ing to Manager Dick Mothershead

Bush and Coffman Follow
Burke's HitIess Game with
0ne-Hit Feats.
BY HUGH s. FULLERTON, yR.,

TIME last third Of the base
ball season is a time when
i major league pitchers are
expected to do their best,
but it has been a good many sea-
sons since they have been so eff
fective as in the current cam
paign.
Three major league moundsmen
stepped out over the week end to
pitch really great games.
Bob Burke, lanky Washington south
paw, outshone them all on Saturday
when he shut out Boston without hit.
It was the second no-hit. no-run game
of the season. Yesterday two more
pitchers came along with one-hit
games.
Guy Bush Of the Chicago Cubs held
the league leading st. Louis Cardinals
to single blow. q scratch single by
George Watkins, while Vincent Barton,
for him by clouting q home run, his
fifth in q week. Paul Derringer, sue
cumbing to the ink of a pre-game gift,
lost real hard luck game. He gave
the Cubs only three hits in eight in
nings and famed nine, only TO lose
the l-to-0 decision on Barton's clout.
nICK CoFFMAN Of the st. Louis
II Browns pitched the other one-hit
game yesterday, beating the Chi
cago White Sox by q 1-to-O count in
the second game of q double header.
The only hit on CoffmaIl, who gave one
walk and hit one batsman, was q roller
over second by Kerr. Bob Weiland,
recently recalled from Louisville. OPP
posed him in the close duel. Pat Cara
way. lean left-hander. held the Browns
to five hits TO beat Walter Stewart, q
to 2. in the opener.
The various low-hit games had little
effect on the league standings. The
triumphant Cubs finished eight games
behind the Cardinals and still q point
behind the New York Giants, who
pounded out a 9-to-4 victory over
Brooklyn. Fred Fitzsimmons pitched
five hitless innings while the Giants
piled up their go lead before he eased
up and gave 10 blows.
nITTEBURGH and Cincinnati split .
L double header, the Reds winning
the first game by attacking Larry
French in the seventh for all their
runs In 6-to-2 triumph, and the
Pirates hammering Frey and Rixey IN
