Omaha Mutuals (49-17 .742 1st place in the Grand National Association) at
Philadelphia Quakers (43-23 .652 6 GB in 2nd place)
Two games in Philly against manager Chuck Payne (42-5.9) and his Quakers. We are 4-2 against them on the season. We swept them in 3 games at our place the last time we met, which was in the 3rd week of May. The Quakers are currently 2nd in scoring with 6.4 per game, only .02 behind the leader, Chicago (Omaha is up to #7 with 5.2). They are 5th in runs allowed with 5.0 per game (Omaha is still #1 at 3.5). Their Jefferson Street Grounds is a tough place to hit the ball out of, but is otherwise a good place to bat.
In the month of July, Sprague had an ERA of 3.00 and he allowed 9.0 hits per 9 innings. Tom Lee, on the other hand, had an ERA of 1.38 and allowed 5.6 hits per 9.
