NEW. YORK. June 18. (BUP) One of the major surprises of the 1947 baseball season is Charley (Red) Barrett, the one-man minstrel show from California who is making a joke of the National League today with five straight triumphs to his credit. i The burly Barrett, a blithespirit with as many quips as he has freckles, now sports a 6 and 3 mark for the Boston Braves after blowing his first two starts.

But the happy-go-lucky guy who was in the Cardinal doghouse last season has come on strong for, Manager Billy South-worth, for whom he was the league's leading winner with 23 triumphs in 1945. -v Jitterbug Winner. A hotshot In the minors, Barrett was up four times with--the Cincinnati Red but the carefree cutup was too much for mild Bill McKechnie. Red, who had taken a four-year music course and considered himself quite a vocalist, liked singing from a bandstand- -and did it plenty. came when he won a jitterbug contest in a Chicago night club.

So the harried. McKechnie peddled Barrett to the Braves. One audience was as good as another to the irrepressible Red. So he clowned along for two years at Boston, and in; neither was he a winner. Then the Braves swapped him off to the "and Barrett came under the influence of Southworth.

They are strange pair; Barrett big, -blustery and cocksure; South-worth small, quiet and But BiUy the Kid' apparently 'had the solution because big Red won a leaguetleading 23- games for him against 12 defeats. Then Southwprth- left and Eddie Dyer took' over, and the serious-minded Dyer lost faith in Barrett as Red had. a daffy season- which. Eddie assumed went- with the pitcher's Won Only Three. Barrett won only three games against two losses.

The league leader of the year before ws waajrcu u( nucil MIC ws mjfucu on July 18, and he appeared in only three games during the last two monthsbf the season, never for more 'than an inning or two. Significantly, one 'of Barrett's victories was a one-hitter over, the Phillies. "Barrett wasn't my type of Gallas Play.

Red mixed too much, comedy with his. activities on the field." So Red again joined forces this season with' Southworththe man for whom he had his greatest season back in 1943. Billy didn't mind," because he apparently knew how to keep the Hollywood hotshot under control. During Spring training at Fort Lauderdale, the happy Red again was the Miiter Bones of the Boston road show. He kept his mates In stitches' with his impersonations, sudden songs and other antics.

But he worked, too, and when the club visited Havana it was Barrett who toojc almost complete charge with a sudden burst of responsibility. "He was just like another road secretary', one official said. When the season opened, it appeared that maybe. Red would jnake out better in that job than as a pitcher. He lost two starts.

needed relief to break the and then lost again. But since then he has been poison. Won Five In Row. "Big Red has won five in a row and gone the distance every time. He beat Brooklyn, 5-0, on five hits; St Louis and Dyer by 3-1 on six hits; Chicago, 1-0, with a one-hitter; Pittsburgh, 6-2, with six safeties, and yesterday Cincinnati, 11 to 1, yielding 12 hits.

So who can blame Barrett for singing or Southworth for smiling? It might be clowning In St Louis but it's high drama in Boston with the minstrel man' on the ball. Release Schedule For.
