Shelton, Tigers March to 14-2 Victory
Thanks in large part to first baseman Crab Shelton, the Montreal Tigers beat the Kansas City Prairie Dogs, 14-2. Shelton was 2 for 4 with a home run and 2 walks. He scored 3 runs and drove in 4. Their 45-27 record puts the Tigers second in the International Association.

With Montreal leading 11-0 in the top of the sixth, Shelton came up to bat against Kansas City pitcher Tom Child. Shelton hit a curveball to right-center for a 3-run home run. His 2nd home run of the season put the Tigers on top, 14-0.

"What a dreadful effort on our part," said losing manager . "Someone will need to scrape us off the pavement."
