Federals Come Back Late to Clip Sturgeons
Tom Ewart, who is tied for 9th in the FL in wins with 6, had a strong outing for the Washington Federals against the Detroit Sturgeons at Capitol Park. The right-hander was a big part of his team's 4-3 win. The winning pitcher was Ewart, now 6-8. He tossed 9 innings of 5-hit ball, while walking 3 and fanning 3. Yes, it was a win for Washington; but their 9-21 record is still nothing to boast about.

A defensive lapse proved costly in the contest. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth, an error by the Sturgeons allowed the Federals to score the winning run.

"I'll probably toss and turn tonight," Detroit manager said, following the tough loss.
