Detroit Wolverines (6-4 .600 2 GB in 3rd place in the Liberty League) at
New York Gothams (4-6 .400 4 GB tied for 5th place)

We begin a 2 game set against manager Ed Lanham (50-5.3) and his Gothams today. They are 2nd in the league in runs scored with 6.2 per game (Detroit is now 6th with 4.2). They are last by a mile in runs allowed with 8.8 per game (Detroit is now tied for 2nd with 3.9). The Polo Grounds is not the easiest place to hit home runs, but it gives up base hits a lot more often than anywhere else in the league.

Shearin gets the start today, just because McLeod and Anderson are both still feeling the effects of their last outings.

Tommy Shearin, Det. (27-5.7) (R 0-0 0.00 5.4-3.6-3.6 H-BB-K/9) vs. Count Childs, N.Y. (29-3.1) (R 2-3 4.85 10.8-2.5-4.6)

Lost - 12 to 7

They pummeled Shearin for 4 innings and then he shut them out after that, but maybe they were just too tired from running around the bases so much.

Shearin allowed 16 hits, 1 walk and struck out no one.

We had 10 hits and made 5 errors, 3 of them by C Evan Eckberg (29-3.5), whom I am quickly tiring of. New York made 6 errors.

LF Joe Kraus (28-7.9) had 2 hits and scored a run. 1B Harley Becker (31-6.8) hit 3 doubles, scored 2 runs and had 3 RBIs.

For the Gothams, P Count Childs had 2 hits, scored a run and had 3 RBIs. RF Ed Glass (25-4.5) had 4 hits with 2 triples, stole a base, scored 2 runs and had 4 RBIs.

Liberty League:
Cleveland (8) at Rochester (3): Willis Kornfield (32-6.0) (5-2) over William Rose (34-4.9) (2-2). Kornfield allowed 6 hits, 1 walk and struck out 2. C Deacon Dubin (28-8.8) had 2 hits with a double and scored a run. RF John Bradbury (24-7.6) had 2 hits with a home run, stole a base and had 2 RBIs.

Washington (7) at Troy (5): Lou Townley (23-3.4) (3-3) over Sal DeVaux (30-3.5) (1-1). Townley allowed 10 hits, no walks and struck out 4. At bat, he had a hit and an RBI. DeVaux allowed 9 hits, 1 walks and struck out 4. At bat, he had a hit and an RBI. Washington scored 5 times in the top of the 9th to go ahead. RF Ted Steeves (23-4.2) had 2 hits with a 9th inning home run, his 2nd of the season, and had 2 RBIs. LF Kid Orr (26-5.6) also hit a 2-run 9th inning home run.

Cincinnati (7) at Boston (9): Joe Peters (29-4.9) (3-1) over John Stevens (28-8.2) (2-4). Peters allowed 10 hits, 5 walks and struck out 7. RF Dan Abrams (26-5.1) had 2 hits with a double, scored 2 runs and had 3 RBIs. C Kip Kraft (35-6.1) had 3 hits and 2 RBIs and threw out the only runner that attempted to steal a base.

Grand National Association:
Brooklyn (1) at Pittsburgh (2): Tom Adams (30-6.0) (6-2) over Dick Cole (31-5.9) (5-4). Adams allowed 1 hit (a lead-ff single in the 4th), 1 walk and struck out 3. Cole allowed 4 hits, 2 walks and struck out 2. SS Jim Ware (31-5.6) had 2 hits with a triple, scored a run and had an RBI.

Baltimore (6) at Providence (3): Sammy O'Quinn (23-5.9) (2-0) in relief of Pop Yurkovich (33-5.6) over Frank McSherry (29-4.1) (6-4). Yurkovich had to leave with a bruised thigh when McSherry beaned him in the 3rd inning. They say he should be fine in a week, if he doesn't pitch and lets it heal. But Yurky probably won't follow their advice. O'Quinn went 7 innings, allowed 4 hits, 1 walk and struck out 1. McSherry allowed only 4 hits, but walked 5 and struck out 4. Providence made 6 errors.

Omaha (9) at Kansas City (11) in 10 innings: Al McClaughry (21-5.6) (1-0) in relief of Hosea Alexander (36-4.8) over Sid Duncan (31-6.8) (2-6). McClaughry went 2 innings and only allowed 1 hit.
