Detroit Wolverines (6-4 .600 0.5 GB in 2nd place in the Liberty League) at
Cincinnati Reds (3-4 .429 2 GB in 6th place)

Lou Townley, Det. (25-3.4) (R 2-1 3.33 11.0-1.7-4.0 H-BB-K/9) vs. Charlie Branham, Cin. (27-4.2) (R 1-2 4.32 9.4-1.8-1.1)

The first time Townley faced the Reds, they knocked him around for 18 hits. He definitely is not throwing as hard as he was before the injury, but it is hard to tell whether it is the injury or the new pitching rules. Nobody is throwing as hard as they were last year since they have to keep a foot on the back line of the pitching box and cannot get a running start. But I think the injury has had an effect.

Won - 8 to 2

Townley allowed 8 hits, no walks and struck out no one. It is the first start of his career that he has not struck anyone out.

Branham gave us 14 hits, no walks and struck out 3.

We made 4 errors and Cincinnati made 5.
