Those crashing Cardinals-the Clout-
ing Circus of the National League
..swelled with orgies at the expense OF the
lively ball and not so lively pitcnins'
ralloped into the Polo Grounds yester-
day with the avowed purpose or mop
ming I'D the Giants. Somebody, II
seems, had informed the visiting flremeh
that John McGraw's singers were as
easy as getting wet in rainstorm'
Well. those crashers-Hornsby ana
stock and tIcHenry and the rest
clouted about the size .Hf monkey
hat. And the Giants, with George
Kelly in the van with his thirteenth
home run, hammered their way 10
sweet victory by to 2.
Throwing all his yicissitudes oehlno
him. Jess Barnes made the st. Louis
sluggers fade like a shower with the
coming of a rainbow. Their gallop soon
became a canter. then they slowed
down to mere meander Barnes
pitched by far the best game he has
shown this season-one of the best
flashed in either major in this unhappy
year of luck lustre flinging. The right
handed thrower of the speed ball held
the Cardinals to only four hits, three of
which were banched for their scores in
the fifth. q
Coming in the wake of the recent
high class performances of Nehf and
Ryan, the splendid development of
Barness potentialities against the hard
est hitting outfit in the league gave all
the greater satisfaction to the Giants
and their adherents. Only thirty-one
men faced Barnes, and just three of
them got as far as second base. Seven
Cardinals were retired by the strikeout
route, Mann taking his medicine twice
and then being chased to the clubhouse
as riled he became rather raggy with
Mr.. Rigler.
Shows Superb Control.
Singles by Hornsby and shotton and
doubles by McHenry and Clemons rep
resented the entire attack Of the Mound
City maulers. Only one Cardinal
Hornsby, got pass and that, in the
seventh, was discounted by Lavan's
hitting into a double play after Nc
Henry had famed. Barnes had all his
pristine speed. all his old cunning and
control all his 1919 suppleneas of arm
and ability to make his fast one finish
with the meanest hop in the league.
Barnes was strength and confidence
and never a doubt about his mastery
even when the Cards were attacking
hardest. For even in the fifth Barnes
famed two visitors, and with better
break would have got by with only
one run being scored off him.
Barnes scared to empyrean heights in
the third frame. IF some one had driven
into the grounds in a one horse shay
or old Darius Green himself had leaped
off the grandstand roof in his flying
machine the popular excitement would
not have been greater than that oc-
casioned by Barness performance of a
feat which had not been seen at the
Harlem park this season. In short,
Barnes famed the side in order.
Four HitIess Innings.
For four innings it was neither. hit nor
run for the Cardinals-one, two, three in
each frame and four strikeouts, with
only two balls driven out Of The fnfield.
Then came Eornsby to open the fifth
with a hit to left McHenry sent a low
liner to centre and Walker failed in an
endeavor to make a shoestring catch.
giving the batter a double which scored
Hornsby. Lavan famed and then
Clemons drove a sure enough double to
left. scoring McHenry. Then Mann
famed and Bill Bailey was easy for
Rawlings. There was nary n hit for the
visitors after that until Shotton got his
single in tne eighth.
While Barnes was keeping the clouters
a. bay the Giants were having a fairly
good time at the expense Of three St
Louis pitchers. Jess Haines, who started
for the Cards, was in great form for
three innings, and held the Giants with
out hit or run. For three frames 1t was
as tight and pretty n pitchers battle as
you would want to see.
Then came the Haines de5acle. Two
passes, two singles and homer together
with an error. put Haines in bad way
and the game on ice for New York. The
big Highlander mad to leave in favor OF
Bailey, a left handler with a past. He
used to hurl for tire Browns Five runs
off Bill and then Riviere. another right
lander. 4 lished The gar1e.

Haines opened the fourth with a pass

Bannie was out stealing. Two gone.
