Brooklyn fans certainly got their money's worth at Washington Park.  Bill
Graham(1-0) pitched a rare no-hitter as the Brooklyn Superbas toppled the
Cleveland Naps 8 to 0.

Graham had an afternoon to remember.  Heck, it's one we'll all remember! What
a game at Washington Park! He walked 5 Cleveland batters.  What a day for the
fans.  They were on the edge of their seats from the 7th inning on.  With
every out, the electricity in the air mounted.  Brooklyn finished with 12
hits in the victory.  

Bill Burns(0-1) was given the loss.  He was hit hard and gave up 12 hits and 2
walks in 7 and 2/3 innings.  'Not in my wildest dreams did I think this would
happen!' Graham said as he stood at home plate to salute the fans.  'Once I
got into the later innings, I decided to challenge every hitter, and that
turned out to be the right decision!'
