KAHLER NO – HITS RED SOX IN STUNNING SENATORS VICTORY
By Arthur H. Leland, Sporting Times
May 30th 1911

Rookie right-hander George Kahler has endured a turbulent introduction to major-league baseball, entering today’s contest with a modest mark of 2–5 and a bloated 4.81 earned run average. But at Washington Park this afternoon, the young man delivered a masterpiece—no-hitting the Boston Red Sox in a commanding 9–1 Senators triumph. The victory lifts Washington to 20–22 on the year and may well mark a turning point in the rookie’s early career.

Kahler’s effort was a picture of steady poise. Though he yielded four walks and was undermined by two defensive errors that allowed Boston’s lone run to cross, the Red Sox could not muster a single clean blow off the youngster. Kahler worked the full nine innings, allowing no hits and no earned runs, while fanning eight. His ERA drops to 4.31, and his record now stands at 3–5.

The Senators’ bats made certain their rookie hurler never had to look over his shoulder, posting a strong early lead and continuing to press the advantage in what became a comfortable 9–1 margin.

A modest but proud Kahler spoke after the game. “I’m still learning my way in this league,” he said, “but today everything felt right. I just focused on putting the ball where I wanted it. The errors and walks kept me on edge, but the fellows backed me all the way. It’s a fine feeling.”

Manager Chase Stone praised his young pitcher’s composure. “For a rookie who’s had his share of rough outings, this was a remarkable display of control and courage,” Stone remarked. “George stayed settled from the first pitch to the last. If he builds on this, he’ll be a cornerstone for us.”

For Washington, it was a day to savor—one that may herald the arrival of a promising new arm in the capital.
