Poole Silences Indianapolis, 13-0
Everything clicked on the hill for Bill Poole, as he hurled the Detroit Sturgeons to a shutout win, 13-0, over the Indianapolis Westerners, limiting them to 8 hits while recording 3 strikeouts and yielding no walks. He overpowered some batters with fastballs and buckled knees with sharp breaking pitches.

"We had our shot at him a couple of different times," Westerners manager said. "We just weren't able to get to him."

In 43 starts this season, Poole has registered a 33-10 record and a 2.38 ERA.
