Pitching superb ball, aided somewhat
by the breaks Of the game and the gen
eral shskiness OF Brooklyn play, which.
as on Sunday and Monday savored
strongly OF the bush league variety, Jess
Harness captured his tenth straight vic
terry at the expense of the Dodgers at
Ebbets Field yesterday eoualiins Bob

New York 2. Brooklyn 1 was the score
Barnes set the Dodgers down with
seven scattered hits. issued no passes

lyns lone marker was ushered in on an
error by Heine Zimmerman in the OPEN
ing inning. Jesss tenth straight tri-
umph gave him a seasons record of
nineteen victories out OF twenty-three
games. Since he has been in the majors
Barnes has won ten and lost three
gomes to the Dodgers. The victory was
the fifteenth the Giants have taken from
the Dodgers out of twenty-four games

Barnes was opposed by Southpaw
Clarence Mitchell, who has been the
most effective OF the Brooklyn hurlers
against the Giants this season. Clarence

Dodgers Lose Chance.
Brooklyn's poor base running and the
games breaks showed most strongly in

got a life on a scratch hit to thinner
man. Johnston connected with one or
Barnes's fast ones and his smoking
hit caromed of Chase's init into right

third on the rap, but he became con-

ball and danced nervously around sec

his daze the ball was relayed into the
infield.

score. Fate interviewed. however. Tor
Grifflth's torrid liner plunked straight

could get back to the bag.

Kaun's Fine Catch.
Zach Wheat made a desperate attempt
to tie things up with a home run drive

and Doyle both stole on him, but in
neither instance was Miller so much
