Sam Jones Throws Historic No Hitter for Cubs
Chicago pitcher Sam Jones, the first Negro major leaguer to hurl a no hitter, blanks the Pittsburgh Pirates 4 0. He walked seven in the ninth before striking out three on 11 pitches, earning Cubs manager Stan Hack’s bold plan to remove him only if a walk occurred. Jones credits catcher Clyde McCullough for guiding the effort and cites anticipation of a late game surge.
