Indianapolis Hoosiers (39-41 .487 13 GB tied for 4th place in the Liberty League) at
Detroit Wolverines (51-27 .654 1st place)

Levi Giddens, Ind. (35-4.8) (R 1-2 6.93 14.2-3.3-1.8 H-BB-K/9) vs. Al Rice, Det. (22-7.6) (R 7-4 3.06 9.7-1.4-3.1).

Euler has won 5 in a row and has only given up 1 run total in his last 2 starts.

Won - 3 to 2

Once again, Rice started out shaky, allowing 2 runs in the 1st inning, but again he got stingy after that and shut them out the rest of the way.
C Jack Henderson (27-4.5) made his major league debut today. In his first trip to the plate, he came up in the bottom of the 2nd inning with runners on 1st and 3rd and 2 outs already recorded. The 1st pitch was a ball. The 2nd pitch was over the plate and Henderson swung and blasted one to straight away center and over the fence to put us up 3 to 2 and end the scoring for the day.

Rice allowed 8 hits, 1 walk and struck out 4.

Giddens gave us 5 hits, 2 walks and struck out 3. At bat, he had 2 hits.

We made no errors and Indianapolis made 1.

Other than Henderson, nobody did much at the plate for us.

Liberty League:
Pittsburgh (3) at Cleveland (4): Ed Pedersen (25-5.1) (14-24) over Whitey Mathews (24-4.1) (15-15). Pedersen allowed 7 hits, 1 walk and struck out 3. Mathews allowed 8 hits, 2 walks and struck out 3. For the Puddlers, C Bumpus Dowdy (37-7.2) hit his 4th home run of the season.

Boston (13) at New York (6): Dave Wolf (24-4.7) (11-6) over Jack Roberts (35-6.1) (10-24). 2B Mike Stables (31-7.1), last year's MVP, had 3 hits with a double and his 6th home run of the year, scored 2 runs and had 4 RBIs. SS John Ingling (27-4.6) pulled a muscle and will miss a week or two.

Louisville (12) at Cincinnati (7): William McLeod (28-5.6) (19-12) over Charlie Branham (27-4.2) (23-18). For the Reds, C Cliff Robinson (29-6.1) hit his 2nd home run of the season. Cincinnati scored the 1st 6 runs of the game. The Reds have now lost 5 in a row while we have won 5 in a row and out lead is now 8 games!

Grand National Association:
Providence (3) at Brooklyn (6): Al Green (24-3.8) (18-19) over Ed Hodges (27-3.2) (9-23). Green allowed 8 hits, 1 walk and struck out 3. C Billy Boblett (29-5.4) hit his 5th home run of the season and rookie 3B Ed Cheney (23-7.8) hit his 3rd. For the Grays, RF Sy Cullum (24-5.9) hurt his shoulder and will miss about 5 weeks.

Omaha (5) at Baltimore (2): Tom Lee (29-6.0) (16-11) over Pop Yurkovich (35-5.6) (14-22). Lee allowed 5 hits, 5 walks and struck out 2. Yurkovich allowed 5 hits, 5 walks and struck out 3. Editor's Note: This was Yurky's 325th loss of his major league career. In real baseball, no one had that many. Cy Young (316) and Jim Galvin (310) are the only two over 300 and they both won more than they lost. Yurkovich has 245 wins.

Kansas City (20) at St. Louis (6): Al McClaughry (23-5.6) (26-14) over Fred Barrow (35-4.7) (17-17). The Terriers were in 1st place until the Cowboys came to town and utterly destroyed them in 4 straight. Only one of the games was lost by fewer than 10 runs. Kansas City out-scored St. Louis, 59-16 in the series. St. Louis used 4 pitchers. Barrow only went 3 innings and left with a sore heal. He only gave up 1 run and should be fine in a day or two. Con Arnold (23-6.3) gave up 16 runs in 4.2 innings of relief. The only pitcher to strike out a batter for St. Louis is no pitcher, but RF Sandy O'Connor (37-4.2), who pitched the final inning and struck out 2. He did allow 2 runs, though only 1 was earned. C Gene Stone (30-5.4) of the Cowboys had 3 hits with a double and a walk, scored 4 runs and had 2 RBIs. Rookie CF Heinie Ashmore (22-6.0) had 4 hits with a double and a walk, stole a base, scored 4 runs and had 3 RBIs.

Chicago (7) at Milwaukee (8): Zachary Buchanan (26-4.0) (21-14) over Pony Stanley (24-6.2) (12-9). 3B Dave Gray (26-4.9) hit 2 home runs to give him 5 on the season. !!For the Colts, RF Tom Megrath hit for the cycle, scored 2 runs and had 4 RBIs!! He is the 2nd player to hit for the cycle in the GNA. Detroit's Ben Smith (28-6.7) did it in 1884 while playing for the now-defunct Philadelphia Quakers.
