LITTLE ROCK, July 3l.-(Special) The Barons and the Travellers took turns shutting each other out this afternoon in the double-header which ended the Birmingham clubs rather pleasant visit over here in Arkan- sas. pleasant because they won three of four games played. Otherwise not so pleasant, the Barons had to spend Sunday here with nothing to do. Yes terday rain kept them from piaylng and then there was the little matter today of an altercation between Walter Stewart of Barons and De- Witt "BeVo" Lebourveau of the Travellers, resulting in both men be- ing put out of game by the umpires. The scores were, to ., Llttle ROCK and l to 0, Birmingham.
 The rumpus wasn't anything very serious Nothing like the Battle of Birmingham" fought between the two clubs in the Magic City earlier in the season. Only two men were involved and only couple of blows were struck. The trouble broke out in the second inning of the second game, when Leborveau dropped to the ground on two successive pitched balls by Stewart to keep from being hit in the head.
 ". Stewart And "Bevo" Mix-up~
 "Bevo" rushed out to the box and the first round was purely verbal an exchange of spicy baseball re- parte Stewart seemed eager to have inc last word and when the TraVeler batter started back toward the plate the Birmingham pitcher followed him, to tell "Bevo" something that he must have forgotten. What Stewart sah made "Bevo" sorer than ever and he wheeled and landed left and right swing to the head be-

 Robinson's Farewell.
 The first ball game was large oc- casion in Little Rock, the Neneraple "Rube" Robinson made It ms rare we'll game as a Traveller before so- ing to join the New OrIeans @ ans, teiro@Ts, sir ,bs who bought him to help them win the pennant. If the old boy pitches as well for New Orleans as he did here this afternoon, he will be of a lot or assistance to Larry Gtlberts s pennant chasers. He shut out the Barons, 4 to O, by an exhibition of masterful pitching deminiscence of anly rev years ago, when he was king of all thesouthern pitchers. The Barons got only four hits off the old timer and six of them struck out.
 Wells pitched 8 nice game for The Rarons. except in two innings, when hits were punched on him for runs. Five singles and a sacrifice scored three for Little Rock in the fourth. Lebourveau, Bourg, Young, Robinson and oellers did the hitting. In the seventh doubles by Bandrimer and I.ebourVpau scored another for Little Rock.
 Mnrberry "Right.r
 The Barons encountered another pitcher who was right in the second game, when they batted against Fred Marberry, the big right handler of Kid Elberfeld's pitching staff. Fred struck out nine Barons in seven in nings and he allowed only four hits and still they beat him, l to o.
 Two of the hits were grouped with a base on balls and some slow work by Frankie Ssoellers wor the run that won the game. It came in the fourth Inning. After Moore had famed, Vann linned a single to left. Clarke also famed but Goebel waited and got a base on balls. Neun then hit a short single to left, which Zoellers Aided neatly and cleanly. Trankie had the ball before Vann reached third base, but the Baron catcher ulu not stop, ana LoeilerS ulu not attempt to stop him. Nann scored while Zoellers held the ball, and that run won the ball game.
 Stewart, who pitched only the first inning. was succeeded by Red" Bates, who shut off the Travellers with the active assistance of Bruce Hartford The Baron shortstop played a wonderful game of ball, handling nine chances and going all over his position for hard chances.
 Manager Stewart took himself out of the game in the eighth inning of the first game and played the role of bench manager in the second.
 "Stuffy' Is bothered with a sore knee and got out of the game today to give it a rest. Nothing serious, and he will be back in tho game to- morrow.
 The Barons pull out of here shortly
