Rochester Jingoes (25-75 .250 39 GB in 8th place in the Liberty League) at
Detroit Wolverines (63-37 .630 1 GB in 2nd place)

We begin a 4 game series with manager John Burton (46-3.6) and his Jingoes today. We are 10-2 against them so far this season. We swept them 4 games in Rochester 2 months ago the last time we met. They are last in scoring with 3.7 runs per game (Detroit is 5th with 4.8). They are last in runs allowed with 5.8 per game (Detroit is #1 with 3.8). Anything less than a sweep would have to be viewed as a disappointment.

Bill McClean, Roch. (40-6.0) (R 9-43 3.18 9.5-2.8-2.8 H-BB-K/9) vs. William McLeod, Det. (26-5.6) (R 33-13 1.98 6.6-2.8-4.4)

Lost - 4 to 0

This is definitely a disappointment, to say the least.

McClean sat down the first 12 Wolverines to go to the plate. It's the first time he has beaten us after taking 6 losses.

In 8 innings, McLeod allowed 5 hits, 3 walks and struck out 2.

Zenas Keough (24-4.5) pitched a 1-2-3 9th.

McClean gave us 3 hits, no walks and struck out 4.

Each team made 2 errors.

LF Ben Smith (26-6.7) led off the 5th with a triple, but twisted his ankle sliding into third and will miss about a week. I thought, well at least we are getting the offense started, but the next 3 batters just made outs and left the runner at third. I am starting to think we are not suppose to win the Liberty League this year.

Liberty League:
Troy (4) at Cleveland (2): Miah Turner (24-5.3) (26-23) over Willis Kornfield (32-6.0) (26-23). Turner allowed 4 hits, no walks and struck out 5. Kornfield allowed 7 hits, 1 walk and struck out 7. At bat, he had a hit and an RBI. 2B Joe Henry (33-9.2) had 2 hits and scored 2 runs.

Boston (3) at Washington (1): Charlie Morlock (36-6.7) (19-11) over Lou Townley (23-3.4) (26-28). Morlock allowed 9 hits, 1 walk and struck out 7. At bat, he had a hit and a walk. Townley allowed 8 hits, 2 walks and struck out 2.

New York (4) at Cincinnati (8): John Stevens (28-8.2) (30-18) over Jack Roberts (33-6.1) (2-4). Stevens allowed 6 hits, 2 walks and struck out 3. At bat, he had a hit. 2B Jumbo Lynn (25-3.8) had 3 hits with a triple, stole a base, scored 3 runs and had an RBI.

Grand National Association:
Chicago (4) at Brooklyn (1): Pete Rinehart (26-6.2) (23-26) over Al Green (22-3.8) (15-13). Rinehart allowed 9 hits, 1 walk and struck out 5. At bat, he hit a double, drew a walk and had an RBI. Green allowed 7 hits, 1 walk and struck out 10. He lost his 5th in a row, with 4 of them being well-pitched games. 1B Tommy Casale (25-3.7) hit a double and a triple and scored 2 runs.

Pittsburgh (10) at Baltimore (2): Tom Lilly (25-6.4) (36-17) over Pop Yurkovich (33-5.6) (18-35). Lilly allowed 9 hits, 1 walk and struck out no one. Lilly leads the GNA in strikeouts, but this was the 2nd game in a row where he did not strikeout anyone. 1B Dan White (25-5.1) had 4 hits, stole a base, scored 2 runs and knocked in 3.

Providence (8) at Milwaukee (2): Frank McSherry (30-4.1) (20-21) over Dan Burton (30-4.9) (28-35). McSherry allowed 3 hits, 4 walks and struck out 3. Burton allowed 10 hits, 1 walk and struck out 2. He has lost 8 of his last 9. RF John Froom (37-6.2) had 2 hits with his 2nd home run of the year, scored twice and had 2 RBIs. LF Charlie Gregor (26-5.2) hit a 3-run home run.
