MASTERLY PITCHING
BY VIRGIL BARNES
Newcomer Twirls in Major
League Style--Frisch at
His Best Again.
by DANIEL.

SAN ANTONIO, Texas, March a.
Standing out in the victory of the Giants
over the Indianapolis club by to 8 this
afternoon were evidences OF the COM
plete recovery OF Frank Frisch, who
had been out with a spike wound, and
further testimony that Virgil Barnes
has been graduated into place on John
McGraw's pitching staff.
F'risch disported himself with his
usual friskiness around the keystone and
TO show that his layoff had not slowed
him UP flashed one of the prettiest
steals you ever saw in the fifth inning,
after he had walked. Ernie Kruger.
late of the Dodgers. shot perfect peg
to Schreiber. but the Fordham flash
went down like streak and made one
the sack. He came UP with a goodly
portion of the park clinging to his uni
form and his hands and face, but ne
came up smiling.
While Zeke. younger brother of Jess
of the Barnes family Of Circleville
Kan, was in the box, the event lacked
competitive qualities. In five innings
Zeke allowed only four hits, two Of them
somewhat tainted. The Indians got no.

one pass and faced just nineteen men.
Barnes had something on the Indians
when he was with Milwaukee last sea
son and he breezed along with smile
against them to-day.
With the advent of Larry Benton In
the box for the Giants In the sixth the
Indians began to get in a few licks ana
Immediately put over their three runs.
A pass to Baird, single by Rehg, a
triple by Covington and hit by Schrei-
ber after Purcell had famed accounted
for all the tallies the Indians gathered
this day.
Benton Finds Himself.
Benton made a splendid recovery In
the seventh inring. and pitched three
hitless and runless rounds. in which ne
looked even better than had Barnes.
After the sixth Benton faced only ten
men. one getting pass. He showed
those Indians a pretty curve ball.
While Frisch was back with bells
on, Ralph SINNERS had to take the day
off to nurse a slight attack of the grip.
His physician tonight declared that the
center fielder would be available for
service tomorrow. Dave Bancroft again
complained Of strain and limped a.
bit. but that did not interfere with his
batting, for he cracked out three hits
in four times up. He was relieved IN
the seventh. Rawlings going in at short.
Cunningham coming in to cover second
and Boone entering the shindig IN
center field.
Bartlett, Seib and Cavet divided the
pitching for Jack HENDRICKS club, and
they demonstrated that aside from the
fact that they were facing opposition
too high class for them they were not
quite ready. Cavet. a left handler VINO
has been up in the majors. went the last
two rounds and was the only fiinger
who kept the New Yorks away from the
last sttaion.
Bartlett was no sweet pear In his
three innings. He was more like a
blooming lime, for the Giants pounded
him for seven hits and six runs. Five
OF these hits and an equal number OF
counters came in the third. which saw
Bannie. Groh, Meusel, Kelly and Snyder
spank out singles, with a pass to Young
and an error helping. Meusefs hit
drove in two runs.
Snyder and CASTOR were the sensa-
tional sluggers of the day. Snyder
lifted the ball over the left field fence
in the fourth, Off Seib, while CASTOR.

triple to right center. with one on, In
the sixth, off that same Seib. The score !:
