Kennedy Hurls Two-HifterTo Win For Giants New York, May 21—(UP)—After three long years, Montia Kennedy of the Giants has overcome the frightening experience of beaning a batter, and with all of his old confidence restored, he may become the club’s best left hander since the days of King Carl Hubbell. There’s a pitcher’s side, too, in all of this current furore over beaning of batters. As Kennedy can well attest. It was on a sultry Saturday in the Polo Grounds on May 25, 1946 when Kennedy, then a sparkling rookie, who had won his first two starts, was pitching a one-hitter against the Braves. In the sixth inning he accidentally beaned Johnny Hopp, now with the Dodgers, and although Hopp was not injured, Kennedy never forgot that moment. He walked the next three batters and was taken out and although he was credited with the victory he wasn’t the same thereafter. "For months I w’as actually afraid to throw hard for fear one of my pitches might take oft and hit a batter in the head," he said. “Then my arm began to bother me and so I just couldn’t make it until this season." The records bear him out. In the rest of the 1946 season he was knocked out of the box 16 times, losing nine games and winning but four. In 1947 he won nine and lost 12 and last year, after being sent down to Minneapolis, he returned and had a mediocre 3-9 mark with New York. Throughout, however, he has concentrated on his control and yesterday in a 5 to 0 two-hit, no-walks triumph over the Reds at Cincinnati he pitched the most nearly' perfect game of the season—easily the best of his career. He faced only 29 batters, only one man getting to second. In the third Ted Kluszewski singled and was doubled at second. In the fifth with one out Johnny Wyrostek was safe on an error and Jimmy Bloodworth singled him to second. But that was all tor the Reds. Kennedy retired the next 14 batters in order. His control mark is one of the best in the majors. With four victories and two defeats he has walked only 19 men in eight games, only a little more than two per game. The 26-year-old young man from Amelia, Va„ could well become the ace of the league at that rate. Bill Werle, the Pittsburgh Pirates’ red-hot rookie southpaw, chalked up his third win in a night game at Pittsburgh by beating the Boston Braves. 2 to 1. Werle gave up 10 hits but received fine support, especially in the ninth when the Braves loaded the bases with none out and failed to score.

The airfield was in operation up to yesterday by two Chinese airlines. the Chinese national avia- > tion corporation and the Central 1 air transport corporation. The two lines said they had halted all service when communist shells landed near the airport and machinegun fire was heard close at hand. Today’s reports also disclosed that communist guns across the Whangpoo lobbed four shells into the old French concession in southern Shanghai two. nights ago. One of the shells landed in a garden in a luxurious residential district. News of the shelling was at first veiled by martial law provisions, which prescribe death for spreading information that will excite the populace.
