New-York tribune., 1922-08-07


like house of cards. Their game be-
came as criss-crossed and disordered
as a heap of jackstraws. There ap-
peared to be mismanagement somehow
IN the battery department, putting
Jesse Barnes needlessly into a hole,
and clumsy fielding by Smith and Ban
croft fitted in with costly exactness
with the base hits flushed by the Cubs
in that inning.
Their thrashing Of the day before
was avenged, but the final one-sided
ness of the score did not make it any
the less fine scrap to watch. Os
borne, tall stoop- p-shouldered man of
serious mien, with long arms, q whip
lash wrist at the end Of the right one
as the ball was loosed, thereby getting
deceptive speed and a snappy undula-
tion on the ball, often causing batters
to hit way under-a Walter Johnson
wrist and ease Of delivery-pitched
well. exceedingly well, even if he did
go wild for@a while in the tenth and
needed q break to help him through.
Pitchers were addicted to in-and-out
work, all except Virgil Barnes, who did
the coolest, clearest, tidiest stretch of
pitching since cantaloupes came in.
Osborne was good, but was at tension,
whereas Barnes was we'll within him e
self. Hindsight revealed that it was a
mistake to relieve him for pinch hit
ter, though the pinch hitter, Dave Rob-
ertson, came through only to die vi
cariously, since King ran for him, in
hard luck double play.
V. Barnes in Relief Role
The V. Barnes's era was from the
second to the eighth Ryan, beginning
we'll, lost his control in the second in
ming and was taken out after single
by Friberg, a base an balls to Cal
laghan, single by King, Base on
balls to OFarrell and d single by Os
borne--a bolt from the blue, this last
named wallop-had led to two runs.
Osborne, q mere pitcher, gave no notice
that he was going TO slam the ball and
drive in two runs and his inconsiderate
and helpfCl act of doing SO was Sc
we're shock
Still, the Giants got over the shock
in due time. Virgil Barnes gave them
all wool pitching. Not a thread of
shoddy in it. He began on Heathcote
in the second inning and fifteen men in
succession faced him without one
reaching first, Krug made an infeld hit
with two out in the seventh, the only
hit off Barnes, the younger, and only
two balls were batted to the outfeld on
him. His curve was admirably con-
trolled to find the corners.
The hitting of Frisch and Young put
the Giants in the game. Frisch made
an infeld hit in the fourth, took second
on wild pitch and Young's liner to
center sent him home, Frisch made
another inield hit in the eighth, went
TO third when Meusel arched fly to
short right and came home on Young's
fly to Heathcote.
SO much for the runs Of the first nine
innings. Prismatic plays were turning
pilgrims away from the plate the while.
Kelly made a sudden shift Of his hands
to take low throw from F'risch in the
second and complete q double play.
That was bang-up pay of Kelly's
though not fancy. '0'Farrell was
caught in an exciting run up between
third and plate in the eighth and re-
moved, with the fans on tip-toe.
Great Catch by Young in Ninth
Young went to the wal1'in the ninth,
jumped and caught a liner with one
hand, rolling over when he lit. In the
home half of the same inning Gala
CHAN made a catch of nearly equal
brilliance of Stengel. Hollocher
shared q liner from Bancroft for a
double play. Meusel galloped long
distance for fly from Hollocher.
Davy Robertson had singled in the
seventh and King, his runner, was on
than he helded, lined into Hollocher's s
responsive hands. Taking out V
Barnes proved q damaging move, for
although Jesse shut out the Cubs in
two innings he did not pitch as well
as his brother.
Callaghan opened the tenth inning
with a two-bagger to the left field
fence. Barnes flung two high ones
apparently to give Smith a chance te
catch Cal off second Whether by his
advice or Smiths or who somebody
&else's, Barnes found himself in the
ole and passed Krug. OFarrell die
Bhe obvious and bunted Smith dartec
after the ball, which was rolling foul
but which was touched by Smith or
fair ground. When it did roll foul il
didn't count, and the bases were filled
with not sign of Cub being out.
Osborne was the next hitter, and 8!
a double play at the plate was more
than a possibility things might have
been worse. Osborne grounded Il
Bancroft, but Banny's throw dragged
Smith off the plate and Callaghan wa!
safe there. AS Smithy reached for the
plate with his foot he stepped on UmI
Quigley's foot and made the ump hop
Not that there was any similarity il
size between Quigg's foot and tht
plate, but Smithy didn't have time tt
take observations.
Heathcote Drives In Three Runs
There was q probable double play
had Bancroft's throw been true, ant
the whole aspect Of the inning was
changed. Heathcote everlastingly kissel
the agate and lifted a triple to righ
center. Three runs focked in, and, be
ing right at one another's heels, looked
like 800. Hollocher was the first out
He grounded to Kelly. Terry buntet
safely and Grimes's grounder wa!
fumbled by Bancroft.
Terry bunted Heathcote home will
squeeze play, and every time the bal
was hit somebody trickled in. 1t wa:
regular sieve around those parts
.Krug drove in run No. with single
The long lead was anything but vel
vet TO Osborne. His tenth inning wa.
his worst. He walked Bancroft, walked
Groh and hit Frisch. His inhelder:
had TO talk plainly to him to steady
him. Meusel's fly scored Bancroft ant
Grimes stopped liner from Youne
for double play and the wind-up.
