Cyclones Suffer 5-2 Loss to Unions
The Philadelphia Unions got a good effort from starter Thomas Goss in defeating the Chicago Cyclones at Garrison Grounds. The final score was 5-2. Goss yielded 2 runs over 9 innings to notch the win. He scattered 7 hits, walked 0, and struck out 4. His record improves to 10-15. At 37-53, the Unions are currently 5th in the Federal League.

Philadelphia used the clutch hitting of Charlie Vanmeter to snag the win. The center fielder drilled a 3-run home run in the top of the ninth inning to put the Unions ahead, 5-2. It was his lone hit in 3 at-bats, but it was a crucial one.

"We understand we didn't play our best baseball," said losing manager . "We'll shower it off and be ready to compete."
