Westerners Post 5-4 Win
Elvin Baum did all he could to help his team win. In the end, though, it wasn't enough to keep the Pittsburgh Vulcans from being beaten, 5-4, to the Indianapolis Westerners at Western Grounds. Baum went 3-4 with a home run, a triple, and a walk. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. Indianapolis is now 27-39.

Kermit Nelson hit a bases-clearing triple off Andy Christenson in the bottom of the fourth, which put the Westerners in front, 4-2. Nelson had 2 singles, in addition to the triple. For the game, he went 3 for 5.

"I warned the team before the game," losing manager told reporters, "that I'm wearing the same pair of undies until we win."
