Detroit Beats Philadelphia, 5-2
Starting pitcher Bill Poole was a major factor in the 5-2 Detroit Sturgeons triumph over the Philadelphia Unions. The winning pitcher was Poole, now 7-2. He tossed 9 innings of 5-hit ball, while walking 3 and fanning 4. The setback makes the Unions 7-12.

The Unions had been locked in a 2-2 tie with the Sturgeons going into the bottom of the fifth inning. That changed quickly when the 29-year old left fielder Napoleon Crane came to the plate. Crane hit a solo home run on a 2-2 splitter from Philadelphia hurler Jack Malley. It was Crane's 2nd home run of the year.

"It takes a lot of things to win a ballgame," said Detroit manager . "It's usually not just one thing."
