BARNEY PITCHES
VERY FAST BALL
Oakland Gets But Nine Hits
in Two Games Off Big
Hawaiian.

Barney Joy is keeping up his good
work in San Francisco and from the
files from the Coast it seems that he
is by far the most popular pitcher on
the team. In the week for which pa
pers have arrived, he has lost one
game and won one, the former being
by a score of 30, and Joy only allowed
four base hits, though he walked six
men. The following accounts of the
two games are given:
Carnes of Oakland hearkened back
to his Los Angeles record yesterday.
There wasn't chance for the Seals
to do him any harm and when the af-
ternoon's work at Freeman's Park was
closed, the score favored the Commu-
tiers, to 0. For that matter, Barney
Joy was far from passing out super
fiuous hits, but he was wondorous wild
and free passes had everything to do
with the two tallies that can be charg-
ed against him.
1t was an Oakland crowd that was
roofing all the way, and the result
was just what they wanted. For four
innings, Carnes didn't allow a single
hit and for the five that followed, he
was chary of bestowing his favors,
holding the Longites down to a couple
for the game. Indeed, mighty few of
his balls were batted out of the dia-
mond and the one chance that San
Francisco had of scoring, was nipped
in the bud by a double play.
Ill
in the initial inning. With Jimmy
Smith down, Van Haitren waited for
four balls and walked. He stole sec
ond, and although Heitmuller flew to
Spencer, Eagan hit to right. A better
throw would have caught Van at the
plate, but Shaughnessy was shy a few
when it came to tossing the leather to
the catcher.
The second and final tally of the day
was far more disgraceful. 1t came in
the fifth inning, when the kanaka had
two safely slowed away and thought
he was up against something easy.
Then Brick" Devereaux hit to center
field for three bases. 1t ratified Bar
ney so that he walked Carnes, Smith
and Van Haltren in. rapid succession
and forced in a score.
Danny Long, who was enjoying the,
game from behind the wire netting,
called on Eddie Quick to warm up.
but Joy steadied down and was left
alone for the balance of the game.
An error by Smith in falling to
catch a ball that was batted into his
territory by Shaughnessy almost gave
the Seals a run. The long-legged out
felders made first and stole second.
He went to third on Wheeler's drive to
left, but Hildebrand hit into double
and there was no more chance re-
maining.-Ch July 81.
The hired men that Danny Long has
on his pay roll must nave been asham-
ed of the way they played Thursday
afternoon, Sor yesterday the Seals put
up an article of baseball that was well
worth seeing and when they closed the
game with a fast double play were on
the long end of 81 score. The Ha-
waiian beauty, F. Barney Joy, did slab
duty for the Seals, and he twirled as
good a game as has been seen here
abouts for some time, and he also
figured strongly in the hit column. get

livery of William Reidy. who was on
the hill for the men from over the
bay.
San Francisco hit the ball early and
often, but the fielding of the oakland
ers was of big league caliber and the
Seals did just manage to squeeze out
in front Shaughnessy was switched
back to his old station in right and the
worked well for the team.
Oakland's only tally came in the sec
ond inning. Bigbee was passed and
Haley slammed one out over Spencer's
head that brought him safe 70 third.
Bill Devereaux tried to work the
squeeze play, but big Barney was wise
and as usual the play was made 10
look very foolish. That was the best
they could do in the run line there
after for hits were scarce and the ka-
naka was pitching great ball.
San Francisco found place on the
score board in the fourth inning, maxi
ing the runs one apiece. Charley Irwin
ripped one down the left foul line that
