'he first no-hit game in which not @ man reached first—often called the first no-hit game in baseball history —was played at Iona, Mich., in Aug- ust, 1876, more than a year after Mc- Tlory’s feat, The contesting clubs were the St. Louis Reds and the Cass team of Detroit. James Galvin, of the Reds, was the hero of that occasion, gnd the first professional pitcher to twirl a hitless game, After the launching of the Na.t!onll League in 1876, several years passed gat Opening Sale! ‘orfler to make pubhc our New uarters, we are offenng All ” etims, Stoves and All House srnishing Goods from e"" hope that the public will takell yantage of this sale. gal & Blrnbaum 432 MAIN STREET before a no-hit game was played. In 1880 Pitcher Richmond, of 'the Wor- chester club, then in the National League, pitcher a game agalnst Cleve- land in which his opponents were not | only held hitless, but in which not a | _ man of the Clevelands perched on first. Richmond had previously. per- formed this feat twice in. the,.pre-|. ceding year. In june, 1880, John M.! ‘Ward, then on the slab for the Prov: idence National Leaguers, got into the baseball hall of fame in a game in which not a single Buffalo player reached the initial bag. Corcoran of (‘hlquo and Galvin, then with Buffalo, also pitched no-hit contests that year. There were no more no-hit games in. the National: League until 1882, when Mullane and Hecker, of Louis- ville, and got into the limelight, and Corcoran of Chicago repeated his 1880 teat. Radbourne and Dalley, of Prov- idence and Chicago, respectively, were the no-hit heroes of 1883." Corcoran twirled his third no-hit game in 1884, end Galvin of Buffalo also repeated. Morris and Mountain of Columbus, Atkissen of the Athletics, and McKeon of Indianapolis, also got no-it honors that annum. ~Atkissen repeated in 1886.

Joss, of Cleveland, performed a similar feat against Chicago in 1802, Since 1880 there have been an avers age of about two no-hit games in the major circuits each year. The banner Arrival of Lusitania Survivors Profoundly Stirred Queenstown i year was 1908, when Young of Bos-; I ‘ ton, Wiltse of New York, Rucker of Brooklyn, Smith of Chicgxo, and Joss and Rhoades of Cleveland, all pulled this stellar stunt. Considering all the charnces a pitc- | her has for spilling the beans, a no- ; hit game is a truly wonderful per- formance, and a contest in which no player reaches first is'to be classed as just one degree lower than a miracle, EAST ST.
