Philadelphia turned a good performance from starting pitcher Jack Malley into a 6-1 triumph over the Indianapolis Westerners at Girard Grounds II. The 7th-place Westerners now sit at 39-44.

Malley, the winner, is now 15-9. In 9 innings of work, he gave up 1 run on 4 hits, while collecting 4 Ks. He essentially shut down the Indianapolis offense.

"The key at this level is throwing strike one," said Malley. "Successful pitchers do it."
