Continental League Games April 24th

The Model Ts triumphed again over their Nashville counterparts by a narrow 4-3 margin.  Once again, Detroit received a strong performance from their moundsman, Don Drysdale who yielded only a single earned run in his complete game victory, running his record to 3-0.  The Model Ts scored 4 runs, making the most of only 5 hits.  Once again, Detroit second sacker Charlie Gehringer was in the middle of things, drawing two walks in addition to his single, scoring 2 of Detroit's 4 runs.  Frank Wickware made his first appearance for his new team, pitching one scoreless inning in relief and striking out one.  Wickware had been traded while on the DL from Detroit to Nashville in exchange for Bob Lemon.  The Cattle Barons took another one on a cold and wet day in Cincinnati.  The field was in poor shape, and this redounded to the benefit of the hurlers as KC won a 2-1 contest.  Robin Roberts struck on 7 in 7 1/3 innings, and Cincinnati pitchers totaled 10 between them.  Despite bad weather in Chicago, the River Captain and White Bears locked horns.  River Captains starter Bill Holland had a no-hitter going in the fifth when he slipped fielding a bunt, and strained his ankle, having to leave the game.  The White Bears prevailed 1-0, with Old Hoss Radbourne getting a shutout.
