Tuesday August 1 at St. Louis Brown Stockings (24-26 6th place in the Liberty League)

Abe Lowe, Troy (27 R 18-19 2.26) vs. John Bailey, St. L. (27 R 3-9 3.68)

Lost: 6 to 2

Once again, a pitcher that everybody else is whoopin' up shuts us down. We managed 6 measly hits. Once again, Abe Lowe was the star hitter with 2 singles. Once again, we out-errored a horrible fielding team. Good news is that ss Emil Moore, our choice out of Spring Training to be the starter, is finally healed up and will immediately be inserted in the lineup. Of course, we don't expect him to do much.... Enoch Polm and his .202 average and .850 fielding percentage will head to Rochester.

Other doin's:
Baltimore (3) at Boston (6): Joe Phelps (4-3) over Miller Bullock (11-18). Bullock held the Red Caps to only 7 hits; the loss is not his fault. Boston did not have an RBI in the game. rf Bill Enright had another multi-hit game with a pair of singles. It's his 4th one on the last 5 games. The only one he did not get at least 2 hits in was that 20-inning affair, where he went 0 for 9!

Detroit (7) at Washington (6) in 17 innings: John Walker (13-11) over Pete Tyson (16-19). Walker went 16 innings before departing for pinch-hitter Jack Liken who doubled home a run. Tyson went the whole 17 innings. 2b Connie Frost had 5 hits for Detroit.

New York (8) at Philadelphia (5): Harry Mays (23-13) over Paul Skinner (22-14). Mays had 2 hits and scored 3 times. 3b Joe Carter had a double and 4 hits in defeat for Philly. New York won their 7th in a row and have moved to within a game of the Centennials with 19 to play.

Down in Rochester, ss Marty Rodgers went 0 for 5 to drop his International Association batting average to .180.
