Omaha Mutuals (49-18 .731 1st place in the Grand National Association) at
Philadelphia Quakers (44-23 .657 5 GB in 2nd place)

In Milwaukee, P Alex Howison (34-6.6) stepped down as manager of the team. He had just finished pitching a victory and the team has won 3 in a row and 8 of their last 10. He claimed he did not care for the responsibility, but did not want to quit when things were going poorly and saddle his replacement with an onerous task. Owner Frank Pope (60-5.4) appointed CF Charles Hundley (28-5.3) as the temporary boss until he could make a deeper study of the situation.

Tom Lee, Omaha (26-6.0) (R 19-4 1.92 6.4-1.3-6.2 H-BB-K/9) vs. Tommy Shearin, Phil. (26-5.7) (R 5-1 2.22 6.5-1.0-5.3)
