IN THE NEWS: At Baker Bowl, Christy Mathewson and Hooks Wiltse combine to beat the Phillies, 2-0. Lew Moren pitches a fine game but loses. The Giants, playing .625 ball, are still 10 games in back of the Cubs. New York buys the contract of Larry Doyle for $4500 from Mattoon (Kitty L.).
IN THE NEWS: The last place Washington Nationals steal a record 13 bases off C Branch Rickey in a 16-5 win over New York. Rickey, acquired last February from the Browns, is pressed into service despite a bad shoulder because of the injury to starter Red Kleinow. Rickey's first throw to 2B ends up in right field and the subsequent tosses are not much better. He almost nips Jim Delahanty on a steal of 3B. In his eight innings, relief pitcher Lew Brockett helps Washington with a deliberate windup. Only pitcher Tom Hughes and 2B Nig Perrine are steal-less, while Hal Chase swipes one for New York.
IN THE NEWS: The Pirates top the Cubs 2-1 as CF Tommy Leach cuts down Harry Steinfeldt at the plate in the 9th innings. Deacon Phillippe is the winner.
