- <p> DIED. Floyd ("Bill") Bevens, 75, New York Yankees pitcher who
- came within one put-out away from pitching the first no-hit game
- in World Series history; of lymphoma; in Salem, Ore. In Game 4
- of the 1947 series against the Brooklyn Dodgers, Cookie
- Lavagetto spoiled Bevens' bid with a two-run double off the
- outfield wall to win the game 3-2. Though the Yankees went on to
- win the Series, Bevens suffered a dead arm. Neither he nor
- Lavagetto ever appeared in a regular season game again.
