| On Road, Philadelphia Beats Detroit, 7-1 | The Philadelphia Unions downed the Detroit Sturgeons, 7-1, at Riverside Park. Stellar pitching by Jack Malley had a lot to do with it. The left-hander, who is on pace to win 29 games this season, handcuffed his opponent all game. Malley, now 23-11, was the winner. In 9 innings, he gave up 6 hits, while striking out 4, walking 4, and allowing 1 run. Philadelphia has a record of 63-48, placing them second in the Federal League.
Philadelphia relied on the hitting of John Casey to pick up the win. The first baseman ripped a run-scoring single in the top of the first inning to put the Unions on top, 1-0. For the game, Casey had 1 triple and 1 single in 4 at-bats.
"I'm trying to keep it simple," said Casey. "Just do my job."
