OK, sports fans, two once-in-a-lifetime events in one game. I thought this one was worth a second look. When I was printing a copy of the main story I realized that all the Major League games were recounted on the front page of the sports section. None continued on back pages. So I copied them all. The standings are at the end.

The youthful Pirate right-hander lost every debate with Umpire Tiny Parker but his salary wing spoke with far more effectiveness as he shut out the Giants with five scattered hits for a 2-to-0 victory at the Polo Grounds.

I don’t think I’ve heard that particular term for throwing arm before.

IMHO, this is the one baseball record that will never be broken, considering the way pitchers are used these days.
