This rookie pilot took a tall- end club that had been question ably rebuilt by the addition of cast-offs and untested freshmen, and he guided the nondescript outfit through one of the hottest Barney Calls No-Hit Game In Advance By NORMAN MILLER United Press Sports Writer NEW YORK, Sept. 10 (U.R) Rex Barney of Brooklyn entered base ball's hall of fame today with a no-hit-no-run game that he called in advance. Before last night's game with the New York Giants, in which he held them hitless and defeated them, 2 to 0, Barney told his wife Beverly: "Honey, I'll pitch a no-hitter before the season's over. I just feel it. I've missed a no-hitter once before this year but I'll make it yet. Watch and see!" Barney kept his word last night, thrilling 36,324 fans who watched the 23-year-old Dodger right - bander from Omaha, master the Giants from start to finish for his 13th victory of the campaign. The blond-haired Barney, who hurled a one-hitter against the Philadelphia Phillies on Aug. 18. became the second pitcher to author a no-hitter this season Bob Lemon of the Indians turned the trick against ' the Detroit Tigers on June 30. Barney faced only 29 batters last night, two Giant hitters being safe on errors and two others getting get-ting on base via walks. Only four balls he pitched were hit solidly and center-fielder Carl Furillo caught them all. ' The handsome Dodger hurler was particularly effective ef-fective in the ninth when he struck out pinch-hitter Joe La Fata, forced Jack Lohrke to pop weakly to first baseman base-man Gil Hodges and then, with the pressure on, got Whltey Lockman on a twisting twist-ing foul to catcher Bruce Edwards. Rain, which bad been falling7 intermittently during the contest, beat down steadily as the last out was tegistered. p "I knew I had a no-hitter all along,7 Barney laughed happily in the clubhouse after the contest. con-test. 'I have a svstem where I couldn't help knowing" it. As each 1 1 : , . , -I inner iruiiies up a bcvuuu viiii-, remember what he did the first time ud. That' how I know." Barney, posing in front of his wire locker for photographers, revealed that he had thrown "mostly fast balls" during the contest and "maybe five or six curves."

They have patterns for any car and their expert workmanship has resulted In a reputation unchallenged un-challenged In the auto repair Industry. The smart aet are seeing Ahlander's pennant races in National league history to the challenger's rung, which it occupies today. Pittsburgh's 6-to-l victory over the Reds yesterday left the Corsairs Cor-sairs only three games behind the leading Braves, and one-half game abead of the third-place Dodgers. If Meyer can boost his Pirates Pi-rates to the pennant, he will be the first manager In modem mod-em major-league history to achieve the top with a club that finished last or tied for lastthe year before. No pilot has .turned the trick since 1900. Under Manager Billy "Herman last season the Pirates wound up In a last-place deadlock with the Phillies. During that campaign, cam-paign, chunky, gray-haired Meyer Mey-er was managing Kansas City of the American association. Because of the Corsairs' dismal showing in '47, and because of their uncertain "new look" after the off-season "rebuilding," most baseball writers figured the club would be lucky to climb to fifth place in '48. But the writers hadn't reckon ed on Meyer's genius in handling pucners and His ability to in spire a club to play "over its head." The pirates have played ood ball all season; and since Aug. 1 they've been going at a .676 pace, winning 25 while losing 12. That's a remarkable accomplishment for a club that doesn't boast a single 600 hitter and whose startine pitchers include such "elder statesmen as Elmer Riddle.
