TAKEN FROM BOX
IN TWO GAMES
Barney Joy Had Bad Luck.
in Pitching Against
Portland.

The files which arrived from the
Coast yesterday on the America Maru
do not bring the best of news in rela-
tion to Barney Joy, the local pitcher
playing with San Francisco. Twice,
within four days, he has received a
bad humping from Portland and has
been taken out of the box in favor of
a steadier man. The San Francisco
Can sums the situation up as follows
in a comment by one of the best base
ball critics on the Coast:
The spectators seem to resent pitch
er being taken out of a game when he
lis getting his bumps. They jeered
Mohler throughout the afternoon for
having relieved Joy. AS an added mark
of their displeasure at the action Of
the field captain of the Seals they
cheered the giant Hawaiian as he left
the field with heavy step and heart on
his way to the clubhouse. Joy seems
to be an in and outer. Some days he
pitches big league ball, and then he
falls down and his work is of the
crudest. He seemed to have lost his
head completely yesterday and could
not bring himself under control.
In regard to the two games men
toned the following story is told
SAN FRANCISCO, July 14.-Barney
Joy looked not on the flowing bowl, and
what's more, he went to bed at
o'clock of a night-but all for nought.
Steeled to the task of beating the Port
land bunch for as many as three days,

innings and a fraction that he was per-
mitted to remain. Not only did the
Beavers manage to pile up a goodly
number of hits, but they took advan-
tage of Barney's wildness and his in
clination to toss the ball wild. Errors
entered into the first four runs that
were made by Mercedes men, and
likewise into the brace they got off
Willis in the eighth inning. San Fran
cisco totaled up two, all told, and that
was the way the score looked, to 2,
when the end came.
1t was an affair that was lacking in
the pugilistic entertainments that have
graced other games of the week, but
there were enough misplays to fill
book. Longs hope-to-be champs didn't
play up to the role, and although the
northerners broke into the tumble col
umn, their work in that direction was
far from being as disastrous.
The Seals started off like a winner,
but they couldn't keep up the pace. In
the first inning. after the Beavers had
been retired without a run, Shaugh-
messy singled and went to third on
single by MohIer; a single, by the way,
the Kid tried to make good for two
bases, in which he was fooled, Wheeler
to sacrifice, and the result
was just as good, for Shaughnessy beat
the ball to the plate.
