Boston Red Caps (57-50 .533 12.5 GB in 3rd place in the Liberty League) at
Detroit Wolverines (71-39 .645 1st Place)

William Little, Bos. (27-6.0) (R 23-20 3.73 9.6-2.7-3.7 H-BB-K/9) vs. Lou Townley, Det. (25-3.4) (R 34-12 2.60 8.8-1.4-3.7).

We are 5-0 against Little this year.

The wind is blowing out to right, so the odds of Charlie Warner (33-9.2) not hitting a home run are about nil and thus the odds of us having our 3rd straight shutout our also about nil.

Lost - 13 to 6

Warner was 0 for 6, so that is some consolation. Not much, but some.

In 6 innings, Townley allowed 11 runs (6 earned), 11 hits, 1 walk and struck out 4. At bat, he hit a triple, scored a run and had 2 RBIs.
LF Al Lewis (22-9.1) came in again for emergency relief work and did better than Townley, but not very well. In 3 innings, he gave up 2 runs, 3 hits and 3 walks. He did not strike out anyone.

Little gave us 9 hits, 3 walks and struck out 3.

We made 5 errors and Boston made 1.

1B Jocko Cole (26-5.1) hit a double and a triple, drew a walk, scored a run and had an RBI. 3B Sam Boullion (27-4.8) hit a double and scored a run. SS Tom Nelson (21-6.6) had 2 hits, stole a base and scored a run. RF Ben Smith (28-6.7) had a hit, stole a base and had 2 RBIs.

For the Red Caps, RF Dan Abrams (29-5.1), who has owned Townley in their meetings, had 3 hits with a double and a triple and scored 3 runs. C Frank Douglas (32-5.8) hit a double and his 4th home run of the season, scored 3 runs and had 3 RBIs. Rookie CF Sal Griffin (24-5.0) had 3 hits with a triple, scored 2 runs and had 3 RBIs.
