Indianapolis Hoosiers (39-42 .481 14 GB in 5th place in the Liberty League) at
Detroit Wolverines (52-27 .658 1st place)

Sal DeVaux, Ind. (32-3.5) (R 14-11 4.31 10.0-3.9-2.3 H-BB-K/9) vs. Dave Frazier, Det. (27-5.7) (L 7-4 2.01 8.0-2.2-2.6).

Our old teammate DeVaux has won 8 starts in a row and has an ERA of 3.21 during the stretch. In his last 4 starts, his ERA is 2.25. He beat us 2 to 1 the last time we faced him.

Won - 4 to 3

Up by only a run, Frazier walked the lead-off batter in the 9th inning. The next batter then tried to lay down a bunt, but failed and instead hit one down into the right field corner. RF Ben Smith (28-6.7) quickly retrieved the ball, however, and gunned it to the cut-off man, 2B Al Hartford (22-5.0) who fired it home to nail the runner at the plate. The batter tried to take 3rd base on the throw and C Tom Trever (24-4.7) fired it to 3rd to complete the double-play and clear the bases of all offending Hoosiers! Frazier then got the final batter to fly out and we had dodged a bullet!

Frazier allowed 7 hits, 3 walks and struck out 6. None of the runs he allowed were earned, so his League-leading ERA is now at 1.82! At bat, he had a hit, but also grounded into a double-play and for some reason decided to try to steal 3rd base. He was not even close to being successful in this enterprise. He is not in any way shape or form a decent base-runner.

DeVaux gave us 7 hits, 2 walks and struck out 3. At bat, he hit a double and a triple and scored a run.

Each team made 3 errors.

RF Ben Smith had 2 hits with his 9th home run of the season and 2 RBIs. CF Ben Spencer (26-4.2) is our latest marcher in the injury parade. He sprained his thumb and will miss 2 weeks. I sent word to Syracuse for RF George Loverde (27-4.8) to return to Detroit.

Liberty League:
Pittsburgh (5) at Cleveland (10): Artie Boucher (24-6.1) (6-7) over Fred Horner (26-3.8) (1-4). SS Jesse Flanders (27-5.4) had 4 hits with a double, stole 2 bases, scored 3 runs and had 4 RBIs.

Boston (3) at New York (6): Miah Turner (26-5.3) (18-10) over William Little (26-6.0) (16-16). Turner allowed 10 hits, no walks and struck out 2. Little allowed 8 hits, no walks and struck out 3.

Louisville (10) at Cincinnati (9): Count Childs (31-3.1) (12-20) over Dan Burton (32-4.9) (2-2). SS Freddy Parsley (27-7.5) had 3 hits with a double, scored 2 runs and had 4 RBIs. For the Reds, C John Whelan (26-4.6) and 3B Lew Sheen (32-6.1) each hit their 2nd home run of the season. Cincinnati has now lost 6 in a row while we have won 6 in a row and our lead is now 9 games!

Grand National Association:
