Getting an impressive start from George Ashe, Pittsburgh beat Chicago by the score of 3-2. Pittsburgh is 5th in the Federal League with a record of 59-57.

Jim Frank, who is tied for 4th in the FL in bases on balls with 60, helped out the Pittsburgh cause in the bottom of the fifth inning with a run-scoring single. For the game, the catcher went 1-3 with a walk.

"I'm not out there for personal accomplishments," Ashe told a Pittsburgh Gazette reporter after the game. "I'm out there to help the team win, and that's what we did today."
