Some strange things happen in this
world of baseball. The AS won an :
otber game today---their second
Sstra,ebtecopping the opener of double
bill With the Red Sox. but that's not
The half of it. dcaric. The rest is even
more important.
Young Dave, Keefe shut out the Bos-
tonians, 6 to q. and that isn't all. He
allowed them only two hits in his run
less victory and yet that's not all. He
did not permit hit until the eighth
frame and still that's not all. One of
the two Red Sox hits made off his three :
fingered delivery was tainted. flukish
and all that. 1t really wasn't deserved,
don't " know.
Young Kecfc pitcncd the most re-
markablc game seen on Mr.. Shibe's s
baseball lawn this campaign. He walk
ed only two men and only four reached
first base. OF these four, two were ad-
yanced as far as second. But no one
got any further. ..
The fortunate populacr who wit
messed the game gave Kecfe great
hand for his showing. And when he
\ wentyta.tIe dugout at the end of the
\ game, <VNnie Mack smiled. which Is
lsomethine unusual for Connie this sea :,
,sson. The As crowded around the
youngster and huggcd him and almost
knocked his shoulders off, slappipg him
on the back.
In the meantime the As socked two
Boston pitchers. Karr and Eibel. for a
total of, ten hits, two of which were
doubles.
keefe Goes Strongly
Keefc continued his remarkable pitch
ing and in the fifth. sixth and seventh,
he set the Sox down in order. In the
eighth, his no-hit game was spoiled
with one down, Galloway fumbled
Fosters groundcr and. after Scott had
been retired. Walters came through
with the first safety off the youthful
Mack twirler. At that 1t was a fuke.
Waltcrs's drive went down the third
base line and Thomas was all set for
1t behind the bag. The ball hit the
cushion and rolled off to one side.
In the meantime Eibel was holding the
As safe. Welsh singled in tl~ fifth.
heefc inserted one. base blow in the
sixth, Dykes got his third safety in the
seventh and Galloway drove n hit into
center, but nothing came of them.
Bailey further ruined Keefe's no hit
dream when he started the ninth with
double. Smith hit for McNally and
was struck out OIL three pitched balls.
Menosky walked, but neither runner
advanced.
Start in First
Just as il they were on regular
long distance winning streak, the AS
went after karr in the first inning, when
they put one run over on a single by
Thomas, boot by Wally Schang and
another on fly blow off Jimmy Dykes's
bat.
Following the first, all was quiet on
both fronts until the fourth. Dave
keefe walked Schang In the second,
but that was all.
In the fourth the Mackmen tore into
the Red Sox like Benny Leonard tore
into Charley White in the ninth round.
They chased Karr from the hill and
treated Eibel, his successor, rudely, to
say the least. In all they collected five
runs. which is more miraculous than
Yesterdays victory.
Jimmy Dykes started the flar-up
when he walked with one down. Fol-
lowing came single by Welsh and
double by Burrus, which admitted
Dykes. Perkins was Intentionally
passed, filling the bases.
Chick Galloway crossed the dope by
rapping double to the left field
bcachcrs, and Welsh and Burrus regis
tered.
Perkins came over on Keefe's infield
out, and Galloway entered into the
scoring activities on Wits in6eld
safety.
