Philadelphia Decked, 9-3, by Sturgeons
Detroit took on Philadelphia in front of a lively crowd.

The Detroit Sturgeons defeated the Philadelphia Unions, 9-3, in Federal League action at Girard Grounds II. Detroit pitcher Bill Poole had a standout performance. Poole yielded 3 runs over 9 innings to notch the win. He scattered 8 hits, walked 2, and struck out 5. His record improves to 9-4.

Detroit used a well-timed hit by Napoleon Crane to capture the win. The first baseman socked a run-scoring double in the top of the fifth inning to put the Sturgeons ahead, 4-2. Though it was his only hit in 5 at-bats, it was important.

"Bill has the heart of a gladiator," said Detroit manager .

After today's action, Detroit sits at 19-13, while Philadelphia falls to 18-11.
