How to pitch a no-liitter: simply
call on that old gal-Ladv Luck
By Diamond Dust Evinger.
What is that takes to pitrvide
for a no-hit, no-run ball game to
fall into the lap of a major league
pitcher ?
That question can be answered
by just one word. There's a cer
tain little old gal by the name of
Lady Luck which enables most
hurlera to enter the Hail of Fame.
Luck and lots of it is the man
ingredient in stirring up such a
marvelous concoction. Ask any
pitcher who has gained no-hit
fame and he will tell you that if
it were not for Lady Luck he
would still be among the thou
sands who never approach the
Glorious Goal.
Carleton hurls one.
Take Tex Carleton for instance.
Given up for lost causes and a
dead arm. the Brooklyn Dodgers
rwalled the near 38 year old
pitcher for the 1940 season.
All Tex has done thus far has
been to p'.tch a no-hitter and also
a three-hitter. Carleton 's master
'piece was thrown against the Cin
cinnati Reds, 1,940 National league
pennant winners, to make the ac
complishment even more remark
able. Many hitters have hurled two
hitters and three-hitters, but it
usually has been a false turn of
fate that prevented a perfect
ga me.
Freaks of nature harm.
Often a strong wind has blown
a ball out of an outfielder's reach
or a pebhle in the infield has
caused a grounder to take a bad
hop and go for a scratch single
and boom, there goes that no-hitter.
Looking over the records and
noticing the names of those pitch
ers who have hurled perfect
games, one does not find highly
impressive and regarded names.
Johnny Vander Meer threw two
no-hitters in successive games and
then his arm went bad.
Now Johnny is back in the big
Show again, but his old stuff has
not entirely returned. In 1937, be
spectacled Bill Dietrich of the Chi
cago White Sox, tossed a no-hitter
against the St Louis Browns.
Cy Young tosses three.
Paul Dean hurled a no-hitter
his first year in the big time. One
Bob Burke of the Washington
Senators, also threw a perfect
game, but those names are not
among the greatest Mars of the
game and age today.
There have been instances when
pitching greats, however, hve
come thru with a no-hitter. Cy
Young hurled three, Christy
Mathewson two, while Nap Ruek
er, Dazzy Vance, Ed Walsh, Carl
Hubbell and young Bobby Feller
all have come up with Mich prize
flinging.
The yim in this article, as has
been stated, is to show that even
so-so pitching artists have the
chance to hurl a perfect game.
It's jiwt old Lady Luck that hands
the game on that silver platter
and a niche in the great Fame
Hall.

Detroit beats
Tribe 5-0 for
two-ffame lead
Lynwood (Schoolboy) Rowe, the
tall righthander who was sent
baik to the minors two years ago,
is really back in the big show to
stay. Emphasis on this statement
can be reassured by observing his
huiling this year.
The Schoolboy handed the fad
ing Cleveland Indians a o-u set
back with only five hits, Saturday
to place his Detroit Tiger mates
two full games out in front of the
Tribe in the American league race.
The New York Yankees kept
pace with the Bengals by nipping
the Boston Red Sox 5-4 but are
still four and one-half games be
hind the flying Tigers.
Kennedy hurls 2-hitter.
Other junior loop games found
Vernon Kennedy holding the White
Sox to a pair of hits in the first
game of a doubleheader in which
the St. Louis Browns took both
games by 3 to 2 and 7-6.
In the National league, Cincin
nati split a twin bill with Pitts
burgh by scores of 8 to 1 and 7-8.
The Phils edged in front of the
Brooklyn Dodgers by 4-2, while
the Cubs outlasted the Cardinals
in 11 innings by 4-5. The Giants
finally broke an 11 -game losing
fitreak by beating Boston's Bees
3 to 1.

Iowa State, taking a lesson

alternating two teams to its lik

The Cyclones inaugurated Big

that reminded Iowa State fans of
the bonny days of Everett Kischer
