Holiday Double-Headers!

The Reds signed P Ted Ryther (34-4.3) today and sent him to Hamilton of the International League (A). Whether it is just to warm up before coming to Cincinnati or to stay there as insurance, I am not sure. Several teams worked him out, however, and no one else seemed very interested, so maybe he is washed up.

Manager Paul Richards (47-5.4) has his Gothams in town to begin a 4 game series with a double-header today. We are 6-2 against them on the season, having swept them in 4 games in New York 3 weeks ago. They are 3rd in the League in scoring with 5.0 runs per game (Detroit is 5th with 4.7). They are 4th in runs allowed with 4.8 per game (Detroit is #1 with 3.5). They have won their last 6 games.

New York Gothams (26-28 .481 8.5 GB in 4th place in the Liberty League) at
Detroit Wolverines (34-19 .642 in 1st place)

Game 1
Jack Roberts, N.Y. (36-6.1) (R 4-4 1.66 8.2-2.1-3.0 H/9-BB/9-SO/9) vs. Dave Frazier, Det. (28-5.7) (L 10-7 2.26 8.6-1.0-2.9)

We have not faced Roberts this season. One of the hottest hitters in the League right now is 3B Ed Glass (28-4.5) and he is 12 for 23 (.522) with 2 home runs against Frazier for his career.

Won - 6 to 1

A 2-out hit in the 9th spoiled the shutout for Frazier.

Frazier allowed 7 hits, 2 walks and struck out 6. At bat, he had a hit and an RBI.

Roberts gave us 11 hits, 3 walks and struck out 2.

We made 4 errors and New York made 5.

3B Ed Aldrich (24-6.8) had 2 hits with a double and scored a run. CF Ren Dunbar (24-6.8) had 2 hits and scored a run. 1B Sam Cowan (32-5.1) had 3 hits with a triple, scored 2 runs and had an RBI. 2B Pat Dunbar (26-8.3) drew a walk and scored 2 runs and made 2 excellent plays in the field. SS Ed Engelhardt (23-5.0) hit a triple and drew a walk.

For the Gothams, the feared 3B Ed Glass (28-4.5) went 0 for 4 with a strikeout.

Game 2
Tom McDowell, N.Y. (24-8.0) (R 9-8 2.71 8.1-2.4-3.3) vs. Jiggs Niedermeyer, Det. (24-5.8) (R 6-4 2.29 7.5-1.4-3.3)

Won - 2 to 1

For the 2nd time today, a 2-out hit in the 9th spoils our pitcher's shutout. This time, since we only had scored 1 run, it also spoiled our lead. But in the bottom of the 9th, SS Ed Engelhardt rapped a 2-out single of his own to spoil the Gotham's day. He had 2 hits with a double.

Niedermeyer allowed 5 hits, no walks and struck out 2.

McDowell gave us 6 hits, 1 walk and struck out 3. He also beaned 2 batters.

2B Pat Dunbar hit a triple and scored a run and handled 11 chances in the field without an error.

Providence (6) at St. Louis (4) Game 1: Ed Hodges (28-3.2) (10-5) over Jimmy Richards (25-0.9) (10-7). LF Al Young (24-4.8) hit a bases-loaded triple and scored 2 runs.

Providence (9) at St. Louis (13) Game 2: Tom Simmons (26-4.9) (1-0) in his major league debut over Tom Ashton (24-5.2) (14-10). Simmons did not excel in the pitcher's box but did in the batter's box.

Only 1 batter reached base and that was on an error by the third baseman. He improved his record to 10-5 with a 2.18 ERA. Jake Cole (23-5.4) of the Wilkes-Barre Barons no-hit the Newark Trunkmakers in a 3 to 0 win. He walked 5 and struck out 5. He is now 10-9 with a 2.33 ERA.
