Federals Handed 11-4 Loss by Colts
The Louisville Colts spoiled a good performance by Washington third baseman Al Matthews, bumping off Washington, 11-4, at Derby Grounds. Matthews went 3 for 4 with a home run and 2 singles, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once. The winning pitcher was 24-year old right-handed pitcher Ray Ball. He tossed 123 pitches over 9 innings, allowing 4 runs on 9 hits. Louisville currently is in first place in the Federal League at 71-46.

Charlie Shanafelt had a big 3-run home run for the Colts in the bottom of the fourth inning. With Louisville trailing 1-0 and runners on 1st and 2nd, he sized up a fastball from Ronald Langford, who is on pace to win 14 games this season, and punished it. The result was his 18th home run of the season, which put the Colts on top, 3-1.

Louisville manager commended his team for "putting the hammer down."
