The Cleveland Blue Caps beat the Chicago Cyclones, 10-5, at Lakeside Grounds. Cleveland center fielder Dick Stubbs, who is tied for 3rd in the FL in RBI with 84, collected 1 single and 2 doubles with 3 RBI. Jack McKinley got the win, improving to 28-19. He pitched 9 innings, giving up 9 hits and 5 runs, while striking out 9 and walking 5. Cleveland sits in first place in the Federal League at 72-37.

Eli Atwood had a big 2-run triple for the Blue Caps in the bottom of the fourth inning. With Cleveland trailing 2-1 and runners on 1st and 2nd, he got a curveball from Martin Bird, who is tied for 8th in the FL in wins with 27, and swatted a triple to left-center. It was his 6th triple of the season, and more importantly, it put the Blue Caps ahead, 3-2.

Atwood told a Cleveland News reporter that he was "delighted" with the win.
