First baseman Preston Ward smashed 2 homeruns and had 3 RBI and Vern Law was
able to finish what he started and was credited with a complete game at Polo
Grounds where the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the New York Giants 10 to 5.
Ward was a thorn in the side of the hometown fans as he enjoyed a fine day at
their team's expense. He lifted one out of the park for a two run home run
in the 8th inning and delivered a solo blast (his 4th of the season) in the
9th inning. Pittsburgh finished with 14 hits in the victory.
Law(9-12), allowing 5 runs for the game, picked up the victory. Johnny
Antonelli(8-11) was the loser. He allowed 10 hits and 3 walks in 7 and 1/3
innings.

Art Fowler came through with a solid 9 innings at Sportsmans Park as the
Cincinnati Redlegs beat the St. Louis Cardinals by the count of 5 to 0.
St. Louis fell behind quickly as the Cincinnati offense came through in the
first inning scoring 2 runs using 2 hits. Johnny Temple led off and he drew
a walk. After an out was recorded, Ted Kluszewski came to the plate and
laced a one-base hit. Wally Post then ripped a base-knock knocking in a run.
Gus Bell followed and he would ground out scoring the final run of the
inning. That early scoring held up. Cincinnati managed 12 in their victory.
It was the 2nd shutout of the year for Fowler(13-3). Tom Poholsky(4-7) was
tagged with the loss. Birdie Tebbetts was very impressed with his pitcher,
Fowler, 'He had unusually good pitch placement this afternoon. It was almost
unfair - but a beautiful game to watch from where I sat'
