Ed Reulbach took a no-hitter into the 7th inning at Palace of the Fans as the
Chicago Cubs beat the Cincinnati Reds by the count of 3 to 0.
 
Reulbach(1-0) was tremendous on the mound for Chicago.  He allowed just 1 hit
and 5 walks in 9 innings.  The right-handReulbach had his no-hit bid broken
up by Rudy Hulswitt who singled with two outs in the 7th inning.  Chicago
managed only 4 hits on the afternoon.  
 
Andy Coakley(0-1) suffered the loss.  'We didn't have a whole lot of chances
today,' Cincinnati's manager said.  'Reulbach just was too much for our
guys.'

Slagle had the first bit of offense in the cubs fourth with a base hit. He would later score on a ground ball off the bat of Schulte. Ruelbach didn't give the Reds much he did allow six walks but only allowed one Red to reach second base. The only hit was off the bat of hulswitt in the bottom of the seventh. One strikeout was all he needed to complete his first win of 1908. He looked very sharp. He will have surely make a start very soon as Mordecai Brown is still on family leave. The Cubs finish the series taking two from the Reds to open the season. Cubs board a train to St. Louis for three against the Red Birds before coming home for three against the Reds of Cincinnati.
