BARNEY Joy PITCHES
BEST GAME Of SEASON

On Wednesday afternoon. August T.
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 s, it
says:
The Angels did not play the best OF
ball in the field, but that cut very ittlo
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 has the
following to say regarding joys big
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 religiously against using this
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 a 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 SIPS more than
a song. AT the same time, however,
he is the best man, from boxoftice
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
low-priced man and won. For the
Seals to win was matter of surprise,
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 clolts, but he also succeeded III
striking out nine of them Ii 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 a 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 Bigbie and
Bliss on the paths. The old Red Dog
Barney and suffered strikeout, re-
deemed himself with a 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 fact
that Gates flew out to Hildebrand
and Devereaux was caught stealing
second, and that Wright popped up
fly to Shaughnessy, the story might
have been the same as 1t has been all
week.
For long time it looked as though
anybody might win. The bleacherI
crowd figured that this surely meant
another downfall for the Seals. Up toI
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
The sixth passed with a row of horse
collars, but when the fatal seventh APP
peared over the horizon, there was a
little something doing
Odd to relate, the adventure was OH
the San Francisco end of the score
Charley Irwin, the old war morse, was
unable TO get out of the way of a
pitched ball The ball hit him fairly
in the shoulder, but he needed the
combined sympathetic assistance OIL
Bull Perrine and the entire team be-
fore he could even be on his way. Fol-
lowing him, Williams laid down a
hunt 1t was intended to be a. sacri !
fee, but Gates threw poorly to second
and Irwin passed On to third Tay
Streib had the chance of his life to be !
. hero, but he struck put. Then Big
Chief Esola took Tays place with the
big stick and did what Tay had failed
to do. He walloped out a two-cushion
drive to the left field fence, which
scored both Irwin and Williams.
Barney JOY was next up.
