Keefe(21-6) was simply too much for the Cleveland batters. He didn't give up much, just 2 hits and 4 walks in 9 innings. The right-handed Keefe lost his no-hit bid when Cub Stricker tripled with two outs in the 6th inning. Offensively, New York was a juggernaut. They scored in 6 separate innings. Henry Gruber(4-7) was charged with the loss. He gave up 9 runs and 9 hits in 9 innings. Tom Loftus lamented, 'Keefe was really aggressive today. He kept coming after our hitters. Heck, why not. he kept sitting our guys down one after another - like so many bowling pins!'
