By Staff Correspondent)

LITTLE ROCK. Ark. July 3o.- Special. )-Eddie Herr, venerable scout of the Detroit Tigers-God- father of the Barons of Stuffy Stew art was in town to see how his little brothers were coming along today but the day proved a frost for Eddie, or rathes a washout. It started rain ing shortly after noon today, and the double-header scheduled to be played with the Little Rock Travellers was called off.
 After spending the afternoon at Kavanaugh field, hoping against hope that it would stop raining long enough for at least one of the two games to be played, Barons and Trav- elers dispersed and the day was spent in the same manner as Sun day, in idleness.
 Tuesday, Barons and Travellers wind up their series. playing another double header at Kavanaugh field. In the first twin bill played on this series, the Barons trounced the Trav- elers twice, which so incensed the bald-headed "Tobasco Kid that he is reported to have exclaimed In wrath, I'll sell the whole darned outfit. see if I don't, the wooden legged old men" And the Kid seems to be making good on his threat. Kid Selling Out.
 Saturday, immediately after the finish of the disastrous twin olIl, from a Traveller standpoint, sale or Sammy Mayer to Louisville was an nounced. and now Little Rock ian dom is wondering what Louisville in- tends doing with the goose. who has made none too good record with the Travellers
 Monday morning, Xii Elberfeld electrified curbstone circles here with the announcement that Ruoe hoplh son, for seven years Traveller ana one of the few good ones at that had been sold to the New Orleans Pelicans Rube is still considered a good hurler, and Pebble City ra1iblrds are predicting that the Rube Will go good with the Pelicans.
 And now, to show that his wrath and disguest is unabated. the shiny hated frey one has announced the sale of Tommy McMillan, veteran little shortstop. to the Nashville Vols. All three of the Travellers report 10 their new berths this week, 1t was stated here.
 A Man Of His Word.
 All of which shows that XII Fiber field is a man of his word, and that the sister teams of the Travellers are very kind hearted In taking his excess baggage off his hands.
 If that first twin victory of the Barons caused such devastation in the ranks of the Travellers, perhaps, if the Barons extend themselves quite bit. and cop that double header tomorrow the muchly- mauled. ever-ready Kid can be pre- vailed to chuck his Little Rock fran chlse into the Ark. river to be sal vaged by some one of less bellicose temperament. If such were the case, it is highly probable that all Dixie would have it's eyes on Little Rock tomorrow, and it's prayers on the Barons to win that twin bill.
 Wells To Pitch.
 Manager Stuffy Stewart announced this afternoon that Ed Wells, new southpaw secured from Detroit, who has won two and lost one, will hurl the opener, with Walter Stewart working in the second game tomor- row. Rube Robinson will probably render his swan song in the first game against the Barons, with Mar berry really good young hurler, working in the second.
 After that twin bill here Tuesday. the Barons take their luggage and a 
 to Memphis, to open against the Chicks Wednesday.
 That Memphis Baron series is be- ing looked forward to by the Barons as the first crucial one of the sea son. Manager Stewart and mates are prmed to battle the Chicks to finish, for on the outcome of that series will probably depend whether the Barons ride home in state in few days as first division pennant contenders.
 A talk with Billy West a day or so ago developed that the Baronial club Is more than pleased with Its recent series of trades after that trip to Atlanta. Morrison and Brady for instance. West pointed out that Nor rison has won one and lost two for Atlanta, while Brady has won two, tied one and lost one for Birming ham. Danny Clark Is hitting around .26O for Atlanta, and Pete Brausen, new Baron is clouting the pill
