Stars Beat Excelsiors, 9-4
The Indianapolis Stars beat the New York Excelsiors, 9-4, at Excelsior Grounds. Indianapolis first baseman Lionel Wade, who is tied for 6th in the IA in home runs with 2, collected 2 singles and 1 double with 1 run batted in. Charlie James, who is on pace to win 22 games this season, was the winner. He's now 17-30. The loser was Candy Lemmons. The 7th-place Stars are now 31-44, the Excelsiors 47-28.

With one out in the bottom of the second, Willis Gaylord had a chance to do some damage. New York was trailing 5-2, but had the bases loaded. Gaylord came to the plate against Charlie James, and grounded out, driving in 1 run. But it was not enough to complete a New York comeback.
