 Don Black, a reformed character who was all washed up" a year ago, has eclipsed lis fsmous Cleve- land teammate Bobby Teller by pitching the first no-hitter Of tkc American League.
 Blacks effort was a little spotty in the early stages. He walked the first two men he faced and leaned heavily cn his mates field ing enroute to his dazzling success against his old Philadelphia mates.
 Joe Gordons overhead running catch of a pop fly in right field in the third inning was the field ing gem that saved the day. Black who had thrown two no-Eitters for Petersburg, Va, in the Class A Virginia League in 1922, helped set up his 80 margin, pushing home one run with a squeeze bunt.
 Fsller, whose aching back fcrced him to miss the All-Star game raoked up his 1lth victory in the 2-l second game but he reluired felr from Ed Klieman in the ninth to save the edge given him by Hank Edwards two-rlm homer.

cake indicate, in line with folklore,
that Margaret is grown up and "21

candles-one for the birthday land
one to grow on"
