Pitched Hitless Game.

On one Of the eastern trips of the team
Guy was selected to pitch in an exhibit
ton game against a strong minor team.
He astonished the world by shutting out
the team without a hit. His work was
SO impressive that he was called upon
to pitch In championship games and at
once made good. He and Mullanc took
regular turns in playing first base and
pitching.
There is sequel to the no-hit game
Hecker pitched and he delights in telling
it, When the LouisvilleS again invaded
the east another contest WAS arranged
with the same minor team, and Heckcr
was eager to duplicate his previous per-

corning the result. However. this time
he was knocked all over the field. and
the boots and bowls of the frenzied
spectators rang in his ears for many d
day afterward.
