Ted Lyons faces 21 different batters and loses no hitter in bottom of 9th

In the second game of a twinbill, the White Sox take a 15 – 0 lead against Washington after five innings, but Chicago P Ted Lyons will have to pitch to 18 different batters as Senators manager Bucky Harris juggles his lineup and sends in pinch-hitters. With a no-hitter going, Lyons continues to bear down. Finally, with two out in the 9th, Washington’s Bobby Veach gets a base hit to break the no-hitter. The final is 17 – 0 for Lyons with Tom Zachary taking the loss. Washington outfielder Sam Rice’s streak of nine hits in a row is stopped, but he will end the season with 182 singles, an American League record until 1980. Washington takes the opener, 3 – 2, behind Dutch Ruether.
