 Little Rock at New Orleans.
 Memphis. Tenn, May 1.-(Special.) The Chickasaws won and a little child led them. It was Hugh Critz. the juvenile third baseman of the tribe.
 It was in the ninth inning and things looked dismal for the cham pions. They needed one run to tie and two runs to win. Guy Tutweil- CT was out on a grounder, Burkett to Neun. Polly McLarry ripped a liner to right center for one base. Howard Camp hooked sissling bounder down the first base line and Neun held it to a single by a great stop. That put Mcclarry on second base. Cliff Yockey was dis posed of, Burkett to Neun, and things looked more dismal for the tribe. McLarry was on the third and Camp was on second.
 Then came the little child that led the Chicks to victory. Hugh Critz crouched at the plate and dug his clamps in the earth. Red Bates, a long and lean pitcher, let fly one about shoulder high. Critz sent 1t scooting through the diamond and past Stuffy Stewart, who made eheroic effort to get it. but in vain. McLarry scored and Camp trailed him. That's how the chicks beat the Barons today. After nine tur- bulent and tempestuous innings and a characteristic ball game between the Chicks and the Barons.
 Paradoxically speaking. the Chicks won and the Chicks lost. They lost the services indefinitely of Oscar Tuero, pitcher who in des- perate effort to help himself pitch no hit game was taken out in the seventh inning after an Injury at tempting to field bunt down the first base line Up to Tuero's mis- fortune, he had turned the Barons back without the semblance of hit Silva. the first Baron up In the seventh, sent one down the line straight to first base. McLarry was playing considerable distance off the bag and signaled for Tuero to make the play. Tuero skidded just as he attempted to scoop the ball few feet from the plate. He arose and was barely able to walk. The game was delayed a few minutes while l,uero hobbled about. He pitched Taylor then singled, putting Silva to Harper. who flied out to Burke on third. Tuero hobbled to the dug out. Chief Abbott announced after that game that Tuero had pulled a libament in his left leg. Fly Fowlkes took up the pitching job and retired the Barons without scoring. Clark flied out to center but Burke held Taylor on third. Neun walked, but was forced by Burkett.
