FROM THE BASEBALL CHRONOLOGY » July 18, 1905: The Pirates tally eight hits including a HR, over seven innings against Christy Mathewson, to win, 2-1. The game is briefly stopped by Johnstone after a Giants fan tosses a pop bottle at Pirate RF Otis Clymer while he's chasing down a single. » August 5, 1908: The Nationals' Otis Clymer and Jim Delahanty draw indefinite suspensions for abusing umpire Silk O'Loughlin in Cleveland. Delahanty, a Cleveland native, is later fined $50 and barred from the Cleveland ballpark for one year for his unbecoming conduct. » July 31, 1909: For the 2nd time in two years -- the first was on May 25, 1908 -- Bill Burns has a no-hitter broken up with two outs in the 9th, when Washington's Otis Clymer singles. But Burns and the White Sox win 1–0, besting Walter Johnson in the first of two games. Burns is the only pitcher to suffer this fate twice, until Dave Stieb of Toronto does on September 24 and 30, 1988.
