Cincinnati rolled up nineteen hits,

II the Phillies and Giants should

would move into the runner-up posi-

BASEBALL ON SUNDAY
Only Day Many Have to See Cham

NEW YORK, May 25.-Thousands .
of fans in Greater New York who
never can see a championship game
during the week favor the sport on
Sunday. II the plan OF the National
Commission to hold Sunday games in
all of the major league cities is
adopted, It is believed that the pub
lie will respond with liberal patron
age. particularly in view Of the prop
osition to turn a large portion of
the receipts over to those who are
left behind when Uncle Sans new
army goes to the battle line.
There may be some legal obstacles
in the way, but the members of the

NO-HT TWIRLERS

Five We're Sent to Minors
and Came Back.
SEVERAL ARE SHUNTED ABOUT
Real Stars Fail to Accomplish Uu-
usual Feat.
SEVERAL ARE SHUNTED ABOUT

With the baseball season little more
than a month old. five men in the
major leagues have pitched nine in
nings without yielding a basehit.
This does not include the game pitch
ed by Koob. OF the st. Louis Ameri-
cans. because OF the suspicious cir
cumstances surrounding the scoring
OF that contest. But ive men pitch
ing nine innings without giving q hit
is q most remarkable record when
the very limited time that has elapsed
since the campaign opened is con-
sidered- There are several features
connected with the performances that
are unusual
In Unparalleled Feat.
In the first place. two Of the twirI-
ers achieving an ambition dearest to
the heart OF every pitcher performed
against each other in the same game.
These men were Toney, of Cincinnati,
and Vaughn, OF Chicago. Baseball
history does not furnish q parallel to
this wonderful feat. The other pitch
ers credited with no-hit games are
Cicotte, Chicago, Americans; Mog-
ridge, New York Americans, and
Groom, st. Louis Americans.
A singular fact connected with the
performance OF each man is that all
five can be considered in the class OF
cast-offs, to the extent that their SER
vices were not considered worthy OF
retention by other major league clubs,
and they were accordingly released.
Are Sent to Minors.
Boston released Cicotte years ago as
an undesirable. Mogridge was passed
up by the Chicago Americans as a
failure. Vaughn served time with
the Yankees and Washington and
went back to the minors as having
proved himself not fast enough for
the majors.
Toney was in the majors twice,
the last time with the Chicago Cubs
He was released TO Louisville, from
which club Cincinnati obtained his
release. Groom was v the majors,
drifted to the minors and then back
to the big leagues and jumped to the
Federal League in 1914.
johnson and Alexander Fail.
The paradox OF the performances of
these mediocre pitchers is that they
transcribe their names to future base
ball generations as worthy OF occupy
ing inches in the celebrated baseball
hall OF fame. while Alexander and
Johnson, without peers in their day.
have yet to make their name secure
by such performances.
