No hit games are usu ally scarce in the spring when the hitters are ahead of the pitchers. To Bill Rudisill upon his selec tion as manager of the local soft ball team. To Paul Harris for his unrelent ing search for poultry wire for a backstop at the local ball park. To Mr. McDougle for permis sion to use the local school facili ties for baseball. To my readers for their toler ance and long suffering. Did You Know Dept.? Atley Donald, a member of the N. Y. Yankees threw a baseball in Cleveland, Ohio, at the rate of 139 feet per second, or at a rate of 94.7 miles per hour. This was the fastest pitch ever recorded on a measuring device belonging to the Cleveland Indians? The longest baseball game ever played in the Major league was a 26 inning game between Brook lyn and Boston, May 1, 1920. The game ended, a 1-1 tie after 3 hours and 50 minutes play, due to darkness. The batteries were Cadore and Elliott for Brooklyn, Oeschger and Gowdy for Boston. The amazing thing is that both pitchers went the route, Cadore allowing 15 hits while Oeschger allowed only 9. The longest game in the Amer ican league was a 4-1, triumph by the Philadelphia Athletics over the Boston Red Sox, September 1, 1906, in 24 innings. This game lasted 4 hours and 47 minutes. Jack Coombs, now baseball coach at Duke, was the winning pitcher going the route. The Boston team used two pitchers, Harris and Car rigan, (the sissies). The remark able thing is that both games were played in Boston. Carrigan was the manager of the Boston Red Sox in their pennant winning years of 1914-15. The Asheville Citizen in recall ing that Dale Alexander, manager of the Knoxville extrant in the Tri-State League, said he was once champion batter of the Amer ican League.
