Athletics Hurler Smith Tosses Masterpiece
Sunday, July 20th, 1941
Eddie Smith led the Philadelphia Athletics to a 3-0 shutout victory over the Chicago White Sox at Comiskey Park today.

"My pitching coach told me before the game just to bear down and focus," Smith recalled later. "He said no one was going to hit me if I'm throwing a good breaking ball with good location."

Smith yielded 4 hits and had 4 strikeouts and no walks in the standout performance.

"I thought he put the ball where he wanted to," Chicago manager said. "And that's just about the whole secret to pitching."

Over the season Smith has thrown 119.2 innings and dished out 52 strikeouts with a 5-11 mark and a 3.99 ERA.
