Athletics, Ames Blank New York, 6-0 | The New York Black Yankees had no answer today for Kansas City Athletics pitcher Red Ames. They failed to score a single run against him, losing 6-0. New York managed only 4 hits off Ames, who had 9 strikeouts.
The extraordinarily popular Ames got a standing ovation from the hometown crowd as he left the field, the applause continuing until he returned from the dugout to tip his cap to the crowd.
"Athletics fans are the best fans, in my opinion," he said. "It's a great feeling to throw a shutout under any circumstances but to do it with the crowd behind you like that is just incredible."
