Glenn Davis Lasts Less
Than Eight Minutes In
Rough Contest

- NEW YORK, Sept. 3.-tP- Tint
New York Giants of the National
League ruined the football fare
well of Army's touchdown twins
Doc Blanchard and Glenn Davis,
when the.- battered the Eastern
College ALL Stars, 81 to 0, before
bored crowd of 2,102 at the Polo
Grounds tonight.
In a game marred by too-fre-
ouent penalties and the slow dis
integrat:on of the Collegians urder
the pounding of the pros, Davis
lasted less than eight minutes be-
fore he was carried from the field
with a recurring knee injury. With
cut his sidekick, Blanchard show
ed little.
The Giants got off fast when
they scored within three minutes
by recapturing a loose All-Star
ball in the Collegians' end zone
From there it was no contest with
the All-Stars always deep in their
own territory as the Giants scor-
ed their sixth victory in seven
such contests.
Davis brought the opening kick
off back 2 yards from the end zone
but three tries lost five yards.
Then Ed Allen of Penn dropped
back to punt but the pass from
eenter sheltered through bis legs
into the end zone and tackle Jim
White recovered for a Giant touch
Down. Ken Strong place-kicksd the
first of three extra points, although
he later was to show poor 1srm by
missing four field goal tries.
At seven minutes and 4 seconds
of the first quarter, Davis was IL
jured as he returned a quick KICK.
Even without him, the All-StaIs,
with Joe Bartos of Navy doing
most of he gaining, chalked up
two first downs to the Giant A.
yaTd-line and watched their last
scoring chance go up in smoke as
Bob Orlando of Colgate missed a
field goal attempt from the 30.
The Giants threatened twice
more in the second quarter, going
% the Star 80 and again to the
the two, but both times were toss
ed back. In each case Strong
wound it up by missing field goal
attempts, once from the 46 and
again from the II.
Ia the third period, the Giants
2cored tA~ir second touchdown on
q 60-yard march to the nine. The
Stars threw them back to the II
but Jerry Niles of Iowa whipped
a scoring pass to George Franck
Of Minnesota. Twice again Giant
drives were stopped and twice
more Strong missed, from the Is
and the 80, in field goal attempts.
The Giants went SO yards in the
final period for their clincher.
Frances Reagan tossing a 14-yard
scoring pass to Jim Blumenstock.

Former Duke Star Pitches
Athletics To 3 To 0
Triumph Over Sens

Highlander Bill McCahan, Phil
adelphia Athletics rookie, today
faced only % men-one more than
absolutely necessary to hurl a
80 no-hit, no-run triumph over the
Washington Senators.
It was the third no-hitter in the
majors this season, second in the
American League and the 131st
similar hurting feat achieved
since records we're first compiled
back in 1875.
The Is year old McCahan
missed a perfect game by a mere
flick of the wrist. Ferris Fain, the
AS first baseman, threw wild in
covering Stan Spence's deep
grounder in the second inning.
The fleet Washington outielder
reached second but he never got
any further.
McCahan, a Duke University
graduate, who came up to the AS
last season after a good season
with Toronto of the international
League where he won II and lost
seven, was never in serious
trouble-but a few times he had
to thank the slick fielding of his
teammates for beautiful saves.
II knew they hadn't gotten a
hit" Bill said in the dressing
room after the game, but I
wasn't bearing down just for the
no-hitter. ! wanted to win. Our
clubs lost seven in a row and all
1 wanted to do was bust that
streak"
"It seemed that every pitch I
made did just what l wanted it,"
McCahan said.
Don Black Of the Cleveland In
dams tossed the other American
league no-hitter this year on July
10-coincidentally against the Ath-
letics. In the National Ewell
Blackwell Of the Cincinnati Reds
held the Boston Braves hitless on
June 10.
But McCahan's performance
was far superior. He didn't walk
a man-though Black and Black
well both did. He struck out two.
cutting down pinch hitter Cecil
Travis in the ninth for the last
out of the game.
Though Bills fast ball kept him
out of trouble virtually all the
way. 1t took several sparkling
fielding gems to save the no-hit-
ter.
In the eirst, Pete Suder made
a lightning grab and throw to nip
speedy Buddy Lewis at first. Sam
Chapman shared several long
flies deep in center field but it
vas up to Elmer Valo to make
the catch of the day.
Mickey Vernon slammed a ball
almost to the right center field
wall in the seventh but Valo-just
back in action after being beaned
by a pitched ball-hauled it down
as 1t seemed ready to smash into
the scoreboard.
4 native Philadelphia, Mecca
han is the first AS pitcher to hurl
a no-hitter since Dick Fowler
the trick at Shibe Park on
Sept. 9, 1s45 against the St. Louis
Browns.
BY a strange coincidence catch
er Buddy Rosar, who handled Nc
Cahan perfectly today, was behind
the plate when Fowler hung up
his pitching gem. Washington's
Gather Frank Mancuso also
caught Frank Miller, the St. Louis
pitcher defeated by Fowler.
1t was the first time in 30 years,
too, that a Washington team was
a victim Of a no-hit game. Ernie
Shore of the Boston Red Sox re-
corded the triumph in 1917.
