I have sent Joe Kraus (30-7.9) to Syracuse to try to work out whatever is wrong with him. He has not hit all that well in either of the past two seasons, but he has played great defense anyways. But since coming back from this last injury, he has not hit at all and his defense has suffered as well. He has made 7 errors in 23 games. LF Sy Geller (28-5.7) has come from Syracuse to sit on our bench. Al Lewis (21-9.1) will move back to left, Ben Smith (28-6.7) will move to right and Ben Spencer (26-4.2) will get a trial in center.

Detroit Wolverines (39-20 .661 1st place in the Liberty League) at
Louisville Bourbons (30-30 .500 9.5 GB in 3rd place)

Lou Townley, Det. (25-3.4) (R 17-6 3.00 9.5-1.4-3.4 H-BB-K/9) vs. Count Childs, Lou. (31-3.1) (R 9-13 4.38 9.2-4.2-3.1)

Won - 10 to 7 in 10 innings

Our 1st extra-inning win of the season! In the top of the 10th, 1B George House (28-4.3) hit a 2-run inside-the-park home run to put us up. The next batter, C Jimmy Babcock (30-6.9) hit one over the fence for his 2nd home run of the year.

Townley allowed 11 hits, 3 walks and struck out 2. At bat, he had a hit and a walk and scored a run.

Childs gave us 15 hits, 5 walks and struck out no one.

We made 4 errors and Louisville made 5.

LF Al Lewis (21-9.1) bruised his foot and will be limping for about a week. SS John Powers (34-6.2) had a hit and 2 walks, stole a base and scored 2 runs. In the field he handled 13 clean chances, but flubbed his 14th try. RF Ben Smith (28-6.7) had 3 hits with a double, stole 2 bases and had 3 RBIs. 1B George House had 2 hits with a triple and the home run, drew a walk, scored 2 runs and had 2 RBIs. C Jimmy Babcock had 2 hits with the home run and 2 RBIs. 2B Al Hartford (22-5.0) had 3 hits with a triple and a walk, stole a base, scored a run and had an RBI.

For the Bourbons, ex-Wolverine CF Pat Womack (26-6.3) had 4 hits, stole a base, scored 2 runs and had an RBI.

Liberty League:
New York (3) at Indianapolis (9): Sal DeVaux (32-3.5) (7-11) over Miah Turner (26-5.3) (12-7). DeVaux allowed 7 hits, 6 walks and struck out 4. Rookie LF Fred Boss (24-6.0) hit his 2nd home run of the season. 3B Bill Lawson (30-6.9) hit his 6th. For the Gothams, 1B John Hillard (27-7.2) hit his 10th home run of the year.

Cincinnati (9) at Pittsburgh (4): John Stevens (30-8.2) (16-9) over Whitey Mathews (24-4.1) (10-11). For the Puddlers, 3B Adam Trombley (33-6.8), an ex-Red, hit his 2nd home run of the year. Pittsburgh has lost 5 in a row.

Cleveland (11) at Boston (2): Artie Boucher (24-6.1) (4-1) over Charlie Morlock (38-6.7) (8-15). Boucher allowed 10 hits, 2 walks and struck out 5. Morlock has lost 5 in a row. Rookie 2B Ed Engelhardt (22-5.0) hit a home run. For the Red Caps, C Frank Douglas (32-5.8) hit his 2nd home run of the season.

Grand National Association:
Baltimore (8) at Kansas City (9): Lew Burnett (26-4.5) (17-12) over Pop Yurkovich (35-5.6) (10-17). I think we can quit hoping that Yurky will ever have a winning season.

RF Abe Cupp (26-4.7) had 4 hits with a double, stole a base, scored 2 runs, including the go-ahead run in the 11th, and had 4 RBIs. For the Brewers, 1B Andy Byl (33-4.0) tied the game in the bottom of the 9th with a bases-loaded home run, his 2nd long ball of the year. He also hit a triple and scored 2 runs.

Brooklyn (8) at St. Louis (7): Ren French (26-4.9) (13-12) over Con Arnold (23-6.3) (4-6). St. Louis scored 3 times in the bottom of the 9th, but came up inches short when CF James McClellan's (29-4.7) blast was caught up against the center field fence.

Providence (10) at Chicago (13): Pete Rinehart (28-6.2) (8-11) over Ed Wison (26-7.3) (8-15). Providence out-hit Chicago 17 to 11, but their pitchers walked 10 batters. CF Tommy Casale (27-3.7) had 2 hits with a double and a walk, scored a run and had 4 RBIs.
