Colts Lose as Sturgeons Stage Late Rally
The Detroit Sturgeons defeated the Louisville Colts, 9-3, in Federal League action at Derby Grounds. Detroit pitcher Bill Poole had a standout performance. Poole, who leads the FL in innings pitched with 271.1, went the distance for Detroit. He gave up 3 runs on 6 hits. At 49-26, Detroit is in second place in the Federal League.

Dave Greene came through with a big-time hit for Detroit. The third baseman smacked a 3-run home run in the top of the eighth inning to give his team the lead, 6-3. It was his only hit, but it was clutch.

"Bill giving us the start that he did was huge," said Detroit manager .
