Detroit Wolverines (54-33 .621 2 GB in 2nd place in the Liberty League) at
Cleveland Spiders (44-43 .506 12 GB in 5th place)

I sent for 1B/OF Jim Oman (24-5.8) to come back from Syracuse until CF Fred Bianco (26-6.9) is ready to play again.

Ed Bush, Det. (25-5.3) (R 7-7 2.40 6.9-3.6-5.6 H-BB-K/9) vs. Willis Kornfield, Clev. (32-6.0) (R 22-19 2.86 8.8-2.8-3.8)

Lost - 4 to 3

3 runs again!!

Bush allowed 7 hits, 2 walks and struck out 2. At bat, he had a hit and scored a run.

Kornfield gave us 8 hits, 3 walks and struck out 5.

We made 4 errors and Cleveland made 3. We have 21 errors in our last 5 games.

PH Jackie Porter (31-6.3) hit a 2-run pinch-hit double. I wish I could get him into the regular lineup, but he can only play right and left and both those spots are manned by good players. The only option would be to move my Gold Glover from right field and put him in center or at first, where he is not special and Porter is not good on defense, so he will have to be satisfied with pinch-hit duties and an occasional start. 2B Jocko Cole (23-6.1) had 2 hits with a triple but made 2 errors. LF Ben Smith (26-6.9) hit a double and drew a walk and scored a run. 1B Spider Thomas (29-4.6) had 2 hits and an RBI.

Liberty League:
Troy (5) at Rochester (3): Miah Turner (24-5.3) (22-19) over William Rose (34-4.9) (10-19). Turner allowed 8 hits, 3 walks and struck out 2. Rose allowed 10 hits, 1 walk and struck out 1. At bat, he had 2 hits and an RBI. SS Bill Lawson (29-6.9) had 3 hits with a double, but no runs or RBIs. The losing streak reached 17.

Cincinnati (7) at Washington (5): John Stevens (28-8.2) (25-16) over Bill Crawford (27-7.2) (1-1). Stevens allowed 7 hits, no walks and struck out 4.

LF Fleet Wilcox (28-4.9) had 3 hits with a double and a walk, stole 2 bases, scored 2 runs and had an RBI. 1B Joe Vaughan (30-5.2) had 2 hits with a double and 3 RBIs.
