This game ended with non-pitchers tossing balls to the plate for both teams.

Won - 11 to 10 in 11 innings

In 9 innings, McDonough allowed 9 hits, 5 walks and struck out 1. At bat, he had a hit and scored a run and did not strike out! What happened to that great control he sowed earlier in the year? He has now walked 5 in each of his last 2 starts.
In 2 innings, Al Lewis allowed 2 hits, 2 unearned runs, no walks and struck out 1. He picks up his 1st major league victory! It is the 4th time he has appeared as a pitcher for the Wolverines. He was a mediocre pitcher back in college.

We got 12 hits, 14 walks and struck out once (Ducky Foster). McDonough beaned Piggy Lambert on the wrist and he had to leave after 5 innings. He should be fine in about a week, but can probably pitch in the meantime.

We made 5 errors and the Cowboys made 4.

Ed Aldrich had a hit and 3 walks, stole a base and scored 2 runs. Ducky Foster drew 4 walks, stole 3 bases and scored 2 runs. Al Lewis had 3 hits with a double and a walk, stole a base, scored 2 runs and had 2 RBIs. Ben SMith hit 2 doubles and drew a walk and had 2 RBIs. He got beaned on the hand and broke a finger and will miss a month or so. AH!! He was having his best season since his MVP year of 1885. Pat Dunbar had 2 hits and a walk, scored 2 runs and had an RBI. Sam King had 2 hits, was beaned and had an RBI. He had an amazing 11 putouts in center today without any errors!

For the Cowboys, Ed Anderson had 2 hits with a triple and a walk, scored 2 runs and had 3 RBIs. Lou Baggett had a hit and 3 RBIs, but made 2 errors and injured himself making a throw. He should miss about a week. CF Heinie Ashmore had 4 hits with an inside-the-park home run, his 5th long ball of the year, drew a walk, scored 2 runs and had 2 RBIs.

I sent for rookie RF Fred Floyd (22-6.0) to be here by tomorrow. He's been tearing up the International League (A), batting .398.

Liberty League:
Indianapolis (5) at Cleveland (4): Al Conradt (25-4.1) (4-16) over Tom McDowell (25-8.0) (8-10). Conradt allowed 10 hits, 4 walks and struck out 3.

Cincinnati (4) at Pittsburgh (6): Joe Peters (33-4.9) (7-9) in relief of Tom Lilly (29-6.4) over Charlie Branham (29-4.2) (16-5). Lilly had to leave in the 4th inning with an badly injured elbow. He will miss at least a year, they say. In 5.2 innings, Peters allowed 4 hits, 5 walks and struck out 5. Branham allowed 7 hits, 4 walks and struck out 3.

Louisville (4) at Boston (9): Dave Wolf (26-4.7) (7-13) over Jumbo Hoops (24-6.5) (10-10). Wolf allowed 7 hits, 2 walks and struck out 9 in Boston's 1st win with him as the manager. RF Jocko Breton (26-4.5) had 3 hits with a double, scored 3 runs and had 2 RBIs. CF Pat Stafford (28-5.4) hit a double and 2 home runs (#'s 4 and 5 on the season) and had 4 RBIs.

Grand National Association:
Buffalo (2) at Chicago (15): Pat Seguin (25-4.4) (19-10) over Wild Bill Perrell (25-7.3) (11-11). Seguin allowed 4 hits, no walks and struck out 4. At bat, he had 2 hits, scored a run and had 2 RBIs. 2B Eb Provost (25-4.6) had 4 hits with 2 doubles, scored 3 runs and had an RBI. Ex-Wolverine 1B Fred Negus (25-6.7) hit a double and his 2nd home run of the year, scored 3 runs and had 3 RBIs.

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