We are in Cleveland today to begin a 4 game series against manager Mickey Baker (45-7.5) and his Spiders. We are 10-6 against them on the year and beat them 2 of 3 in Detroit 2 weeks ago the last time we met. They are 7th in scoring with 4.5 runs per game (Detroit is #2 with 5.4). They are 6th in runs allowed with 5.2 per game (Detroit is #1 with 3.5). Their League Park favors hitters, though hitting a home run to right field is a bit of a challenge.

Detroit Wolverines (69-30 .697 in 1st place in the Liberty League) at
Cleveland Spiders (45-57 .441 25.5 GB in 6th place)

Al Rice, Det. (23-7.6) (R 29-11 2.20 7.6-1.0-5.3 H/9-BB/9-SO/9) vs. Lou Townley, Clev. (26-3.4) (R 24-16 2.49 7.5-1.1-4.3)

We are 2-4 against Townley this season, though one of our wins was when he came in as a reliever.

Lost - 3 to 2 in 12 innings

A 2-out error by 1B Pat Dunbar (26-8.3) sank us. Townley has beaten us 5 times now; no other pitcher has more then 3 W's against us.

Rice allowed 4 hits, 4 walks and struck out 5.

Townley gave us 6 hits, 1 walk and struck out 6. At bat, he drew 2 walks.
