George Fosters feat OF holding the
Yankees hitless in Boston Wednesday
was the eighteenth no-hit game pitched
In the American League since Its or
ganization In 1900. More than two years
elapsed since the last no-hit game was
twirled In Ban Johnson's league. Joe
Benz. OF the Chicago white Sox. pitch
ing 1t against Cleveland on May 81.
1914.
In the National League there have
years OF its career, the last one also
being by a Boston pitcher, Tom Hughes.
I'd. of the Braves. who held the Pirates
hitless only last week. on June IS. That
q no-hit game is a rare performance
may be noted from the fact that in both
National and American Leagues they
have averaged only one a year.
Several pitchers have had the mis-
fortune OF holding opposing teams
without a hit In nine innings. only to
yield hits later on and be deprived Of
places in the No-hit Hall OF Fame.
Among such performers in the last de
cade are Leon Ames, formerly on the
Giants: Harry Mcintyre. formerly OF
Brooklyn, and Jim Scott. OF the White
Sox.
1t is interesting to note that neither
Walter Johnson, our own star. nor
Grover Alexander. the present pitch
| ing princes of the two major leagues.

Along about Thanksgiving time
Peter Robidoux, the Wallace banker
and stockman, shipped 100 grass fat
steers to Kansas City and on being
offered six cents per pound for them,
re-shipped them to Hoxie and placed
them in charge of Harm Rosenkrans
with instruction to feed them all the
corn and alfalfa he could get them
to eat. At that time the average
weight of the bunch was trifie over
HOO and last Sunday afternoon when
taken from the lot for shipment they
showed an average gain of right at
500 pounds. Had Mr.. Rodidoux &C
cepted the Thanksgiving price, each
steer would have brought him less
than SO, but by feeding he is getting
twice that figure, say nothing of the
increased value of the 100 hogs which
waxed fat in the lot with the steers.
