 | Gift Whips St. Louis, 2-0 Saturday, September 22nd , 1917 The St. Louis Pioneers were almost helpless in their 2-0 loss to the New York Gothams and hurler Tom Gift. Gift kept the Pioneers confused all game, spinning a 5-hit shutout. "Tip your hat to Gift," St. Louis manager Joe Whitcomb said in a postgame interview. "He kept us off balance all night." The 30-year-old right-hander had 4 walks and 6 strikeouts in a strong performance. "It just happened to be one of those games where even when I made mistakes, they either fouled them off or someone would make a fine defensive play," Gift said. "It was just one of those games that things went my way." So far this season, Gift has a 24-10 record, 37 starts, 308.1 innings, 131 strikeouts and a 1.78 ERA.
