Kansas City Pitcher Hurls Perfect Game By'United Pres* Carl Derose. Kansas City’s "dead armed" pitcher overshadowed everything that happened in the American Association last night and probably every pitching performance in the league's 45 year history. Derose hurled the first perfect game since the league was organised In 1902. retiring 27 Minneapolis' batters in order. The score was 6 to 0. After the game, the husky. 6 foot 2«4 Inch pitcher remained in Kansas City for an arm operation while hi* teammates left on a northern swing of the circuit. In other games, Columbus took both ends of a double header from Indianapolis, 9 to 1 and 3 to 2, Toledo beat Ixntlsvllle. 8 to 6. and Milwaukee defeated St. Paul, 3 to 2.
