(By the Associated Press
A good many major league mounds
men have seen the shadow Of Their
perpetual goal-a non-hit, no-rur
game-this season but none has quite
reached it.
Two more nearly made the grade
Thursday when Silas johnson of the
Cincinnati Reds missed a perfect game
by the margin of one single in beat
ing the Boston Braves 40 and Vernon
Gomez, the New Yor.. Yankees left
handler, gave up only two hits in So
victory over Detroit.
The game Gomez pitched was real
heart-breaker. For eight innings he
refused to grant single blow or to
let q Tiger runner get past second
base even though he walked seven
Then Charley Gehringer, Detroit
second baseman, met his first pitch
In the ninth squarely Oh the nose and
drove 1t into the right field bleach
ers tor a home run Gerald Walker
then clouted double and scored on
an infield out after Gomez had un-
corked a wild pitch that sent him to
third.
johnson didn't suffer so rude a
blow. Wally Berger nicked him for a
single in the second inning and was
promptly thrown out trying to steal
second. From then on, johnson gave
neither hit nor walk, facing only
~ batsmen in all.
Standings Scrambled
The victory boosted the Reds up a
couple of notches in the scrambled
National League standing, which
found four clubs locked in virtual
tie behind the pace-setting Pittsburgh
Pirates and New York Giants. The
Reds went into fifth place tie with
the Brooklyn Dodgers, who took a
2-1 tie-inning defeat at Pittsburgh's
hands.
A few points ahead of Cincinnati
and Brooklyn, the st. Louis Cardin-
mails gained a tie for third with Bos-
ton by putting on five-run rally
against John Berry in the fifth to
defeat the Phillies So.
The Giants shattered a three-game
losing streak by winning both games
OF q doubleheader from Chicago, 81
and sd as big Fred Fitzsimmons
pitched steadily III the opener and the
Cubs blew" the second game with
four errors.
The Cleveland Indians and Chicago
White SoX, running in tandem, moved
up to second in the American League,
passing the Washington Senators.
Cleveland gave away four runs to
Washington in the first inning then
came from behind to win out in the
ninth, 6-5. The pale hose got two
unearned runs off Merritt (Sugar)
Cain in the first inning and proceed
ed to make them good for a 81 vic
tory over the Philadelphia Athletics
as Sad Jones pitched five-hit ball.
Cold weather at st. Louis kept the
Browns and the Boston Red Sox in
active.
