BALL In FLATBUSH
Give jess Barnes Fine Sup
port and Win Over the
Dodgers by 6 to 1.
ny DANIEL.

ny DANIEL.
There was Q sharp flavor OF fall in
the Flatbush ambient at Ebbets Field
yesterday afternoon. Cold breezes
with the tang OF the ocean swept In
under low hanging. dark clouds and
now and then moaned softly In the
rafters. Tho Giants. not so fresh from
taking altogether too many beatings.
were having II out with the somewhat
weary Dodgers. while some 5000 were
absorbed In a truly stirring pitchers
duel between Jess Barnes OF the New
Yorks and Sherry Smith. the Brook
lyn left handler. II ~as the fifth In
ning-neither side had scored.
Say. George. IL must be getting on
toward the end OF the season. i've got
that world series feel In my bones" said
Pancho Snyder as he stood near Kelly
waiting for his turn at bat. "Yes, I've
got that $4,000 feel in my bones too"
replied Long George. And so II went
down the iine--the startling news that
IL was close to world series tIme--from
Kelly TO Barnes 10 Bancroft to Frisch.
who got homer and double, and the
boys bestirred themselves pronto They
got two runs In that nfth three moro In
the sixth. another In the seventh on that
home run into the left center circus
bleachers by tho Fordham Flash, and
trounced the Dodgers by to L.
A change OF climate and scene some
times works Wonderland II certainly
did the Giants no harm. They operated
with dash and verve in the ield They
hit opportunely. they worked with new
ginger and enthusiasm. They made the
most OF their chances. getting a run for
every one Of the six hits they regis
tered. Two OF their hits were doubles.
one triple. one homer-solid socking.
And. best OF all. they got some first place
pitching. Barnes. who IL at lhs best
when the winds whistle and men bethink
themselves OF their overcoats--and al
ways has been particularly effective
against Brooklyn--also got Whit OF
that world series and started to get him
self into shape for a repetition OF his
deeds of derring do of last October.
Bancroft Is Spectacular.
Barnes gave eight hits. but never was
he in danger. Only in the seventh and
eighth did he allow two blows to come
together, and It was a combination OF
a single by Schmandt, force out by
High and double by Miller which
landed the natives their lone run In the
stretching session. Those two hits In
the eighth might have made trouble but
for a great play by Bancroft on Myers
for the third out. The New York short
stop had great day in the field. His
backhand stop on Olson in the sixth was
a classic. but the effort went for a hit.
as Bancroft was left in no position to
make a strong throw to first.
The Dodgers played with considerable
pepper and snap themselves. Johnston
changed places with Olson and moved
over to short. where he put up a great
game Ivan for once was not Ivan the
Terrible. He gave rattlin9 exhibition
around the keystone and got himself
three hits. But the Flatbush Fusileers
were up against pitching which was just
a little too much for them.
Sherry Smiths appearance on the
mound was something OF q surprise. as
he had not started n game for long
while However. Smith always has
found work against the Giants. for your
Uncle Robbie likes to attempt to left
hand the New Yorks TO death. He did
II In 1921. but has not had much success
In that effort this season. Smith pitched
for four Misunderstanding
hitless and runless hall In which he
faced only thirteen Giants. the extra
batsman being accounted for by pass
TO Bancroft in the fourth.
Mycrs's Nun starts IT.
But In the nth inning came the big
break in the game-a costly muff by
Myers, which swung the tide in the
Giants favor and unsteadied the Dodger
southpaw. 1t was kelly who was the
cause OF that break, and 1t was Kelly
who in the next inning delivered a. re-
sounding triple which put the game be-
yond the reach Of the Dodgers.
To start the NTH Lee King walked.
Kelly then dashed the ball out toward
the nagpole in centre field II was a
terrific wallop. and the Trajectory was
a cross between liner and a ny.
Myers raced like the devil and some
how came up with the ball, but after
getting II into his clutches dropped II.
King stopped mt eecond. How those
ocean breezes and some 5000 citizens
moaned
Cunningham forced King at third but
Snyder singled to right. scoring Kelly
and putting Cunningham on third.
Barnes forced Snyder. Cunningham
scooting home. Bancrofts single was
wasted when Groh grounded out.
a spectacular steal Of third by Frisch
after doubling against the right field
wall to start the sixth inning was an
other development which made Smith
wabble. High tried to block Frisch, but
Frankie slid right under and brought
Andy down with him In a Wild mess.
Meusel fouled 10 Schmandt- King
grounded to Olson, who tried TO get
Frisch at the plate and failed by three
strides. Keiiy's triple to right center
scored King and Cunninshams double
OF the right field wall scored Kelly.
The Giants are now a game behind
the Cardinals. This afternoon the New
Yorks tackle the Dodgers in a double
header. and II looks like Nehf and Ryan
against Ruether and Vance. The score
