Kellner Hurls One Hit Victory Over Senators
Alex Kellner was named in honor of Grover Cleveland Alexander, and it looks like he may have inherited the "no hit jinx" which plagued that immortal pitcher.
By UNITED PRESS
Certainly there seemed to be a fate working against the crafty Kellner last night when he allowed only an eighth-inning, two-out single by weak-hitting Wayne Terwilliger in hurling the Philadelphia Athletics to a 7 to 0 triumph over the Senators under the arc lights in Washington.
The great Alexander, National league pitching star of the '10's and '20's, reaped just about every kind of baseball glory there is—except a no-hitter. "Old Pete" hurled one-hitters galore; in fact in 1915 alone he tossed four of them for an all-time record. But always the elusive no-hitter slipped through his fingers.
Southpaw Kellner was on the verge of succeeding where the great Alexander failed when Tervillier, only a 252 hitter last season and the No. 8 batter in the Senators' lineup, came to the plate in the eighth.
The 29-year-old Athletics veteran had retired 15 straight batters and seemed to be getting stronger as he went aloerg. But, with the count two balls and one strike. Terwilliger stepped into a fast ball and lashed it cleanly into a center field for a single.
Kellner, whose baseball-conscious father also named Alex' brother Wait (now a pitcher in the A's farm system) in honor of Walter Johnson, got the next batter to hit into a forceout and thus salvaged the distinction of not allowing a single Senators' runner to reach second base. He walked three batters and struck out six.
Vic Power, outfielder obtained from the Yankees during the winter, led the Athletics' 11-hit assault on four Washington pitchers with a pair of doubles that drove in four runs. Chuck Stobbs was the starter and loser for the Senators.
In other night games, the Philadelphia Philss whipped the Brooklyn Dodgers, 6-3, and the Cincinnati Reds outshopped the St. Louis Cards, 13-6, leaving the Philss and Reds tied for first place in the National league. In day games, the New York Giants downed the Pittsburgh Pirates, 6-2, and the Chicago White Sox beat the Detroit Tigers, 7-2. The Braves and Cubs were rained out and the other clubs were not scheduled.
Murry Dickson, age 37, gained his second win for the Phils despite surrendering bases-empty honors to Gil Hodges and Pee Wee Reese. Preacher Rees, age 38, started for the Dodgers, gave up three runs in the third and was kayed by Del Ennis' two-run homer in the fifth that proved the deciding margin.
Andy Seminick, Gus Bell, and Wally Post pounded homers for the Reds in their 16-hit attack on four Card pitchers. Rookie Wally Moon homered for the Cards, but Red reliever Joe Nuxhall easily gained his second win.
Southpaw Johnny Antonelli survived his own wildness and a line drive rapped off his ribs by rookie Bob Skinner to beat the Pirates.

IT'S 1957 ON REPUBLIC'S DRAWING BOARDS
Visionary Young Engineers Work Years Ahead on Jet Fighter-Bomber Design...
There's drama on the drawing boards at Republic!
A great new jet fighter-bomber is being created, years ahead of its time. Like its famous predecessors, it will be the product of young men of vision, working in an atmosphere encouraging individual initiative.
For, Republic has long believed that its engineers are creative men who cannot be cast into a mold and still maintain the individuality and imagination that are the lifestream of aviation. At Republic, the ability and creativity of the engineer thrives on a diet of challenging assignments that permit him to probe and express new ideas.
This approach has been notably successful. Since 1931, Republic has been a leader in the aircraft industry, and today employs over 27,000 people, with an engineer ratio of 1 to 8. From the first,
all-metal plane to the famous Thunderbolts, Thunderjets, and Thunderstreaks, Republic planes have been pace-setters in aviation. And Republic engineers, sharing in this success, are at the peak of their profession, earning top pay in industry.
Republic engineers know, too, the pleasures of good living. Centrally located on Long Island, with its model suburban communities and abundance of year-round recreational facilities, Republic is less than an hour from New York City and its unparalleled cultural and entertainment attractions.
For further information concerning our training programs, which prepare graduate engineers for positions in aircraft engineering or manufacturing supervision, please write directly to your special Republic representative, Mr. Charles J. Ketson, Employment Manager,
Farmingdale, Long Island, New York
