Howell Twirls No-Hitter Against St. Louis
It was a fantastic day for New York Highlanders starter Harry Howell and a lousy day for the St. Louis Browns.
The New York hurler's pitching artistry completely befuddled and bewildered the Browns, as the Highlanders cruised to a 7-1 win. When it was all over, Howell was credited with one of the rarer feats in baseball -- a no-hitter.
"The ball was moving and darting and, best of all, going where I wanted it to go," Howell said later.
He rang up 6 strikeouts and allowed 5 walks while shutting St. Louis down at Hilltop Park.
For the season, Howell has a record of 24 wins and 12 losses in 39 appearances. He has an ERA of 2.45 and has fanned 163 batters in 327 innings.
New York Highlanders (88-57) over St. Louis Browns (73-72)
