WITH BARNES PITCHING GIANTS BEAT YANKEE
But Gate Receipts Are Heading
for the Million Dollar
Mark.

BY SAMUEL j. BROOK MAN.
Get your reservations for the ninth
game.
Nine games will be needed according
to this, our first representation of the
world series. If we guess wrong we will
have plenty OF company.
After six games the teams are just
where they began-even. Stephen. But
the clubs, players ct al. are about $780,
600 ahead
And the pitcher who was not con-
sdered good enough 10 start a game for
the Giants has turned in two of their
three victories.
Barnes was complete master of the
situation after the second inning yes
least once and Aaron Ward twice-a
total Of ten in eight and one-third in
nings.
Poor Toney was the picture of dejec-
tion after being batted out of the box
for the second time in five days. Rather
tough on the pitcher whom Wilbert Rob-
inson had picked to be the star OF the
series.
The fans have a new way of tipping
off the manager that ii is high time to
remove q wavering pitcher. Instead of
the time worn Take I'm out! !" the cry
now is Get the shower ready"
Except for a paltry five runs that he
yielded during his stay in the box, Bob

1T takes me back to my childhood
days to see Franklin Baker UP there at
the plate" said a lady reporter whose
hair long since has been streaked with
gray. That at least Is a sure tip that
the former home run king Is pretty close
to the end Of his string as a major
Lacquer.
Everything is topsy-turvy in this
series. Just think of the home run
epidemic taking hold after Babe Ruth
quits the series.
1t Is a question which has been more
erratic-the weather or the baseball
dope" One day there is q call for ear
muffs, the next you long for a dip in the
surf.
The announcement having been made
for the fourth time in the series that II
was impossible for Ruth to play. the
fans refused to believe 1t until Babe him
self appeared just before game time and
had his picture taken on the field
civilian clothes, arm in sling. grin and
all.
After listening to McGraw's lecture on
Monday afternoon on the folly of look
ing on while the pitcher hurls strikes
over the plate, Emil Meusel took no
further chances yesterday. he swung
at everything that even a poor umpire
might construe as strike, and note the
startling result: Two hits, including
home run that put the Giants In the
running after the Yankees had scored
three times In the first; also two long
soporific drives that forced Fewster to
back up all the way to the fence.
Three home runs in n single inning !.
First Meusei, then Snyder, then Fewstar
Only five assists for the Yankees in
the entire game. and three of them
throws by Schang to turn back an at
tempted steal for base. Quite an un-
usual occurrence in any ball game. And
the Giants had only seven assists all
told. Batters were swinging underneath
hits or striking out. The sphere was
kept travelling high.
AS Rawlings set himself for Miller's
pop fly and the final output Of the game,
several score of bleacherites already
were on the field making rush in the
general direction of the Giant second
baseman. When II comes to speed in
dropping off fifteen foot fence the
bleacherites have the worlds champion
ship at their mercy.
Beginning with Ward in the third in
ming Barnes was responsible for seven
putouts in a row, all Of them on strikes.
He famed Ward and McNally. then
walked Schang. famed Shawkey and
walked Fewster, famed Peck and Miller
