GAME REPORT:
Patsy Flaherty shutouts Brooklyn. George Browne had 2 base hits at Washington
Park where the Boston Doves beat the Brooklyn Superbas by the score of 5 to 0.
Flaherty (1-0) looked very much in control throughout the day. He didn't give
up much, just 5 hits and 2 walks in 9 innings. Boston banged out 11
hits on the afternoon. One of those hits was a two out triple by Flaherty.
Kaiser Wilhelm(0-1) took the loss. He gave up 11 hits and 3 walks in 9
innings.
Notes on Patsy Flaherty from SABR Bio Project
Flaherty was the most famous of the early practitioners of the no-wind-up, “quick pitch” delivery in which he returned the ball to the catcher as soon as he received it in an attempt deceive the hitter and disrupt his timing. He also had excellent control for a lefty and was very good at holding runners on base “probably the best there ever was in this respect.” It was said Flaherty would walk batters on purpose just for the fun of picking them off.
It is interesting to note that Flaherty had a balk in today's game.In the 1950s, Casey Stengel was managing two Yankee pitchers, Bob Turley and Don Larsen, who also pitched with a no-windup delivery. This caused Casey to recall facing Flaherty more than 50 years earlier. He described his pitching this way, “He took no windup and you never knew when he was going to throw the ball. A master of quick pitches. There was no rule forcing pitchers to come to a full stop. Patsy picks up the ball and you hear the umpire holler strike. The quick, no-windup pitch is called a Patsy Flaherty. As I was digging in, I had no idea the man was ready to pitch.”

Wagner Signs
From Sporing Life April 25 1908
Wagner Signs Yields to the entreaties of President Pulliam, of the National League, and President Dreyfuss, and Reports for 1908 Season.
Pittsburgh April 17. Hans Wagner, the world's greatest ball player, this evening attached his name to a Pittsburgh contract, and at 9:30 tonight left for Cincinnati in personal charge of President Dreyfuss, who announced that the big fellow would be in the opening game of the Pittsburgh team there tomorrow. It is understood that for some days past Wagner has been wavering, and this afternoon he sent word that he would be in the office of the Pittsburgh Baseball Club between 5 and 6 o'clock, -at a time when there was little chance of newspaper men being on hand. President Dreyfuss, in company with President Pulliam, of the National League, met THE BIG SHORT STOP at the appointed time, and in a few minutes it was all over. Harry Smith, the Massilon John Wagner (Ohio) catcher, who went to "his home some days ago without signing his contract, also sent word that he would accept terms and would meet the team at Cincinnati. President Harry Pulliam was in attendance at the conference and induced Wagner to sign. It is understood that one of the conditions imposed by the big fellow tonight was that nothing would be said about his signing, that he would be allowed to rush to Cincinnati quietly and surprise all the gang there on their arrival tomorrow morning to open the game. , For this reason Wagner was not seen before he left, he being hurried to the train by Mr. Dreyfuss.
TERMS SECRET.
There is no telling what terms were reached between Dreyfuss and the big shortstop. Wagner weakened the first day of the season is known. He was at Cambridge Springs, 100 miles above Pittsburgh, when the game opened, and he had difficulty in finding the scores that night. Next, morning Hans was waiting for the daylight train to carry him. out of Cambridge Springs to Pittsburgh or some point where he could at least hear scores the same night games were played. He grew brave as he neared Pittsburgh, and on arriving told Dreyfuss he would not sign no, not in a million years. But he did tonight.

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.
