Detroit Wolverines (70-31 .693 in 1st place in the Liberty League) at
Cleveland Spiders (46-58 .442 25.5 GB in 7th place)

Jiggs Niedermeyer, Det. (25-5.8) (R 9-5 2.11 7.7-1.3-3.1 H/9-BB/9-SO/9) vs. Artie Boucher, Clev. (25-6.1) (R 11-20 4.49 10.5-2.8-2.8)

We are 3-2 against Boucher on the season, but have not hit him well at all. We had 7 hits off him last time we met.

Niedermeyer allowed 11 hits, 3 walks and struck out 6.

We had 17 hits, 4 walks and struck out 5 times.

We made 1 error and Cleveland made 5.
