Clippers Handle Provincials, 5-4
Cleveland right-hander Eddie Montague pitched his team to victory over the Toronto Provincials at Garrison Common Grounds. The final score was 5-4. Cleveland is last in the International Association with a record of 41-84.

Tom Duren dealt the Provincials a blow in the top of the fourth. Batting with a runner on 2nd and Cleveland leading 3-1, Duren, who is tied for 8th in the IA in triples with 11, hit a 2-1 knuckleball for a run-scoring single.

"You never take a win for granted in this league," said Montague.
