Detroit Wolverines (1-2 .333 2 GB tied for 6th place in the Liberty League) at
Pittsburgh Puddlers (2-1 .667 1 GB tied for 2nd place)

Dave Frazier, Det. (28-5.4) (L 0-1 2.79 8.4-0.9-2.8) vs. Whitey Mathews, Pitt. (25-4.1) (L 1-0 0.90 2.7-0.9-1.8)

2B Jake Potter (33-6.8) is a switch-hitter, but has never hit lefties very well, even in the minors, so Pat Dunbar (25-8.3) will get the start. He is no relation to rookie CF Ren Dunbar (24-6.8). LF Al Lewis (22-9.1) has had a rough time with Mathews in the past, so Fred Bianco (30-6.9) will get his first action of the year. SS Ed Engelhardt (23-5.0) is 0 for 17 lifetime against Mathews, but will play.

Our old catcher, Evan Eckberg (32-3.5) is starting for Pittsburgh. If we cannot get anyone on base, it won't matter that his defensive skills are nearly non-existent nowadays.

Won - 4 to 2

We did not get our first hit until the 4th inning. 2B Pat Dunbar was beaned in his first plate appearance and his finger is broken and he will miss at least 5 weeks. SS Buck Rudd (33-4.1), who has never appeared in the majors before, was called up from Syracuse. He cannot hit to save his life, but is an excellent glove man. Mathews beaned 3 batters in the game.

Frazier allowed 10 hits, 1 walk and struck out 3. At bat, he had a hit and was beaned.

Mathews gave us 8 hits, 1 walk and struck out 3. At bat, he had a hit.

SS Ed Engelhardt (23-5.0) hit a double, stole 2 bases and scored 2 runs. C Jimmy Babcock (31-6.9) had 2 hits and was a beaning victim, scored a run and had an RBI. 2B Sam Boullion (28-4.8), who came in for Dunbar, had an RBI single in the 8th that gave us the lead.

For the Puddlers, C Evan Eckberg had 2 hits and an RBI. CF Al Steel (28-7.0) had 3 hits, stole a base and scored a run. Rookie SS Ed Hewitt (24-5.6) starting for the injured Jim Ware (34-5.6) hit 2 doubles, but broke his thumb and will miss at least 6 weeks.

Liberty League:
Boston (12) at Louisville (9): William Little (27-6.0) (1-1) over Count Childs (32-3.1) (1-1). You knew the Boston offense could not be contained forever and the finally busted loose in the 9th inning, scoring 6 times to take the lead. 27 hits and 15 errors in this game along with 10 walks and a hit batsman. RF Highball Baxter (22-5.7), who I tried hard to get Boston to part with over the Winter, had 3 hits with a double, scored 3 runs and had 2 RBIs. 3B Bill Gordon (31-3.7), who missed most of last year with an injury, had 3 hits and a walk, scored 2 runs and had 2 RBIs.

Brooklyn (3) at Washington (5): Pop Yurkovich (36-5.6) (2-0) over Al Green (25-3.8) (0-3). Yurkovich, who can still throw harder than anyone else, allowed 6 hits, 7 walks and struck out 10. At bat, he had 3 hits and an RBI.

Milwaukee (12) at St. Louis (4): Freddy Wood (31-6.3) (1-2) over Fred Barrow (36-4.7) (0-3). Wood allowed 8 hits, 5 walks and struck out 2. At bat, he had 2 hits and a walk, scored a run and had 4 RBIs.
