Default Alex Miles Main 1915 Federal League no-hitter ticket

I'm really happy to have added this super challenging 1915 Buffalo Blues Federal League full ticket to my advanced no-hit ticket collection.
It could have been used to any game in the 1915 season including the no-hitter that Alex Miles Main tossed against the Buffalo Blues on August 16th, 1915.


Miles Main was a RHP for the Federal League KC Packers team and he no-hit the Blues 6-0. He struck out 7 and only had 1 BB.
Main was a tall guy for the era: 6'5" and 195, an imposing looking pitcher for the early part of the 20th century.
He pitched for only a total of 3 years with the Detroit Tigers, Fed KC Packers and Pittsburgh Pirates in 1914, 1915 and 1918, respectively.
He won 21 total games and had a respectable 2.77 career ERA.

Here is a picture of the full ticket, a scarce signed index card and a game used win ball which I found about 10 years ago that was from one of the two wins that he had with the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1918. He gifted it to a close friend in Tawas City, MI. Miles was a career resident of Michigan.
