On August 10, 1902, Cates pitched a notable minor league baseball no-hitter. On that date, the Nevada Lunatics and Jefferson City Convicts of the Class D Missouri Valley League played a game that resulted in a double no-hitter. Both Jefferson City's Jim Courtwright and Nevada's Eli Cates pitched no–hit games. Nevada won the game 1–0. A double no-hitter has happened just 10 times in baseball history, all at the minor league level.[1]
