Provincials Secure 15-4 Win
The Toronto Provincials soundly defeated the New York Excelsiors, 15-4, at Excelsior Grounds, with left fielder Bill Lucier a major reason why. He went 3 for 5 with a triple and 2 singles, while scoring 3 times and driving in 3 for Toronto. Glen Nalley got the win, improving to 18-16. He pitched 9 innings, giving up 10 hits and 4 runs, while striking out 7 and walking 4. The loss makes New York 37-69.

The game turned with no one out in the top of the fifth. That's when Lucier hit a run-scoring single off Bill Nolette. It propelled the Provincials into the lead, 4-3.

"Even warm beer tastes good after a win," said Lucier.
