twirled games in which no opponent
reached first base, but not under the
same conditions.
Back in the days when skillful bats
men were few and far between-in
1880 to be exact-Lee Richmond OF
Worcester pitched the first no hit,
no man to reach. first base game In
organized baseball. The Cleveland
team, to be avenged by Joss twenty
eight years later, was the victim.
Five days later John Montgomery
Ward, then the star twirler OF Provl-
dence, in a game against Buffalo,
linked his name with Richmond's, to
remain undisturbed for tWentyfour
years. May 5. 1904. ICY" Young de-
feated the Athletics, 10 man reaching
the initial sack; the first feat OF the
kind in modern baseball.
In the generation that had passed
since a like miracle had occurred the
pitching distance had been Increased
one-third. the number Of balls" de-
creased from eight to three, while
scientific" hitting had become an
art.
It remained for Joss to surpass this
record. Like his three great prede-
cessors, he pitched a game In which
all the batsmen did was to walk
right I'D and turn around and walk
right back again" When Richmond
Ward and Young made their records
there was nothing at stake except
the game; Joss staged his all but i'm
possible performance when the win

pitched ball.
On the morning Of October 2, 1908,
the Chicago White Sox arrived in
Cleveland for a two-game series. AT
that time the four western teams
were in a fight that has had no par

league. The proverbial blanket would
have covered Detroit, Cleveland, Chi
cago, and st. Louis, so closely were
they punched. Each team had only
five games to play, and the league flag

There Is one thing that makes a
ball player sorer than anything else,
and that is when he pulls of a play
that he thinks is about the wisest and
smartest he ever made, and then have
some fellow cross him and make him
look as If he was the worst bonehead
in the business. You know there Is a
saying among the players that you
cant catch a bad base runner on the
bases, and there is a lot of truth In
1t. In fact 1t is the smart ball player
who makes the worst blunders, and l
know several really clever men who
have become known as boneheads
simply because Of the way things
turned out.
There Is one play that I always will
remember. l don't mind telling 1t
now, since We had rather sweet re-

me, but for a couple Of years I used
to boil over every time l thought OF
