Bob Lemon(16-10) was on top of his game in Brooklyn as he tossed a beauty of a
no-hitter against the Brooklyn Dodgers.  The Detroit Tigers won by a score of
3 to 0.

Lemon had an evening to remember.  He walked 4 Brooklyn batters. What an
evening 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.  The Brooklyn
batters went down meekly in the bottom of the 9th.  

Curt Simmons(7-10) took the loss.  He gave up 9 hits and 1 walk in 8 and 2/3
innings.  Lemon was in a jubilant mood after the game.  'If I'd known I was
going to throw a no hitter I would have gotten a haircut!' he said, much to
the delight of the clubhouse gathering.
