Detroit Wolverines (59-29 .670 1st place in the Liberty League) at
Philadelphia Keystones (36-52 .409 23 GB in 8th place)
William McLeod, Det. (27-5.6) (R 17-14 2.82 7.3-2.9-6.3 H-BB-K/9) vs. Ted Ryther, Phil. (32-4.3) (L 12-23 3.53 9.3-2.6-3.9)
The wind is blowing out to left at 20 MPH, so McLeod will probably allow a dozen home runs today.
Won - 5 to 2 in 12 innings
No one could take advantage of the wind today and that is just fine by me.
McLeod allowed 5 hits, 2 walks and struck out 10.
Ryther gave us 11 hits, no walks and struck out 5.
We made 2 errors and Philadelphia made 6.
