Any info on pitcher named "Hedgepeth"
I hope this is the correct place but whilst picking up a no hitter newspaper from the bay, I noticed this ad for a newspaper from 1913 featuring Matty but on the bottom of the pictured portion of the newspaper is a head line that reads as you can see "Hedgepeth pitches second no-hit no-run ball game". Being interested in nono's I tried to look up this "Hedgepeth" to no avail. Can anyone here enlighten me?

Did a quick search on Baseball Reference and found. (I'm not even sure if this is the right Hedgpeth)

According to Baseball reference, Harry Hedgpeth (note spelling) tossed a no-hitter for Petersburg vs. Roanoke in a Virginia League game on 8-2-1913.

Ah, the spelling error. Thank you for the quick response. I figured he was a minor league pitcher. Surprising he didn't make it to the majors.

On the list referenced his name is spelled Hedgepeth for the second no-hitter. Which spelling is correct, I do not know.

Total side note but his great something grandson was the G.M at the Country Club I work at until he left last year. He was a pretty good college pitcher in his own right.

Amazing
Thought that I knew more than the average when it comes to no-no pitchers but even for a minor leaguer this is amazing. This pitcher Hedgepeth threw a no-no then two weeks later throws a double header (feat in it's self imo), allowed one hit in the first game and a no-no the second game. I still wonder why he didn't go big in the majors...

Looks like Clark Griffith had an issue with him... From a newspaper in Oct 1913.
