Billy Pierce(14-10) was on top of his game in Philadelphia as he tossed a
beauty of a no-hitter against the league door-mat Philadelphia A's.  The St.
Louis Cardinals won by a score of 4 to 0.

Pierce had overwhelming stuff tonight.  He simply never gave the Philadelphia
batters a decent pitch to drive.  He walked 2 Philadelphia batters.  The St.
Louis players and coaches started to leave Pierce alone with his thoughts
after the game reached the 7th inning.  By the time the 9th inning rolled
around, you could hear a pin drop every time he went to his wind-up - and an
explosion after every out.  St. Louis rapped out 7 hits for the night.

Murry Dickson(9-15) suffered the loss.  'Pierce pitched one heck of a game!'
Rene said.  'He didn't get away with any bad pitches because he just didn't
throw any bad pitches.  What a performance!'
