This Week in History

Upheaval in the Tsarist government leads to the Union of Unions forming in Russia, demanding universal suffrage.

Agile wins the Kentucky Derby

Game of the Week

The Chicago Cubs (11-12) and Boston Beaneaters (9-13) played over two full games in a 19 inning marathon. You'd have never guessed how long the game went given merely the 12-4 final score, but after going 9 innings tied 3-3, the Cubs and Beaneaters gave the fans a wealth of free baseball. Cubs rookie Big Jeff Pfeffer improved to 4-1, amazingly going the entire 19 innings on 246 pitches as his successful maiden campaign continues. Irv Young, another rookie, took the mound for Boston and matched Pfeffer blow-for-blow for 13 long innings. He would then be relieved by Vic Willis, who went 5 innings but capsized for 8 earned runs in the 19th inning, allowing Chicago to take an insurmountable lead that they would not relinquish. Every single Cub would score in this one.

Performance of the Week

Pitcher: Orval Overall is a rookie who has had his struggles this season for the Cincinnati Reds, and he was put in a tough position against the hot Pittsburgh Pirates while already having an 0-4 record. On this day though, Overall would not be denied, as he put together a 3 hit, 10 K shutout against Pittsburgh without much help from his offense. The 1-0 Reds victory tied them with Pittsburgh atop the National League. On the season, Overall is 1-5 with a 3.06 ERA.

Batter: The Phillies' John Titus has had an incredible start to the season, and that continued in Philadelphia's 11-2 win over Pittsburgh as Titus went 3/3 with a double and a walk. Titus would drive in two runs and score three himself, accounting for 5 of the runs scored on the day for the Phillies. Titus is slashing .355/.444/.539 and leads both leagues in slugging percentage while his 8 stolen bases are good for 2nd in the NL behind Cincinnati's Fred Ordwell.

Standings

The Reds surge in the NL backed by a sweep of the Brooklyn Suberpas and a split with Pittsburgh. The pitiful Cardinals offense continues to dig a deeper hole for themselves despite stymying the continued success of the New York Giants with a series split.

Very little to separate the American League teams as most float right around .500, including the Boston Americans who have a successful week in order to take them one step closer to reentering contention.
