Detroit Wolverines (18-10 .643 0.5 GB in 1st place in the Liberty League) at
Cleveland Spiders (14-20 .412 7.5 GB in 6th place)

Jiggs Niedermeyer, Det. (25-5.8) (R 8-1 3.17 9.6-2.1-2.9 H/9-BB/9-SO/9) vs. Tom McDowell, Clev. (25-8.0) (R 5-5 3.99 11.0-3.2-2.8)

We are 0-1 against McDowell so far this season.

LINEUPS (* = LHB # = SHB)
DET - 1: CF Ren Dunbar (25-6.8) 2: 2B Sam Boullion (29-4.8) 3: 1B Sam Cowan (33-5.1) 4: RF Ben Smith* (29-6.7) 5: LF Al Lewis* (23-9.1) 6: 3B Dave Odekirk# (24-6.5) 7: SS Ducky Foster (24-9.0) 8: C Jimmy Babcock (32-6.9)

CLEV - 1: 3B Tom Nelson (22-6.6) 2: LF Effie Poff* (23-8.5) 3: RF Tom Steiner (23-4.9) 4: C Deacon Dubin (32-8.8) 5: 2B Cowboy Gray (27-7.8) 6: 1B Dave Kelly (27-6.0) 7: CF Ed William (28-6.0) 8: SS Ed Maynard# (25-3.8)

We jumped all over McDowell in the 1st inning. Dave Odekirk hit our 1st home run of the season, a mammoth blast to straight away center! I was beginning to think we would never hit one. We scored 4 times in the 1st.

Sam Cowan was hit on his wrist in the 3rd inning by McDowell and it looks like it is broken.

Won - 12 to 7

Niedermeyer allowed 12 hits, no walks and struck out 6. At bat, he had 2 hits with a double and a walk, scored a run and had an RBI.

In 8 innings, McDowell gave us 11 hits, 7 walks and struck out 3.

We made 4 errors and the Spiders made 5.

Ren Dunbar was hitless from the lead-off spot, but drew a walk and scored a run. He has gone cold as ice, going 0 for his last 17 and 1 for 34. Sam Boullion had a hit, scored 2 runs and had an RBI. Ed Aldrich had 2 hits, scored 2 runs and had an RBI. Dave Odekirk hit a home run and drew a walk, scored twice and had 2 RBIs. Ducky Foster had 3 hits and drew a walk, scored a run and had 3 RBIs. Jimmy Babcock had 2 hits with a double and scored a run.

Sam Cowan's wrist is definitely broken and he will miss at least a month. Odekirk will assume 1B duties and I sent for Patsy Roberts (35-5.5) to return to Detroit. I offered minor league contracts to a couple of old geezer first basemen who had been unemployed: Willie Martz (35-5.7) and Tommy Way (33-6.8).

Liberty League:
Pittsburgh (2) at Boston (4): William Little (28-6.0) (4-9) over Whitey Mathews (26-4.1) (9-4). Little allowed 11 hits, 1 walk and struck out 7. Mathews allowed 7 hits, 5 walks and struck out 1.

Cincinnati at Louisville and Indianapolis at Kansas City were both washed out.

Grand National Association:
Milwaukee (6) at Brooklyn (5): Tom McWilliams (27-4.3) (7-7) over Al Green (26-3.8) (9-6). McWilliams allowed 8 hits, 2 walks and struck out no one. At bat, he had a hit and scored a run.

No games were scheduled for today; the above contest was a makeup game.
