Detroit Downs Washington, 8-3
The Detroit Sturgeons locked up a win at Capitol Park, knocking off the Washington Federals, 8-3. On the mound for Detroit was right-hander Bill Poole. He played a major role in the triumph. Poole, who finished 5th in the FL in strikeouts with 255 last year, went the distance for Detroit. He gave up 3 runs on 7 hits. With the loss, Washington sinks to 1-2.

One big at-bat came with a runner on 2nd in the top of the sixth inning. Dave Greene, who finished 5th in the FL in triples with 12 in 1885, reached on an error by the SS, driving in 1 run off Washington pitcher Norm Schmitt. The Sturgeons went on to win the game.

"We did more than enough to get the win," said Greene.
