April 23rd

Dan McGann took Waddell deep twice in this one...both on 1-12 rolls and got the ballpark split (1-9). Meanwhile, the Pirates didn't notch their first hit off Jack Harper until the 8th inning when Claude Ritchey singled on a 1-7 split chance to break up the no-hitter!

First baseman Dan McGann slammed 2 homeruns and Jack Harper took a no-hitter
into the 8th inning at Robison Field as the St. Louis Cardinals beat the
Pittsburg Pirates by the count of 3 to 0.
 
Harper(1-0) came through with a virtuoso performance against the Pittsburg
hitters.  He surrendered only 3 hits and 1 walk in 9 innings.  The
right-handed Harper lost his chance for a no-hitter when Claude Ritchey
singled with nobody out in the 8th inning.  St. Louis had only 4 hits for the
game.  
 
Rube Waddell(0-1) was the losing pitcher.  He gave up just 3 runs and 4 hits
in 8 innings.  'I thought it was my best performance in a long time,' said
Harper. 'I had good command early in the game. I had my control and composure
and everything went well.'
