Boston Red Caps (70-40 .636 tied for 1st place in the Liberty League) at
Detroit Wolverines (70-40 .636 tied for 1st place)

I really have no choice in who to pitch today. Bush can go, but why would I want that? McLeod still is tuckered out. If Anderson shows weakness early, he will be pulled.

Joe Peters, Bos. (29-4.9) (L 38-14 2.17 7.6-2.6-5.9 H-BB-K/9) vs. Hank Anderson, Det. (32-7.7) (L 17-11 2.38 7.9-1.8-3.3)

Lost - 2 to 1

Anderson sat the Red Caps down in order in the top of the first and RF Joe Kraus (28-7.9) led off our half of the inning with a home run. That would be the last time we scored. We had several opportunities, but could never cash in. The last one was in the bottom of the 9th when C Evan Eckberg (29-3.5) led off with a single. I sent in Dusty Godwin to run for him. Godwin can't hit, but he can run and play defense, allegedly. CF Fred Bianco (26-6.9) bunted Godwin over to 2nd and then SS Russell Gardner (31-6.4) singled to left center and the game was tied, or so I thought. But Godwin was thrown out at the plate. That bum is now on a train to Syracuse and will never be in a Wolverine uniform again. Gardner went to second on the throw home and with 2 outs, we still had a chance, but P Hank Anderson was due up to bat and I had nothing but left-handed bats on the bench to face the best left-hander in baseball. I sent up Jackie Porter (31-6.3) hoping that maybe, but he struck out and the game was over.

Anderson allowed 9 hits, no walks and struck out 4.

Peters gave us 7 hits, walked 3 and struck out 5.

Each team made 1 error.

LF Ben Smith (26-6.7) hit a 1-out triple in the 5th, but did not score. C Evan Eckberg (29-3.5) had 2 hits with a double, but nothing to show for it. He is the hottest hitter on the team right now, going 11 for his last 26 (.423) with 5 extra-base hits. And 999 passed balls, but defensive specialist Joe Kotlyar (296.1) has 997, and is hitting .163. Eckberg has been good at throwing out base runners, leading the league with a 43.5% caught stealing rate. The actual passed ball count is 71, the 2nd most in the league. SS Russell Gardner (31-6.4) had 2 hits for the 2nd game in a row, one of them a double.

For the Red Caps, LF Charlie Warner (31-9.2) hit a 2-out RBI double in the 8th to give them the lead. Rookie CF Sal Griffin (22-5.0), playing in only his 8th major league game, had 3 hits.

Liberty League:
Rochester (3) at Cleveland (7): Jim Ludwig (25-4.6) (14-22) over William Rose (34-4.9) (10-25). Ludwig allowed 4 hits, 2 walks and struck out 3. At bat, he had 2 hits and an RBI. LF Martin Arnold (30-6.2) had 3 hits with a double, scored a run and had 2 RBIs. 2B John Dahlhauser (25-5.0) had 4 hits with a double, scored a run and had an RBI.

New York (3) at Washington (4) in 13 innings: Bill Crawford (27-7.2) (4-4) over Count Childs (29-3.1) (24-25). In 13 innings, Crawford allowed 9 hits, 2 walks and struck out 4. At bat, he had a hit. Childs allowed 9 hits, 2 walks and struck out 3. At bat, he had a hit and scored a run. The winning run scored on an error.

Troy (5) at Cincinnati (1): Harry Lamb (30-6.4) (27-18) over Bert Fischer (24-5.6) (5-4). Lamb allowed 7 hits, 1 walk and struck out 1. At bat, he walked twice.
