He reported that when he went 70

The Valley fruit fly chief went on
TO express his appreciation OF the
cooperation from various organiza-
tons and agencies In the past and
the efforts they are now making to
dispose of the crop.
The announcement OF the extern

s P Q R I SIAN

When Vernon Kennedy Of the Chicago White Sox, pitched himself into baSeballs hall of fame with his no-nit, no run effort against the Cleveland Indians he was merely following the example set by a number of big league freshmen. The first-year hurlers seem to have en- joyed a decided edge over their more experienced fellow hurlers where no-hit performances are con- cerned.
 Kennedy's no-hitter was the first turned in by major -leaguer since September 21, 1884, when Paul Dean in his first year with the St. Louis Cardinals, turned back Brooklyn without a hit or run. Carl Hubbell set back the Pirates in the same fashion as freshman wearing the Giants livery in 1929. John Me- Graw saw two more of his first year pitchers step into the hall of fame-C Christy Matheson did it in 1901 and Jeff Tesreau came through with one in 1912.
 Fresh Makes Good
 One of the six perfect" games on the major league record books was pitched by a freshman, Charley Robertson of the Chicago White Sox. The 1922 season was only a couple of weeks old when Charley sat down the Tigers without allow ing a man to reach first base.
 The wearers of the pale hose of the Chicago American league entry seem to have quite talent for hurling no-hitters, for in addition to Robertson and Kennedy, five other pitchers have been admitted to the hall of fame while toiling in the White Sox uniform-J. J. Cal lahan C19O2), Frank Smith d905 and 1906), Ed Walsh (191D, Eddie Cicotte (l91D, and Ted Lyons (1926).
 No Jinx To Kennedy A no-hit, no-run performance does not necessarily place the stamp of greatness on pitcher, for there have been any number of cases
