IN THE NEWS:
Rookie Bill McCahan of the Philadelphia Athletics
no-hits the Washington Senators 3-0. 1B Ferris
Fain allows the only runs when his toss to McCahan
on an easy grounder in the 2nd inning goes wide. McCahan,
the former Duke University star, was the losing pitcher
when Don Black threw his no-hitter July 10th. The
Senators have not suffered a no-hitter since Ernie
Shore pitched his 26-out perfect game in 1917.

Ralph Kiner hits his record 8th HR in 4 games to

the Boston Braves 4-3. The rain of HRs exceeds
the 7 in 4 games hit by Tony Lazzeri in 1936. On the
18th Kiner will again pass Mize in the homer derby
by belting his 50th of the season. Mize will get his
50th two days later. Kiner will get number 51 on September
23 against Jim Hearn of the Cards, and Mize will tie
it up 2 days later off Johnny Sain of Boston. Both
players have until the season finales on September
28 to break the tie, but neither will succeed.

IN THE NEWS:
On the season's last day, the Browns, desperate
for a ticket seller, bring announcer Dizzy Dean in
to pitch against the White Sox. Diz gives up only
3 hits in 4 innings and laces a clean single in his
only at bat, but a pulled leg muscle forces his retirement.
The White Sox score all their runs in the 9th to win
5-2. Even with Diz, the game draws less than
16,000, and the Browns finish the year with only
320,000 attendance, less than half that of 1946. Three
days before the finale a Browns' game drew only
350.

is coaxed out of retirement and signs to manage the

inning and win the World Series opener 5-3. A
record WS crowd of 73,365 at the Stadium pays $325,828.
