Manke Excels, But Vulcans Win
Pat Manke did all he could to help his team win. In the end, though, it wasn't enough to keep the Chicago Cyclones from being beaten, 20-9, to the Pittsburgh Vulcans at Vulcan Grounds. Manke was 4 for 5 with a home run, a double, and 2 singles, while scoring 2 and driving in 4. George Ashe picked up the win, improving his season record to 9-12. He struck out 1 in 8.2 innings. The 4th-place Vulcans improved to 37-42.

Joe August was 2 for 6 with a double. He drove in 3 runs and scored once for Pittsburgh. The 29-year old catcher had a key at-bat in the bottom of the fourth. With no one out and the bases loaded, he broke a 4-4 tie with a run-scoring single off Jim Lucier. It was his 67th hit of the season.

"This game had a little bit of everything," said August.
