Manager Elmer Higgins (42-6.4) has his Bourbons in town today to begin a 4 game series. We are 7-5 against them on the season and lost 2 of 3 against them in Louisville a month ago the last time we met. They are dead last in scoring with 4.2 runs per game (Detroit is #2 with 5.4). They are 4th in runs allowed with 4.9 per game (Detroit is #1 with 3.5).

Louisville Bourbons (43-62 .410 29.5 GB in 8th (last) place in the Liberty League) at
Detroit Wolverines (73-33 .689 in 1st place)

Jumbo Hoops, Lou. (23-6.5) (R 13-12 2.43 7.1-1.8-3.7 H/9-BB/9-SO/9) vs. Dave Frazier, Det. (28-5.7) (L 21-10 2.41 8.8-1.1-3.0)

We are 1-1 against Hoops, who leads the League in fewest hits allowed per 9 innings.

Lost - 7 to 6

We made 3 errors and gave them 3 runs in the 1st inning.

Frazier allowed 8 hits, 2 walks and struck out 4.

Hoops gave us 10 hits, 1 walk and struck out 1.

We made 4 errors and Louisville made 5.

2B Ed Aldrich (24-6.8) had 2 hits and stole a base. 1B Sam Cowan (32-5.1) hit a double, scored 2 runs and had an RBI. He is currently 3rd in the League in runs scored. LF Al Lewis (23-9.1) had 3 hits with a double, scored 2 runs and had 2 RBIs. He is batting over .350 since the 1st of August and had 24 RBIs in 23 games. 3B Jesse Flanders (28-5.4) had 2 hits and an RBI, but made 2 errors. His fielding has been superb this season, but not today.

For the Bourbons, RF John Cray (31-7.0) had 2 hits with a double, scored 3 runs and had an RBI. It was only the 2nd game he has started all season. He may start more because rookie LF Pete Armstrong (21-4.6) wrenched his back and will miss 2 to 3 weeks.

Aldrich now has enough plate appearances to qualify for the Batting Title. He is batting .322 and Louisville's Pete Hinde (33-7.9) is hitting .323.

Liberty League:
Boston (1) at Indianapolis (5): Jimmy Euler (27-5.5) (19-13) over Dave Wolf (26-4.7) (18-24). Euler allowed 5 hits, 2 walks and struck out 5. CF Dick Thacker (27-7.6) hit his 3rd home run of the season. For the Shamrocks, LF Charlie Warner (34-9.2) hit his 15th, tying him with Indy's Ed Wakefield (28-5.8) for the League lead. Wakefield had 2 hits, but no home runs.

Cincinnati (8) at Pittsburgh (1): John Stevens (31-8.2) (23-18) over Fred Horner (27-3.8) (3-7). Stevens allowed 3 hits, no walks and struck out 3. Manager/LF Silver Borresen (34-6.9) had 3 hits, scored a run and had an RBI.

New York (7) at Cleveland (2): Jack Roberts (36-6.1) (9-16) over Willard Clapp (26-4.3) (10-20). Roberts allowed 9 hits, 2 walks and struck out 1. Not his best effort, but his defense finally supported him, only making 1 error and turning 3 double-plays. At bat, he had 2 hits. 3B Ed Glass (29-4.5) hit a triple and his 5th home run of the year, drew a walk and had 3 RBIs.

Grand National Association:
Brooklyn (6) at Omaha (9): Tom Lee (30-6.0) (16-18) over William David (25-3.6) (22-20). CF Dave Todd (23-5.5) had 2 hits with a double and a walk, stole a base, scored a run and had 3 RBIs.

Chicago (2) at St. Louis (6): Jimmy Richards (25-0.9) (15-23) over Pony Stanley (25-6.2) (21-14). And then again, maybe there will still be no pennant race. Richards allowed 6 hits, 4 walks and struck out 4. LF Pat Matthews (25-5.1) had 3 hits, scored a run and had an RBI.

Kansas City (7) at Milwaukee (2): Piggy Lambert (24-8.2) (17-12) over Dave Ward (23-6.1) (12-13). Lambert allowed 7 hits, 2 walks and struck out 4. LF Lou Baggett (26-4.2) had 3 hits with a triple, scored a run and had 2 RBIs.

Elsewhere:
Down in the Tri-State League (B), John Novack (23-7.9) of the Mansfield Electricians tossed a no-hitter at the Columbus Senators. Mansfield won 5 to 1. Novack walked 3 and struck out 4. He improved his record to 20-8 with a 1.96 ERA. He pitched a 1-hitter a few weeks ago. He was playing college ball this Spring.
