Not Kind to Barry.--The Decatur
Review of yesterday, speaking of Bar
rvs advent in faster company SAYS:
Ed Barry will be led into the game
at Chicago today for the American
league champions like a bashful bride
groom going to the altar-eager to en-
ter into the joys of his new condition
IN life but scared into an all-goneness
that is pitiful to witness. In his ex-
tremity he wired Wilson Boring last
night to please come up and meet him
in the big city today. He seemed to
want a sight of one familiar face in
the mob to stiffen his quaking knees
Barry's friends who know his lack of
nerve were laughing last night I'll
bet, remarked one of them. that he
faints before he has thrown 10 balls
and when he faces that Chicago crowd
his knees will quake until it makes the
grand stand tremble Barry prayed
Manager Mcfarland al Davenport yes
terday to let him stay out the season
with Decatur, said he didn't care
snap for the difference in money il
meant TO him if he could only postpone
the awful ordeal a few weeks. But if
Barry was willing TO toregO the couple
of hundred in added salary the Decatur
management was not agreeable TO

if the pitcher would be sent on at once
and Barry was told to brace up and
