Show BIG POLICEMAN FIRST TO HURL NO HIT GAME i s 4 vi- its j liilii"' Hale and hearty at sixty-seven, as clear-skinned and bright-eyed a warrior war-rior as ever retired on righteous laurels, lau-rels, Washington Bradley, a Philadelphia Philadel-phia policeman, stands forth as the first man in major baseball to pitch a no hit, no run, no man on first game. This feat came as a climax to four straight shutouts on four straight days. The great event took place on July 15, 1876. At that time Bradley was a member of the St. Louis team. In the forty-six years of Its corporate existence, baseball has known but five of these games to dot its annals and to add sparkle to its history. |
