Provincials Beaten, 12-3, by Brahmins
The Boston Brahmins had no problem beating the Toronto Provincials, 12-3, at Garrison Common Grounds. Ron Whitehead led the way. He was 4 for 5 with a triple, a double, and 2 singles. He scored 3 runs for Boston. Peter Gates was the winner. Over 9 innings, he yielded 3 runs on 5 hits, with 6 walks and 2 strikeouts. After today's action, Boston sits at 41-64, while Toronto falls to 55-51.

The Brahmins got a big hit from shortstop Cecil Mathews. Facing Toronto pitcher Henry Clancy in the top of the sixth, Mathews pounded a bases-clearing double to left. His 13th double of the season put the Brahmins ahead, 11-1.

Said Toronto manager after the blowout loss: "They did pretty much every facet of the game better than we did and that's why we lost."
