The pitchers for both clubs were un-

MINNEAPOLIS, May 2O.-Man-
ager Joe Cantillon is as proud
as Harry Harper himself over
the no hit, no run game which
the former Griffman pitched
when he shut out St. Paul by A
to 0. "This kid is going to
help our pennant winning
chances more than ever" said
Cantillon.
Harper walked seven batters but
frightened up when they got
near the keystone sack. He
also struck out twelve batters.
Of course, his performance
makes him one of MinneapoliS
first string pitchers, and with
nearly a full season of active
work ahead of him, he is ex-
pected to be Improved wonder
