Indianapolis Westerners starter Bill McDonald was in the groove. He led his team to a win over the Philadelphia Unions, 6-2. The Westerners improved to 19-33.

Indianapolis won the game in part because of Stan Violette. The left fielder ripped a 2-run double in the top of the seventh inning to put the Westerners ahead, 3-2. For the game, Violette had 1 double and 1 home run in 4 at-bats.

"Bill gets tougher when he has to, makes a big pitch when he has to," said Indianapolis skipper .
