FIRST NO-HITTER

OF MAJOR LEAGUE SEASON

As Tigers Crush Red Sox 3-0

New York, July 20. Jim Bunning, a 25-year-old fireballer from South- gate, Kentucky, who won 20 games last sea- son, pitched the first no-hitter of the Major League season today when he hurled the Detroit Tigers to a 3-0 victory over the Boston Red Sox.

A crowd of 29,929 roared as the 6-foot 3-inch Bunning struck out 12 batters and allowed two on only three Red Sox to reach base walks and one on a hit batsman. It was the first time the Red Sox were held hitless in their home park since 1926.
