Toronto Beaten, 10-9, by Pittsburgh in 10
Vulcan Grounds played host to some dramatic action.

The Pittsburgh Vulcans cut down the Toronto Provincials by the score of 10-9 in 10 innings. Much of the credit went to shortstop Fletcher Hornback. Hornback went 3 for 5 with 3 singles. He drove in 3 runs and scored once for the Vulcans. The Vulcans win now puts them at 50-35.

Up to bat in the bottom of the tenth, 28-year old right-handed pitcher Dennis Catchings had a chance to be the hero. Toronto pitcher Norm Woods wanted to foil that plan. But with two outs, Catchings reached on an error by the 3B, driving in 1 run. The Vulcans had themselves a thrilling win.

"We battled our tails off to get this win," said Pittsburgh manager .
