Washington Falters Again, Loses, 8-6, to Detroit
The Detroit Sturgeons picked up a win at Capitol Park, knocking off the Washington Federals, 8-6. On the mound for Detroit was right-hander Bill Poole. He played a key role in the triumph. In 9 innings, Poole surrendered 9 hits, while striking out 2 and walking 3. He allowed 6 runs. Detroit occupies 7th place in the Federal League at 33-39.

The game still hung in the balance with two out in the bottom of the ninth inning. Poole, however, wiggled out of a jam. With runners on 1st and 2nd and Washington trailing 8-6, Poole retired Marty Wilson, who grounded out.
