Kansas City Cowboys (32-29 .525 10 GB in 5th place in the Liberty League) at
Detroit Wolverines (39-16 .709 in 1st place)

Dan Butler, K.C. (32-4.7) (R 7-11 6.46 12.5-7.1-3.4 H/9-BB/9-SO/9) vs. Ed Price, Det. (25-5.7) (R 6-1 3.17 10.0-2.0-3.7)

We are 1-2 against Butler so far, finally beating him the last time we faced him, scoring 16 runs.

RF Fred Floyd (22-6.0) makes his major league debut for us today.

LINEUPS (* = LHB # = SHB)
KC - 1: RF Ed Anderson# (21-7.5) 2: C Evan Eckberg (33-3.5) 3: LF Jimmy Harrison (27-5.4) 4: CF Heinie Ashmore (24-6.0) 5: 1B John Hilliard* (29-7.2) 6: SS Bev Bradley# (24-6.2) 7: 3B Kid Coblentz (25-3.4) 8: 2B Jim McCarthy# (27-7.5)

Won - 4 to 1

Price allowed 4 hits, 3 walks and struck out 2.

Butler gave us 9 hits, 4 walks and struck out 3.

We made 1 error and the Cowboys made 4.

Ed Aldrich had 3 hits with a triple, stole 2 bases and scored 2 runs. Sam King had 2 hits, stole a base and scored a run. I think he has supplanted Ren Dunbar now as the everyday center fielder. Fred Floyd, in his major league debut, had 2 hits and a walk and had an RBI.

Liberty League:

Indianapolis (6) at Cleveland (4): Billy Simonsen (24-8.0) (11-5) over Willard Clapp (27-4.3) (1-1). Simonsen allowed 11 hits, 6 walks and struck out 5. At bat, he had 2 hits, scored a run and had an RBI. RF Ed Wakefield (29-5.8) had 4 hits, stole a base, scored a run and had 2 RBIs.

Cincinnati (12) at Pittsburgh (13): Whitey Mathews (26-4.1) (15-8) in relief of Bill Henrichs (30-7.4) over Charlie Branham (29-4.2) (16-6) in relief of William Butina (26-5.6). The Reds scored a run in the top of the 9th to tie it up, but 1B Al Oglesby (25-7.6) won it with a 2-out single in the bottom half of the inning. Mathews faced only 1 batter to get the win. RF Billy Galloway (28-5.3) had 3 hits with his 3rd home run of the year, drew a walk, stole a base and scored 4 runs. For the Reds, RF Fleet Wilcox (32-4.9) hit a triple and a bases=loaded home run, his 6th home run of the year, scored 2 runs and had 5 RBIs. 1B Will Muller tore a muscle in his groin and will miss about 2 months.

Louisville (9) at Boston (2): William McLeod (30-5.6) (9-10) over Freddy Wood (33-6.3) (5-10). McLeod allowed 6 hits, 2 walks and struck out 5. 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:

C Billy Boblett (31-5.4) hit a bases-loaded home run, his 2nd home run of the year, drew 2 walks and scored 2 runs.

Buffalo (2) at Chicago (5): Skyrocket Howard (24-5.4) (13-7) over Fred Barrow (37-4.7) (10-12). Howard allowed 7 hits, 1 walk and struck out 4. Barrow allowed 7 hits, 4 walks and struck out 4.

Elsewhere:
John Piper (22-5.2), Omaha's 1st round pick in the December draft (the 2nd player picked overall), has had a rough start to his season with the Lincoln Rustlers. He lost his 1st 9 decisions in A Ball and 11 of his 1st 12. But today, he no-hit the St. Joseph Clay Eaters for 8 innings before giving up a hit with 2 outs in the 9th. LF John Walker (31-6.6), who Piper had earlier hit with a pitch, grounded a single into right field to spoil the bid. Piper struck out the final batter to secure the shutout. He walked 3 and struck out 7 in the game. At bat, he had 2 hits and 2 RBIs.
