SAN ANTONIO. Tex. March 19,-There
was striking contrast in the pitching
which the Giants offered against the
White Sox this afternoon, and a strik-
Ing effectiveness with the claymore by
Chicago batsmen in the last five innings.
For example, let's take an inning at
random-say the seventh. In that
bllthesome session the Sox got 100
familiar with Jess Barnes and soaked
him for no fewer than six runs. They
soaked him right out of the scenario.
and ultimately the score was IL to
in favor of the unheralded and unsung
immaculate Stockings.
For four innings, that game was
thing OF rarest beauty for March--a
battle in which Arthur Nehf. the Giants
sapient southpaw, had all the better
of Red Faber, leading pitcher In the
American League in 1921. Nehf had
his great hop on that fast one. He had
control. change of pace--the old head
everything he showed against the Yam
KEGS in that memorable last game last
OCTOBER.
AS a result Nehf held the Sox score
less, with only two singles, one of
which was dinky teaser behind third
base. Only fourteen men faced the left
handler and three OF them famed. No
body walked. Nehf was superb-conf-
dent and playful.
While Nehf was making the Sox do
as he wanted them to the Giants were
playing great ball behind him and get
ting to Faber for three runs on six
hits. They punched three hits on Red
in the first for run and three more
in the third for brace Of tallies.
Rober tson Good, Barnes Bad.
Then, in the fifth, came q lamentable
change. Nehf gave way TO Jess Barnes
and Faber was succeeded by Charley
Robertson. The change was not so
damaging for the Sox, as Robertson,
who pitched fine ball against the Giants
last Wednesday, again held them pretty
well yielding four hits for three runs.
But in so far as Barnes was concerned,
he just went blooey.

Texas he was not so good. In the eighth
and ninth the New Yorks asked Larry
Bonton-late OF the Virginia League-to
do his best. and his best meant two
more runs for the Sox.
Barnes started out with nothing and
wound up with less. 1t was painfully
evident as soon as he had gone a short
way that this was not 10 be his day.
