BARNEY JOY PITCHES
BEST GAME Of SEASON

|
Barney JOY pitched his third straight
winning game for the Seals. Quoting
from the story of the game as pub.
lished in the Chronicle of August 8, il
| says:
The Angels did not play the best OF
| ball in the field, but that cut very littlc
figure, for JOY had them at his mercy
all the time. Barney has been fully
accepted by the fans as their cham
pion on the hill, and they are boosting
him ut every turn.
Below is the record of the previous
game pitched by JOY.
The Examiner OF August 6 has the
following to say regarding joys bi2
game:
OH, JOY,
Those OF us who annex our three
squares per diem by telling what has
happened out ut the ball park have
fought ieligiously against using this
expression. 1t was so obvious that
any man who has any respect for his
craft would hesitate before sending it
to the composing room.
OH, JOY!
That's the only thing possible to say.
Obvious or not, it fits the situation.
For the fellow who wears this name
with prefix of Barney carried off the
honors in yesterday afternoons con-
test. His name coincidentally happens
to voice the feelings of the San Fran
cisco rooters. He is the cheapest
pitcher in the league, Danny Long
having bought him for $125 more than
a song. At the same time, however,
he is the best man, from boxoiiice
standpoint, of any slab artist in the
entire organization.
After week SO disastrous that the
Seals failed to gather the winning end
of even one battle, Long sent in his
loWpriced man and won. For the
at best. But, when they ambled off
with the long end of the score on the
strength of cheap pitchers work, it
was to marvel
Just exactly two safe hits were gar
nered from Barneys delivery during
the nine periods. He not only held
the trans-bay WALLPAPERS down to this
duo Of clouts, but he also succeeded in
striking out nine of them. If Hawaii
could have been there in a body, all
its sun-tanned natives would have
been justified in starting something
Barney was the fellow and the only
fellow, who, during an entire weeks
series, was able to let Van Haltren
know that his outfit could be beaten
at least once in while.
Barney, however, had his troubles
In the very last frame, with the score
three-nothing against the Commuters,
they doomed up as contenders for the
days emoluments. Errors by Streib
end Williams put both Bigbe and
Bliss on the paths. The old Red Dog
OevereauX, who had previously kidded
Barney and suffered strikeOut, re-
deemed himself with single to the
right garden. This advanced the two
young men who start their names with
B. and, if it hadn't been for the fac;
that Gates flew out to Hildebrand !
and Devereaux was caught stealing
second, and that Wright popped up a
fly to ShaughneSsy, the story might |
have been the same as 1t has been all
week.
For a long time it looked as though |
anybody might win. The bleacher
crowd figured that this surely meant |
another downfall for the Seals. Up to
the fifth inning there had been only
one hit made. This was not from the
delivery of JOY, but from the Sam
Lloyd puzzles passed up by Eli Gates
