Default 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)

I am unable to find anything else

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.

On the same list ten days later 8/12/13 Hedgepeth threw his second no hitter for Petersburg.

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.

Just a footnote.

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.

Default 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...

It's just a guess but perhaps his studies took up his time. He returned to the minors for a third straight year in the Virginia League (Class C). He was not the big winner he had been previously, slumping from 21 wins to just 9 and dropping his innings pitched, 284 to 165. Baseball-Reference.Com lists Harry Hedgpeth as attending Medical College of Virginia (Richmond, VA) and University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (Chapel Hill, NC). If he graduated UNC and was attending medical school in the off-season, at 25 years old he may have simply decided to pass up baseball for medicine.

I never pitched in medical school either except for tossing a few gallstones in the surgeon's lounge.

Looks like Clark Griffith had an issue with him...
