The Chicago Traders shut out the St. Louis Explorers 7-0 today behind the strong pitching of Dave Keen. Keen surrendered only 6 hits in recording the complete-game victory, and struck out 5.

Following the last out, Keen appeared to celebrate a little too boisterously for St. Louis manager Patrick Davey, who could be seen scolding the famously outspoken right-hander as the clubs left the field. Keen's own manager then intervened with some words for his counterpart.

The Explorers skipper would not comment on the exchange, but at the Traders press conference, Keen confirmed that it was regarding the celebration.

"He basically told me I was being a lousy winner," Keen said.

"And I told him he was being a lousy loser," Chicago manager Winston Tinker added.

In 21 starts this season, Keen has picked up 15 wins while suffering 5 losses. He has pitched 164.2 innings, allowed 134 hits, struck out 78 and posted a 2.95 ERA.
