In an afternoon game called because of unusual darkness, Giants’ pitcher Red Ames, making his major league debut, tosses a five-inning no-hitter against the Cardinals. The New York right-hander, who will also no-hit the Superbas on Opening Day in 1909 before yielding a single with one out in the tenth, will have both of his no-hit bids discounted after the 1991 change of rules no longer give credit for no-hit performances in games played for less than nine innings or for contests where the first hit is given up in extra innings.

On September 14, 1903 — The Giants take the opener of a doubleheader in St. Louis, 8 – 2.  In an afternoon game called because of unusual darkness and an impending storm, Giants’ pitcher Red Ames, making his major league debut, tosses a five-inning no-hitter against the Cardinals striking out 7. The New York right-hander, who will also no-hit the Superbas on Opening Day in 1909 before yielding a single with one out in the tenth, will have both of his no-hit bids discounted after the 1991 change of rules no longer give credit for no-hit performances in games played for less than nine innings or for contests where the first hit is given up in extra innings.

Ames will have a 17-year career
