By HENRY VANCE


 The Travellers raked in the pot on two pairs--a pair of singles and a pair of doubles-and grabbed off the extra inning contest by a count of "A They did so over Joe Dunn's protest. however, the Baronial chief executive announcing that he had protested the game on account Of Umpire Campbelps reversal of deci- sion in the ninth.
 Thus endeth anQther weary day. Once again the Barons are losers of a hard luck battle.
 It was tNe second overtime con- test staged by the Barons in as many days. and the climax came right after Birmingham had grabbed the game out of the fire in the ninth, by overcoming a one-run lead and tying the score. Stoner. the ex-Detroiter, pitching his second game for the Barons. went all 10 pieces s1 the tenth like picture puzzle War moth was the firt man to face him in the last frame and warmy grounded out. zoellers. however, piunked single into the middle gar den and rode to second on Graff's sacrifice. With two down and a man on second. things didn't look so bad, but Pete Lapan mortaIly ruined e bal. with a two-base drive against the scoreboard in right, and Zoel- 1ers raced home. Joe Connolly, who had already rammed out three sln- gles. followed Pete's wallop with a double into left and Pete came home. Schleibner beat out a hit to deep short, and took second when Ach- fingers peg to first went wild, Con- nelly scoring with the third Travel CT tally of the inning and running the count to "A in Little Rocks favor. Jackson flied out to Clarke in left, but the damage had been done and the game had gone be- yond recall.
 Bnrons' Last Gasp
 Rather deplorable ending, com ing upon the heels of the Barons great work in tying the game up in the ninth. In the ninth Stewart was first up, and he looped Texas leaguer double into center. Connolly got the ball and whizzed 1t in the general direction of the infield, the wooley peg going into the dugout and the umps waving Stewart home Immediately thereafter Pete Lapan-- drat him-whispered a few sweet nothings into the ear of Umps Camp bell. and that worthy immediately re- versed his decision, chasing Stewart back to third. It was Joe Dunn's cue to bounce onto the field like a raging bull, but the umps probably figured that reversing his decision twice within the same inning on the same play would be entirely too anna teurish, so he took the that s-my story and I'm going- to- stick to = IL attitude, and Joe Dunn announced that he was playing the game under protest.
 Taylor Sends stuffy Home
 With Stuffy on third and only sacrifice fly needed. it looked like pipe. but Harry Harper foozled, with a weak tap to second base, and Joe Dunn read other sentences from the Sunday school lesson for today from memory. Tommy Taylor, however was equal to the task when he drove Zoellers back against the left fieio walls for fly, and Stewart negou- ated the stretch between third ana home with Little trouble, scoring the tying tally. The count was now 4-t and the stands went wild. They went still wilder when Achinger crashed a single into left, but Silva brougn. the frame to a close with sky pail to left.
 It was an afternoon of thrills. thrills and ills. Some great fielding was seen on each side, and kid Ei- berfeld broke out with brainstorm for the first time this season at Rickyood. The Kid simply couldn't let the season get by without raising a rumpus. He bawled the umps so strenuously that the umps ordered him off the bench and then out Ca the park. The Kid nonchalantly took his time, picking up atoms of rosin and placing them in a little bag. A cop was then called, then other cops. and finally the entire po- lice force of Birmingham was over at the visiting dugout. including the chief, Fred McDuff With SO much law on hand the Kid finally picked up the last grain of rosin and re- treated into the clubhouse.
 Travellers Score First
 Little Rock, facing Stoner for the first time this season, was the first to break the ice with score in the third-two scores to be more expliciy. It was Stoner's wildness, just as it was in the later stages of the game that started the scoring. He walk ed the pitcher to start the third and zoeller's sacrificed him to second. Freddie Graff then got connection for a safety into left and Warmoth came home. I.apan was fly-ball victim in left. but Connolly spanked a single into left and Graf scored.
 BarOns Take Lead
 The Barons wasted no time in get ting these two tallies back and an other besides. All hands batted round in the third. Clarke starting the pro- cession with single to left. Stew art forced him at second, going safe on Q fielder's choice. Harper drop ped a Texas leagurer back of shor, and Taylor hit to short, Jackson'I throw to third to catch Stewart be- ing too late. and the bases were drunk with only one out. Johnn, ar-- IL l. IL.
