We begin a 4 game series with manager Elmer Higgins (43-6.4) and his 1st place Bourbons today to determine which team will be on top of the heap come June. They are 4th in runs scored with 5.7 per game (Detroit is still #6 with 4.8). They are 3rd in runs allowed with 5.1 per game (Detroit is now 2nd by a hair with 3.7).

Louisville Bourbons (18-9 .667 tied for 1st place in the Liberty League) at
Detroit Wolverines (14-7 .667 1 GB tied for 1st place)

Miah Turner, Lou. (28-5.3) (R 7-3 2.40 9.0-2.6-4.3 H/9-BB/9-SO/9) vs. Al Rice, Det. (24-7.6) (R 7-2 1.35 6.5-2.1-4.4)

We were 6-1 against Turner last year when he was twirling for the New York Gothams, but he pitched well. His team just usually failed to score many runs. His signing is a big reason for the Bourbons finding themselves in 1st place in their 3rd season. He is a distinct improvement over Count Childs, not to mention a lot more pleasant person.

CF Sam King (23-6.0) makes his major league debut today for Detroit.

LINEUPS (* = LHB # = SHB)
LOU - 1: SS Ed Riley* (25-4.1) 2: 1B Pete Hinde (33-7.9) 3: CF Tom Panozzo* (24-2.0) 4: RF Steve Giles* (23-4.2) 5: LF Pete Armstrong* (22-4.6) 6: C Wilson Terlizzi (26-5.6) 7: 3B Rit Durham (24-5.4) 8: 2B Tom Walker (26-3.8)

DET - 1: 2B Ed Aldrich (25-6.8) 2: LF Ren Dunbar (25-6.8) 3: 1B Sam Cowan (33-5.1) 4: RF Ben Smith* (29-6.7) 5: 3B Sam Boullion (29-4.8) 6: SS Pat Dunbar (27-8.3) 7: CF Sam King (23-6.0) 8: C Jimmy Babcock (32-6.9)

Both pitchers were a little rocky in the early going. Rice walked 2 in the 1st inning and after 5 innings, we were leading 5 to 4. But both pitchers settled down after that and not much else happened offensively in the game.

Won - 5 to 4

Rice allowed 4 hits, 2 walks and struck out 3. At bat, he had a hit.

Turner gave us 4 hits, 2 walks and struck out 1.

We made 3 errors and the Bourbons made 5.

Sam Boullion hit a double and walked twice and scored a run. Jimmy Babcock hit a double and had an RBI. Sam King went 0 for 3 in his debut, but reached on an error and scored a run and made 4 catches in center without an error.

For the Bourbons, rookie Steve Giles had 2 hits and knocked in all 4 of their runs. Pete Hinde had a hit and a walk and scored 3 times.

We are now in 1st place all alone for the 1st time this season!

Liberty League:
Cincinnati (8) at Cleveland (11): Lou Townley (27-3.5) (3-7) over John Stevens (32-8.2) (4-6). RF Tom Steiner (22-4.9) had 3 hits with a double and a walk, scored 4 runs and had an RBI.

Indianapolis (7) at Pittsburgh (14): Whitey Mathews (26-4.1) (8-2) over Sal DeVaux (34-3.5) (2-8). SS Bill Baker (27-3.6) had 4 hits with a double, stole a base, scored a run and had 2 RBIs.

Kansas City (6) at Boston (0): Al McClaughry (25-5.6) (7-3) over William Little (28-6.0) (2-8). McClaughry allowed 3 hits, 2 walks and struck out 5.

Editor's Note: Since the Boston Shamrocks are the only original Liberty League team left in the League, the proprietor (me) has deemed them immune from the normal rules governing the survival of franchises in the 1800's and will insure that they make it to the 20th century. They have not needed special protection in the past, but it looks like they might this year.

Grand National Association:
Providence (4) at Buffalo (2): Tom Ashton (25-5.2) (8-1) over Fred Barrow (37-4.7) (5-6). Ashton allowed 6 hits, 2 walks and struck out 7. Barrow allowed 10 hits, 1 walk and struck out 1.

Brooklyn (7) at Washington (6): William David (26-3.6) (6-3) over Sammy Berry (29-5.5) (3-4). Reddy Daley (25-6.8) made his debut for Brooklyn, playing center field. He had 2 hits, scored 2 runs and had an RBI. For the Monuments, SS John Ingling (29-4.6) had 3 hits and a walk, stole a base, and scored 3 runs.

Milwaukee (3) at Chicago (5): Pony Stanley (26-6.2) (9-3) over William Peterson (23-7.7) (2-6). Stanley allowed 10 hits, 4 walks and struck out 1. Peterson allowed 7 hits, 4 walks and struck out 4. None of the players the Colts got from Detroit played; perhaps they did not arrive in time.

Only games scheduled.

Down in the International League (A), John Novack (24-7.9) made his debut for Syracuse. He allowed 4 hits, 4 walks and struck out 6 and did not allowed an earned run, but lost to Troy, 3 to 0. The recent trades have unfortunately taken away a lot of the Stars' big bats.
