Lakeside Grounds was the site of a true pitchers' duel.

Cleveland right-hander Dan Hicks pitched his team to victory over the Philadelphia Unions at Lakeside Grounds. The final score was 2-1. Cleveland is 53-35 and Philadelphia, with the loss, 36-52.

The Blue Caps liked what they saw from Hicks. The 20-year- old pitcher had a commanding presence on the mound, limiting the Unions to 1 run on 6 hits over 9 innings, and striking out 4.

"If you can control the count and control the hitter, you're going to have the upper hand," said Hicks.
