|DINKY HOME RUN BEATS STEWART, BUT PEBBLES
 DECISIVELY COP SECOND
Ball Hops Fence And Goes For Homer To Score Three Runs And Win First For Pebbles, 4-2-Second Is Slaughter

Rock-tS hard bit to crack, and Tuesday the Baron is nursing two badly bruised and aching molars as a result of their attempts to c,Csh little hard b,iled stone from Ark ansas.
 Monday saw the double humilia the Travellers. The scores for the double header were to 2 and II to 1, inclusive of fight returns.
 After that free-for-all battle in the fourth inning, there was little fight left in th1 systems of the .Barons, and from that moment on, the Ira, elers started clouting enl with their willows, instead of their fists. The terrible totals tell the tale of the afternoon.

 A l..tle old bingle, that wabbled and bounced behind third base, cost Stewart three runs and the victory. It doesn't matte. that the hit in question-little more than an infield tap off the bat of Catcher Vann- bounded lazly along, :truck some thing-perhaps another one of those dread pebble sand bounced a little fence behind third base, it doesn't matter that the two men were on base, who probably never would have scored; all that does matter is this, Nann was credited with home IA. run with two on base, scoring three to ?. All that happened in the fifth inning. after that free-for-all had Jeff the Barons a pepless, fightless Aggregation of pastimers.
 Slaughter of Innocents.
 The second game was nothing at all like the first. Where Brake and Stewart had stage5 gruelling pitchers battle, Little Rocks hurler, Mccall. just lorded it over three Baron twirlers in the second fracas that would have made the Czar feel ike a piker. Those Travellers pound- d the offerings of those three Baron noundsmen to all corners of the pt. and sometimes they even ex- eeded those limitations. They ammeu out 1o safe hits and earn
 an even dozen or their hits. It
 Is splendid afternoon for little
 bles that wouldn't be cracked. but

 bruiser for those attempting to
 d the rocks to pieces.
 Mondays twin bill was the out eome of a ten-inning tie game at Redwood Saturday and before the Afternoon was over. the railbirds were th.iking how much nicer 1t would have been if the Travellers had only tied the score in the nirth Sat nrday. but also won the game.
