P George Taylor (29-3.9) of the New York Gothams has died. All the authorities are saying was that it was an accident. But since they are not forthcoming with details and Taylor has lost 10 games in a row after starting the season 13-8, speculation abounds that he committed suicide. Two deaths of active players in less than a week! They say misfortune always comes in three's, so who will be next?

Grand National Association Games:
Milwaukee (2) at Providence (3): Wes Wright (30-5.7) (2-0) over Tom Washam (31-6.1) (16-24). Wright allowed 5 hits, walked 1 and struck out 3. With his bat, he had 2 hits with a double and scored a run. Washam allowed 4 hits, 2 walks and struck out 6. He also hit a double. He has lost 4 of his last 5 starts.

Louisville (3) at Kansas City (4): Joe Osborne (26-3.0) (6-17) over Ed Sharp (29-5.5) (14-17). Osborne allowed 9 hits, no walks and struck out no one. At bat, he had 2 hits and an RBI. Sharp allowed 11 hits, 1 walk and struck out 2. RF Abe Purcell (29-2.8) had 2 hits, stole a base, scored a run and had an RBI.
