History was made in St. Louis as Jim Perry(7-2) tossed a no-hitter and the
Kansas City Athletics defeated the St. Louis Cardinals by the score of 9 to
0.

Although disappointed to see the hometown team lose, the fans certainly were
appropriately impressed with the dominating, no-hit performance of Perry.  He
walked 2 St. Louis batters.  The tension started to build around the 6th
inning.  By the 9th inning the crowd was electrified.  Kansas City had a
total of 14 hits for the game.  

Don Lee(4-4) was hit with the loss.  He allowed 2 runs and 4 hits in 5 and 1/3
innings.  After the game, Perry was heard to say, 'This is something I have
dreamt about since I was a little boy - to have it come true is just
amazing!'
