TWIRLER CETSI
NO HIT GAVE
BY DIXON STEWART
United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, April 80. fUD-
Wesley Ferrell of Cleveland held
a wide margin over his rivals to-
day in the race for 1881 major
league hurting honors.
The big, 23-year-old right hand
er turned in his fourth victory Of
the year-and the 50th Of his
three year major league career
yesterday when he shut out the st.
Louis Browns, 9 to 0, and celebrated
the occasion by making his triumph
a no-hit contest.
Ferrell's masterpiece was the
first hitless major league game
since May 8, 1929, when Carl Hub
bell pitched the New York Giants
to a IL to 0 decision over Pitts
burgh, and the first no-hit game
in the American league since Ted
Lyons of the ClHsgo White Sox
shut out BostopA to on August
81, 1926. VI
Ferrell himY{ attached little
significance toN Es feat, and told
the United Pre3 that the hitless
game "felt %syt9e same as win
ming any othty3h7ll game"
I've never Sn1 any ambition to
pitch no-hit glme,' he said. Ny
idea is just go1 get in there and
beat the oppoI tion."
Cleveland bal eball fans, however
regarded the game as proof OF
their contenti( h that Ferrell is .Et
best of model b day pitchers.
This year he has promised tc
win 80 ganl ls-a feat which M
pitcher has accomplished in recent
years-and Ne already has won foul
games in five starts.
Yesterdays game saw Ferrell al
his best. He mixed binding speed
and dazzling curves with a change
of pacel and had excellent control
Only 81 q runners reached first
three IN errors, and three OF
walks, and Rick Ferrell, st. Louis
catchdf and brother of the yount
pitchM was the only man to &C
to seXdld.
NcX single ball was hit hare
and |olly two were knocked out o
the xnfield, the other 25 putout'
bet made on easy pop-ups anc
sl5 rollers to the infielders. Eigh
III men were retired on strikes.

are advertised in newspaper which
pays its people on a scale high
enough so they do not have to raise
vegetables in the backyard or chick
ems on the fire escape. They are
sold in a chain store which pays to
its employees wages enabling them
to drive a private automobile.
High Wages Praised
Nov, we contend that these high
wages are one of the glories of AM
erica. They have taken much OF
the drudgery out of life. We hope
they can be continued indefinitely
for all the people. Perhaps we Will
find we cannot afford to pay these
high wages because there aren't
enough profits to go around. 1t may
be that in dividing our national as
sests, some of these high-class
services must be abolished.
Meanwhile, however, while all
other classes buy bakers bread, send
out the family washing, buy vege-
tables by telephoning to the near
est store, and expect the eggs to
come in carton-while these things
are proper for carpenters, electri-
clans, truck drivers, and railway
men, it seems to US that they may
be proper for farmers also. When-
ever there is national campaign
for everybody to do as much OF their
own work as they can, we will be
anxious to have the farmers get in
line with the rest of them.
Individual farmers who feel the
pinch of the times have a partial
remedy before them. They can raise
their own vegetables, eggs, and milk
They can have their wife do the
baking and washing. Thereby they
can reduce the cost of living. But
they know this already; they do not
need the city people to tell them
about it. Furthermore, they do not
like to have singled out the mote
that is in the farmers eye when
10, there is a beam of considerable
size in the eye of the city man."

new BALL SEEMS
TO HAVE CAUSED
BETTER PITCHING
BY LEO ii. PETERSEN
United Press Staff Corresponds

United Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, April 30. U.P)-
Whether the new ball is an aid to
pitchers, or major league hurlers
have reached mid-season form, was
matter of conjecture today among
baseball fans.
Splendid pitching performances,
,, headed by Wesley Ferrell's no-hit,
no-run exhibition, we're turned in
yesterday in four of the five major
league games played. Some fans
attributed the hurting feats to the
raised stitches on the new sphere,
while others pointed to the heavy
hitting in previous contests, inclined
to the belief the pitchers we're ap-
preaching their peak form.
The Cleveland Indians pounded
two st. Louis twirlers for l3 hits in
winning 8 to 0 behind Ferrell's un-
usual performance. Only six Browns
got on base and only one of them,
Dick Ferrell, the Cleveland's pitch
er's brother, got as far as second.
Ferrell struck out eight men. He
aided his cause by hitting home
run and a double, accounting for
four tallies.
Tommy Thomas OF the Chicago
White Sox flashed the form that
made him one Of the leagues lead
ing pitchers in 1929 by shutting out
the Detroit Tigers, 3 to 0. Thomas
allowed but seven hits. Earl White
hill gave the White SoX only five
safe blows but his four bases on
balls were costly.
The other American League game
was a slugfest, with the Washing
ton Senators besting the New York
Yankees, 9 to S. Brown, although
touched for 10 hits, went the dis
tance for the Senator'S. Four hurl-
ers worked for New York and al
lowed II hits, most of which were
punched in the third, fourth and
fifth innings.
Jess Haines held the Pittsburgh
Pirates to four hits as the st. Louis
Cardinals won, 7 to /. Haines did
not allow a hit for the first seven
innings. Kremer and Osborne yield
cd IL blows.
The victory enabled the Cardi-
nails to retain their tie for first place
in the National League with the
Chicago Cubs.
The Cubs, behind the steady
pitching of Ed Baecht, Pacific Coast
rookie, defeated Cincinnati, 3 to /.
Baecht allowed IL hits but kept
them scattered. Chicago punched
four of the seven hits it got off
Lucas in the fifth inning to score
three runs.
Rain caused the postponement OF
the Philadelphia Boston game in
the American League and the Bos-
ton Philadelphia and New York
Brooklyn contests in the National.
