The Cardinals scored
three times in the bottom of the ninth to make the final score look close, but
they are really struggling right now. Nothing is going their way these days. Bill

clutch three-run double was the spark the Beaneaters needed today.
Chicago (NL) (H) 5
New York 3
The Orphans scored
three times in the bottom of the first and Mal Eason

they could to get their few runners into scoring position, but no clutch hits
were forthcoming. Boston second baseman Hobe Ferris
reached on an error to open the thirteenth inning and then two batters later

(8-9, 2.50) successfully fielded a sharp bouncer up the middle but then
proceeded to throw the ball down the right-field line, allowing Ferris to score
all the way from first. Cy Young
(18-2, 1.34) collected his seventh shutout of the season and kept Boston close
in the AL pennant race.
Milwaukee (H) 9
Philadelphia (AL) 1
Bert
Husting (2-5, 6.69) held the powerful Athletics offense to only five hits

get the win.
