Vulcans Turn Back Cyclones, 4-3
The Pittsburgh Vulcans defeated the Chicago Cyclones, 4-3, in Federal League action at Vulcan Grounds. Pittsburgh pitcher George Ashe had a standout performance. In 9 innings, Ashe surrendered 7 hits, while striking out 1 and walking 1. He allowed 3 runs. The 6th-place Vulcans now have a record of 16-24.

Steve Ferguson dealt the Cyclones a blow in the bottom of the fifth. Batting with a runner on 3rd and Pittsburgh leading 3-2, Ferguson, who finished 5th in the FL in runs with 62 in 1882, hit a 0-2 curveball for a run-scoring single.

"Because of George, we won that ballgame," said Pittsburgh manager .
