Brooklyn hurler Nap Rucker loses a no-hitter with two outs in the 9th inning when Cincinnati’s Bob Bescher comes through with a hit.

The Cincinnati Reds swap Fred Beck, last year’s co-leader in homers in the National League, to the Philadelphia Phillies, and include Bill Burns with him. The Phils send Bert Humphries to the Reds.
