Elmer Higgins (41-6.4) has his Bourbons in town to begin a 2 game series today. It was supposed to be a 3 game series, but the weather was not nice yesterday. We are 7-3 against them so far this season and swept them in a 3 game series in Louisville almost a month ago the last time we met. They are 4th in the League in runs scored with 6.3 per game (Detroit is still 7th with 6.0). They are 3rd in runs allowed with 6.2 per game (Detroit is still #1 with 4.8).

Louisville Bourbons (38-39 .494 11 GB in 4th place in the Liberty League) at
Detroit Wolverines (48-27 .640 1st place)

Sammy Berry, Lou. (27-5.5) (R 6-5 5.09 13.1-3.5-1.5 H-BB-K/9) vs. Lou Townley, Det. (25-3.4) (R 23-8 2.52 8.9-1.3-3.7).

We get a little lucky and will miss William McLeod (28-5.6) this series because he is hurting.

Won - 6 to 2

Townley's 6th straight win falls just short of being his 7th straight exceptional outing.

Townley allowed 7 hits, 2 walks and struck out 3. At bat, he had a hit and a walk and an RBI.

Berry gave us 10 hits, 3 walks and struck out 4 (3 of them RF Ben Smith (28-6.7)). At bat, he hit a double.

We made 2 errors and Louisville made 1.

LF Al Lewis (22-9.1) led off the bottom of the first with his 3rd home run of the season and hit a triple the next time up, but my fancies of a reverse order cycle did not come to fruition. He scored twice and threw a runner out at home. RF Ben Smith hit his 8th home run of the year. He is now safely out-hitting last season's stats, though still a long ways from his MVP season of the year before. CF Fred Bianco (28-6.9) had 2 hits and a walk, stole 2 bases and scored 2 runs. SS Tom Nelson (22-6.6) had 2 hits. 2B Al Hartford (22-5.0) hit a 2-run home run and drew a walk and made 3 outstanding diving catches of line drives.

Liberty League:
Boston (3) at Cleveland (2): Joe Peters (31-4.9) (2-1) over Ed Pedersen (25-5.1) (13-23). Boston scored a run on an error in the top of the 9th to break the 2-2 tie. Peters allowed 8 hits, 5 walks and struck out 2. Pedersen allowed 6 hits, 5 walks and struck out 3. For the Spiders, RF Hunkey Morton (26-6.9), in only his 2nd game of the season due to recurring problems with his hamstring, broke his thumb and will miss 2 to 4 weeks.

Pittsburgh (3) at New York (4): Miah Turner (26-5.3) (16-10) over Whitey Mathews (24-4.1) (14-14). Turner allowed 7 hits, no walks and struck out 5. After New York lost 2 CF's yesterday, rookie CF Cinders Bradley (24-7.1) sprained his thumb and will miss 3 weeks. For the Puddlers, RF Ace Trimmell (29-5.0) hit his 4th home run of the season.

Indianapolis (2) at Cincinnati (1): Jimmy Euler (26-5.5) (10-8) over John Stevens (30-8.2) (18-15). Euler allowed 6 hits, 2 walks and struck out 2. At bat, he had 2 hits, scored a run and had an RBI. He has won 5 in a row and his Hoosiers have won 10 in a row and are now tied for 4th place! Stevens allowed 11 hits, 3 walks and struck out 2. For the Reds, 3B Lew Sheen (32-6.1) hit a home run.

Grand National Association:
Omaha (4) at Providence (2): Tom Lee (29-6.0) (15-11) over Tom Ashton (23-5.2) (1-1). Lee allowed 6 hits, 3 walks and struck out 6. Ashton allowed 7 hits, 3 walks and struck out 3. For the Grays, RF John Froom (38-6.2) sprained his thumb and will miss 5 days or so (it was a bad day for thumbs all around).

Baltimore (3) at Brooklyn (6): William David (24-3.6) (8-5) over Bill McGee (29-7.9) (3-3). David allowed 8 hits, 1 walk and struck out 4. McGee allowed 4 hits, 4 walks and struck out 1. RF Tom Campbell (29-3.6) hit his 6th home run of the season. For the Orioles, rookie 2B Kitty Covington (22-5.4) had 3 hits, stole 4 bases and scored a run. Original Haymaker LF John Hagadorn (37-6.3) pulled a hamstring and will miss at least a month.

Chicago (6) at St. Louis (2): Pat Seguin (23-4.4) (25-16) over Con Arnold (23-6.3) (6-7). Seguin allowed 8 hits, 3 walks and struck out 1. He is 16-4 in his last 20 decisions. Arnold had to leave in the 7th inning with a sore ankle and should take about 5 days to recover.

Kansas City (1) at Milwaukee (2): Zachary Buchanan (26-4.0) (20-14) over Lew Burnett (26-4.5) (20-19). Buchanan allowed 7 hits, 1 walk and struck out 5. He has won his last 5 decisions. Burnett allowed 8 hits, 1 walk and struck out 3.
