T IKE an accident going some
place to happen, or q guy fall
ing of his horse, you never can
~ tell what spot fame will pick
out to land or.
That's not taking any Of the credit
from Curveballer Freddy Farmhouse
for the no-hit, no-run game by which
he checked his hat in the hall Of
fame yesterday. But. rated OIL the
records, Freddy, who has kicked
around the National League for II
seasons without causing any whole
sale gnashing of teeth on the part of
rival batters, certainly would not be
one Of the ten or twenty pitchers
you'd name as most likely to turn the
trick. And particularly since he's
working for the Brooklyn Dodgers.
Game Halted in Eighth.
THE same thing applied to Bill
Dietrich when he did it for the
White Sox against the St. Louis
Browns back on June l, or to any
number of the fingers who have
broken into the charmed circle. A
lot of them didn't figure to come
within a country mile of the stunt.
Like Dietrich and Farmhouse, they
were largely up-and ddowners.
Yet, there it is in the record books
today, 33-year-old Fred Farmhouse,
with record of 102 victories and
II losses in tossing for the Cards, Bees
and Brooklyns since 1927, receives
credit for a no-hit, no-run game. He
walked six and seventh man drew
life on an error as he did the job
against the Cincinnati Reds by a SO
margin.
To be sure it was somewhat Of a
side-door entrance to the Hall Of
Fame, since the game was halted by
rain with two men out in the eighth
inning, but it's regulation ball game
nevertheless, and the stunt stands.
Frankhouses feat took a chunk Of
the spotlight away from the National
League fight, which seems to be going
a long way and rapidly getting no.

Giants Miss Opportunity.
WITH the league-leading Cubs idle
in Boston because OF rain, the
second-place Giants had neat chance
to close some Of that two-game gap
in their double bill with their favorite
stooges, the Pittsburgh Pirates. But
the best Bill Terry's Terriers could do
was split even, thereby leaving things
strictly as they were. Dutch Brandt
and Mace Brown Of the Bucs teamed
up In a four hitter to take the opener
10, after which Lefty Al Smith sur
prised for 80 Giant win In the
nightcap.
The Phillies turned in the day's
sumner when they pinned a double
dose on the nose-diving Cardinals, Al
and 6-3, to climb into sixth place. It's
been so long since they were there
they didn't even know the old place.
The Yankees increased their Aneri-
can League lead to 1lh games with a
4-3 win over the Browns, largely
through the clouting Of Lou Gehrir.

He'd cheat 4 feet sometimes.
And fellows who hit pitchers

I'VE used to paste piece Of emery
