Vanmeter Lifts Unions to 10-6 Triumph
The Philadelphia Unions and Pittsburgh Vulcans squared off at Girard Grounds II.

Due in large part to center fielder Charlie Vanmeter, the Philadelphia Unions sunk the Pittsburgh Vulcans, 10-6. Vanmeter went 3 for 5 with a home run and a double. He scored 3 runs and drove in 3. The 5th-place Unions have won 4 straight.

Pittsburgh had runners on 1st and 3rd in the top of the eighth. With one out, John Clark stood at the plate, hoping to find a gap. Instead, he hit into a double play. The score remained 5-3, Philadelphia. The Vulcans never could mount a comeback.
