Washington Defeated by Pittsburgh, 12-4
The Pittsburgh Vulcans easily defeated the Washington Federals, 12-4, at Capitol Park, with shortstop Gary Vankirk a main contributor to the win. He went 2 for 3 with 2 singles and 2 walks, while scoring 3 times for Pittsburgh. The 4th-place Vulcans sport a record of 43-39.

Jerry Clay drove in one run for Pittsburgh. The 25-year old first baseman had a key at-bat in the top of the third. With no one out and the bases loaded, he broke a 2-2 tie with a run-scoring ground out off George Edwards. It was his 50th RBI of the season.

"A great game, a great day," said Vankirk about the win. "I can't complain."
