The Pirates’ Elmer Steele throws just 72 pitches in subduing the Dodgers, 9 – 0. Steele gives up no walks and has no strikeouts, and allows just one hit – a one-out 9th-inning single to light-hitting Tex Erwin. Brooklyn so admires the feat they obtain him on September 16th, but he never wins another game in the majors.
