Not the best outing of his young professional career, but Boston rookie Ralph Caldwell did enough to lead his team to victory. On the day, the Boston Americans (2-1) outlasted the Cleveland Naps (1-2) by a 7 to 5 score.

Ralph Caldwell (1-0) picked up the win despite allowing 5 runs (4 earned) on 9 hits, 2 walks, and a hit batsman while striking out 4 in his complete game outing; Game Score 53. Jim Buchanan (0-1) was tagged with the loss in his major league debut after serving up 6 earned runs on 11 hits and 1 walk in 7-innings of play; Game Score 32. John McMakin covered the final 2-innings in relief in which he permitted 1 earned run on 2 hits.

The ball was in play rather often today, with Frank Chance (2 for 4, Triple, 2 Runs, 3 RBIs, Walk, Stolen Base), Bill Lange (3 for 5, Run, 3 Stolen Bases), and Dave Brain (2 for 5, Run, RBI) leading the Americans, while Harry Lumley (3 for 5, Double, Run, 2 RBIs), Jake Beckley (2 for 4), and Jimmy Sheckard (1 for 3, Run, Walk, Stolen Base) played well for the Naps.

Player of the Game: Frank Chance (Season: #1 / Career: #12)
