slim" had more than the usual between the games, Tor after the Travellers had knocked over nlnG first. Kid Elberfeld sent Lefty" Vii eon in to finish it. The Barons had gotten only three hits and no runs off CIary. They made couple of runs off the young southpaw In the eighth, but were harmless in the ninth. "Slim" went back at 'em In the second game and some very uloyenly fielding gave the Barons couple of runs in the first inning but the Travellers came back strong fled it in the second and went two runs ahead in the fifth.
 Barons Exploded
 It looked for a minute Hko Silm had put it over, but everything went flooey for him in the sixth. Inree Iucky hits in a row put him in bad and left two Barons on bases. Kid Mlberfeld ordered base on balls for Robertson to fill the bases and then gent Mike Cvengros to the rescue Mike was more or less lucky to get ont with his life and with only six runs scored against him. First thing Mike did was give a base on balls and the next two things he did were two wild pitches. Then four base hits in a row and the ball game was gone.
 First Game
 The first contest was entirely un- der the control of Slim" Clark, who came back from his long vacation In splendid form. The Travellers en- him a lot by hitting the ball hard, and the Barons assisted with a varied assortment of errors and boners that insured him or victory by a large margin.
 Ike Boone started Slim" on his way to victory with a homo run ip the third inning that ranks well up among the longest hits" ever made at Kavanaugh field. Ike drove the ball to deep right center and Freddie Graf scored ahead of him. Graf had gotten on on a fielder's choice following a base on balls to Zoellers. Ike's home run was the first hit made off Morrison. In the fourth hit by Jackson, his steal of second and Brandon's wild throw to second set the stage for another Travelcr run. Ritter squeezed the run in with . tap to Kane.
 Baron TnlIlos
 Lapan's single, his steal of second snd Jackson's hit scored one more for Little Rock in the sixth. The Travellers hit and ran wild in the seventh for five runs. Boone. echleibner and Jackson did the hit ting, Jack" getting a triple to mako it three out of four for the game for him.
 Clarke and Stewart scratched hits eff Wilson in the eighth. Graff threw out Harper and Ritter threw out Noun, Clarke scoring on the second out. Silva singled to left. scoring Stewart. Brandon lined single to center but Jackson threw cut Kane.
 Second Gamc.
 The Travellers got off wrong in the first inning of the second game. Clarke, first up, hit one by Connolly for three bases. Stewart followed with q hit to left which Zoellers let go through him. The ball rolled to the fence. Clarke scored and so did Stewart while Zoellers was taking his time retrieving the ball. As Kid Elberfeld pulled Frankie out of the game and Bob Barrett did the left fielding for the rest of the afternoon.
 The Travellers tied the score in their half of the first as result of timely hit by Dutch" Schleibner. Barrett singled and went to second on Graffs out. Boone beat out highbounder to short for a hit and Barrett went to third. Ike stole second. Connolly popped out but after Bates had pitched three wide ones to Schleibner> he got one over and Dutch" hit 1t to left center, scoring Barrett and Boone.
 Travellers Take Lead.
 The Travellers got two more in the fifth. Ciary led off with a single by second, his second hit of the day. He went to second on Barretts sac- rifice and could have gone to third if he had noticed that that bag was not covered. Graf hit hard one by third which Clarke knocked down. Clarke had plenty of time to reach third but he stopped. turned back toward second and then headed for third again. By that time, Clarke had recovered the ball and had it waiting at third when Slim" arrived. Graff then stole second, went to third on Robertsons throw to cen- terfield and scored when Silva's throw to the plate got away. Boone was nit by a pitched ball and stole second Connolly walked and Schleibner came through with an- c-aer pinch hit, scoring Boone.
 How BarOns Won.
 Then came the blowup. Harper was first up in the sixth and bounced q hit over the box. Neun hit low liner to right for a single. Silva fired a single by third. Barrett re- trieved and shot the ball toward the plate. Schleibner attempted to inter- cept the ball for a play at second or third, but he booted the ball to the grandstand instead. and Harper
