Stark Throws Perfect Game As Happitime Triumphs
Mel Stark pitched a perfect no hit no run game for Happitime against Heck's, fanning 4 and preserving the shutout through the final out at Ellis Park. Key plays included backhanding a sharp grounder to end the 5th and a diving catch in left field, with Keith Newell's club scoring two runs in the 4th on Beck’s blunders and a fourth-inning run due to wildness and fielding miscues.

Signed for only 800 dollars by Braves
Milwaukee AP Carl Willey a shy 27 year old right hander paid the world champion Milwaukee Braves their first dividend Monday night on an investment of 800 dollars. The Braves paid him the sum to sign in 1951 after scout Jeff Jones spotted the pitcher at a New England try out camp. Willey from Bangor Maine says most of them were fast balls and he could not get the curve over until the middle innings, using it to set up batters for his fast ball.
