Unions Drop Columbians, 7-6, with Late Score
The umbrellas came out during the Philadelphia-New York contest at Girard Grounds.

New York got a big-time effort from pitcher Martin Bird, but it wasn't enough to keep the Philadelphia Unions from winning the game, 7-6. Bird threw 8.2 innings allowing 7 runs for the losing team. The Unions now have a mark of 14-31.

The decisive blow was delivered by Leo Showalter in the bottom of the ninth when he hit a 2-run double off 22-year old right-handed pitcher Martin Bird to win the game for Philadelphia. The home crowd went nuts.

"The house was rockin'," said Showalter.
