Rucker Hurls Senators to Shutout Victory
Nap Rucker hurled nothing but zeros at the Philadelphia Athletics in an impressive outing at Shibe Park today. The Washington pitcher allowed 6 hits, fanned 5 and walked 3 in blanking Philadelphia, 6-0.

"There were a lot of frustrated guys walking back to the dugout today," Philadelphia manager Dave Jackson said. "Not a fun day."
