Red-Hot Pilots Win Again
The St. Louis Pilots downed the Cleveland Clippers, 6-1, at Lakefront Park. Stellar pitching by Bulldog Ayers had a lot to do with it. The right-hander, who finished 4th in the IA in saves with 1 in 1884, handcuffed his opponent all game. The Pilots, now 20-5, have played inspired baseball.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Charlie Scheer? The St. Louis center fielder had a 2-run double in the top of the third inning to put the Pilots on top, 3-0. For the game, Scheer had 1 double and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"Everything seems to be clicking right now for us, top to bottom," said St. Louis manager .
