Blackwell Narrowly Misses Second No Hit Bid
Cincinnati ace Ewell Blackwell pitched a near no hitter again, leaving two outs shy in the ninth as Brooklyn’s Eddie Stanky and Jackie Robinson spoiled the bid. Blackwell earned a 4 0 win in the opener while Furillo boosted Brooklyn with a grand slam in the nightcap. Other MLB results included Culler’s RBI in Chicago, Berra homering for New York, and the Yankees beating Detroit 6 5. The Indians split a doubleheader with Boston, Scheib blanking Chicago, and the Phillies outlasting Pittsburgh in 13 innings before a Sunday curfew ended play.

Yale Baseball Edges Toward AAU Finals Losses Mark Narrow Gaps
Monday Matinee notes Yale baseball, a finalist in the national collegiate AAU tournament at Kalamazoo this week, has six losses this season all by one run. Smiley Quick, famed for a golfing feud with Frank Stranahan last summer, may head east to work for Frank's father in Toledo. Also: fashion in golf as three players in the PGA event wore knickers. George May, promoter of a Chicago links show, appeared in Canary yellow slacks, a red and blue shirt, red coat and red glasses. Babe Ruth and Sammy Byrd watched the matches. Ruth told Byrd that he has a good tour yet a lousy ball club.
