Good Hurling Marks Major League Games New York. June 9 — (UP) Weary Walt Masterson might be pardoned today for adding his beef to others accumulated through the years on the failure of baseball rules to give credit to a pitcher who does everything but throw his arm off yet gets no official recognition In the box score. Masterson tolled 16 long Innings for the Washington Senators yes terday without giving up a run, and when his team mates finally won the pitching classic of the year. 1 to 0 in the 18th nt Chicago, it was the inappropriately named Early Wynn, who got credit for the belated triumph. The game tied a major league mark for the longest 1 to 0 battle in the books and oddly enough it was these same two teams which set It back In 1918 when Washington also was a 1 to 0 winner. The mark was equalled again In 1933 when the (Hants beat the Cardinals In a 1 to 0 18-innlng grind. Masterson, perhaps pitching the best game of his career, held Chicago to six hits for the 16 innings, all of them singles. He fanned seven and allowed Just one man to reach third base. That was in the 16th when Chicago filled the bases as he walked two batters and Rob Kennedy filed out to end the threat. Washington scored Its lone run off relief pitcher Earl llarrlst. who took over for Frank Paplsh in the 13th. on a triple by catcher Al Evans and a long fly by Sherry Robertson Papish himself tolled 13 brilliant innings, yielding only five hits before giving out to fatigue. The White Sox broke the scoring drought in a hurry to win the second game, 8 to 2. getting six

runs In the first two innings and breeding to victory behind Bob Gillespie's steady, though not brilliant flinging. Floyd Baker led the 14 hit Chicago attack with a double and two singles. Good pitching was the order of the day elsewhere with the Athletics and Indians trading shutouts by Phil Marchildon and Bobby Feller at Cleveland and with Hal Newhouser of the Tigers scoring his third shutout In six victories, beating the Boston Red Box. 5 to 0. Manfiildon scored a four-hit, 4 to 0 shutout over the Indiahs in the first game with Ferris Fain |>TiAidinr the necessary punch on a homer and a double that highlighted a two run fifth inning rally. Feller had his speed and flness In perfect order as he blanked the A's with three hits to win the second game. 2 to 0. He had a no-hitter until the sixth when he yielded the first of three singles to Eddie Joost. Singles by Hal Peck. Dale Mitchell. George Metovich and Ixru Boudreau gave the Indians their two runs in the first inning. Newbouser limited the Red Sox to four bits and didn’t let a man get beyond second at Detroit. He also drove in the first two Tiger runs with a timely single. A two run double by George Kell was the other big blow as the Tigers handed Dave (Boo) Ferries his fifth setback. The Yankees and Browns finished all-even at St. Louis, the Browns winning the first game, 9 to 2 as Moss. Vent Stephens. Walt Judnlch, and Al Zarilla hit homers to back up Jack Kramer's seven hit pitching. The Browns made 14 hits off three Yankee pitchers. New York came from behind to win the second game, 5 to 4, with George McQuinn’s two run double the big blow. Relief pitcher Joe Page was the winner. Ralph Kiner's ninth homer in the ninth inning gave Pittsburgh a 5 to 4 victory at Philadelphia after the Phils took the opener, 5 to 2 on the pitching and hitting of Eml) (Dutch) Leonard who pitched steadily to win his seventh game and contributed a three run double in a five-run fourth inning. Kiner also hit a first game homer with a man abase to spoil M'onard's shutout. All other National league games were rained out. I Yesterday's star Wait Masterson .of Washington who pitched 16 of the 18 scoreless innings In a 1 to 0 victory over Chicago, gave up only six hits and struck out seven but didn't get credit for the victory.
