FROM THE BASEBALL CHRONOLOGY

| » September 9, 1914: In the opener at Boston, the Phils win their only game in the series, 10–3, behind Pete Alexander. In game two of a doubleheader, George A. Davis, a Harvard law student, pitches the only shutout of his brief career, a 7–0 no-hitter for the first-place Braves over the Phils. The spitballer walks the bases loaded with no outs in the 5th, but "he rose to the occasion to prove his perfect candidacy to a niche in the hall of stars," writes the Boston Post. Released by the Highlanders in 1912, Davis will be 3–3 this year and next, then hang up his glove to start a law practice. |
