Excelsiors Go Down to Defeat, 3-2
The Pittsburgh Vulcans racked up a win at Vulcan Grounds, bumping off the New York Excelsiors, 3-2. Dennis Catchings, who started for Pittsburgh, pitched effectively for his team. With this game in the books, Pittsburgh is 33-23, New York 35-21.

The Excelsiors had been locked in a 0-0 tie with the Vulcans going into the bottom of the sixth inning. That changed quickly when the 26-year old shortstop Bernard Adams came to the plate. Adams hit a run-scoring double on a 1-2 curveball from New York hurler Candy Lemmons. It was Adams's 3rd double of the year.

"We were in it," said New York manager . "We just didn't score enough runs."
