The painful truth about no- hlt, no-run pitching is just not to pitch them.

Since 1940. 32 pitchers have hurled no-hitters and more than half of them were either sold or released outright the next year, or were stricken by injury or illness that forced them out of baseball s h o rtly after their greatest achievement. - i

No-hit pitchers still active in the majors include Warren Spahn. Lew Burdette. Don Card- well. Sam Jones. Jim Bunning. Hoyt Wilhelm. Belinsky. Wilson and Koufax.

The no-hit jilnx was especi- ally active in the years between 1940 and 1957. On April 39. i940. Tcx Carleton pitched a no-hit-

in ’. in 1941. Lou Warneke hurled a no- hltater for St. Louis. He was sold to the Chlcago Cubs in '42 and was through the following year. Jim Tobin pitched a no-hitter for Boston's ,Braves in i944 and was waived out of the league the next year. his last in the big leagues. The same year Clyde Shaun pitched a no-hitter for Cincinnati and won only one of seven decisions in 1945.

through 1948 only Bob Lemon and Bob Feller of Cleveland were able to escape the unfor- tunate post-effects. Dick Fowlerv turned in a 1-0 no - hitter r Philadelphia Athletics in 1945 and appeared o
