3B Jesse Flanders (28-5.4) is finally ready to play, so SS Ducky Foster (23-9.0) has been sent to Syracuse.

Manager Mickey Baker (45-7.5) has his Spiders in town to begin a 4 game series. We are 3-3 against them on the season and lost 2 of 3 at home to them 3 weeks ago the last time we met. They are 5th in runs scored with 4.5 per game (Detroit is up to 3rd with 4.8). They are dead last in runs allowed with 5.5 per game (Detroit is #1 with 3.6).

Cleveland Spiders (28-37 .431 13.5 GB in 6th place in the Liberty League) at
Detroit Wolverines (41-23 .641 in 1st place)

Artie Boucher, Clev. (25-6.1) (R 6-15 4.85 11.1-2.7-2.6 H/9-BB/9-SO/9) vs. Cinders Holmes, Det. (22-5.1) (R 8-5 2.29 7.7-1.5-3.6 in A Ball)

We are 1-1 against Boucher so far. Holmes is making his major league debut today. He was rated as the #9 prospect in the Liberty League before the season began.

With Flanders back, Ed Aldrich (24-6.8) moves back to second base. Reddy Daley (24-6.8) will move over to shortstop until Ed Engelhardt (23-5.0) is ready to play.

Won - 3 to 1
