History was made in Philadelphia as J.R. Richard(4-7) tossed a no-hitter and the Philadelphia Warriors defeated the St Louis Browns by the score of 11 to 0.
Richard was spectacular. He walked 7 St Louis batters. The Philadelphia players and coaches started to leave Richard alone with his thoughts after the game reached the 7th inning. By the time the 9th inning rolled around, you could hear a pin drop every time he went to his wind-up - and an explosion after every out. Richard whiffed an impressive total of 10 St Louis batters. Philadelphia managed 15 in their victory.
Vern Ruhle(5-9) was tagged with the loss. He allowed 10 hits and 2 walks in 7 innings. Richard was in a jubilant mood after the game. 'If I'd known I was going to throw a no hitter I would have gotten a haircut!' he said, much to the delight of the clubhouse gathering.
