Slumping Westerners Lose Again
New York left-hander Tom Samples pitched his team to victory over the Indianapolis Westerners at Columbia Field. The final score was 7-6. Indianapolis is in the throes of a losing streak which has reached 9 games.

Jack McKinley's at-bat in the bottom of the sixth was significant, coming with runners on 1st and 3rd and the game tied, 3-3. The New York right fielder hit a run-scoring single off Wilton Strickland to put the Barons up.

"Tom kept them off-balance, threw a great game for us," said Barons manager .
