The old truism that it doesn't evidence again this year. For some reason no one has yet been able to explain, pitch- ing a no-hitter in the major leagues has become a jinx. Too often it has been a one- day high in the pitcher's career and has been followed by mis- fortune, sometimes by tragedy. Billy Monbouquette, Boston's erratic righthander, pitched his no-hitter--the fourth in the ma- jors this season--only Wednes. day last week.

On April 39, 1940, Tex Carleton pitched a no-hit- ter for Brooklyn. The next year he was toiling at Montreal in the International League. In 194i, Lon Warneke hurled a no- hitter for St. Louis. He was sold was through the following year, Jim Tobin pitched a no-hitter for Boston's Braves in 1944 and was waived out of the league the next year, his last in the big leagues. The same year Clyde Shoun pitched a no-hitter for Cincinnati and won only one of seven decisions in 1945. Of the eight pitchers who hurled no - hitters from 1945 through 1948 only Bob Lemon and Bob Feller of Cleveland were able to escape the unfor- tunate post-effeets. Dick Fowler turned in a 1-0 no - hitter for Philadelphia Athletics in 1945) and appeared on his way to} real pitching greatness. Then he developed a sore arm afd) faded out of the leagues at age) 30. Ed Head became the toast of Flatbush with no - hit con- quest for Brooklyn against the Braves in 1946. The next spring he was shipped down to the minors for good. BLACKWELL A VICTIM | All three no - hit pitchers of 194" were overtaken by . dis- aster. Ewell Blackwell was looked upon as a wonder pitcher when he registered 220 victo- ries, and missed by two outs matching Johnny Vander Meer's two consecutive no-hit- ters, Adversity caught up with Blackie quickly, however, He soon suffered arm trouble and general ill health. Following his; no-hit year, he won only seven) in '48 and five in 49, He made something of a comeback after undergoing surgery for the re- moval of a kidney, but he slumped again in 1952.
