The Philadelphia Unions topped the Washington Federals, 8-7, with first baseman John Casey playing a big role. Casey was 4 for 5 with a home run and 2 doubles. He scored 2 runs and drove in 3 for the Unions in the win. Jack Malley earned the win to go to 2-1. He allowed 7 runs on 9 hits, with 4 walks and 6 strikeouts in 9 innings of work. Philadelphia, with the win, is 8-3.

The game was still up for grabs in the bottom of the ninth. With no one out, Casey hit a fastball from Norm Schmitt for a run-scoring double. The Unions, in dramatic fashion, had a walk-off win.

Afterward, Washington manager said: "We've hit a rough patch."
