Late Rally Earns St. Louis 7-6 Win
The St. Louis Pilots defeated the Cleveland Clippers, 7-6, in International Association action at Fuchs Park. St. Louis pitcher Zebulon Eldridge had a standout performance. The Pilots, at 83-27, have a comfortable 14½-game lead in their division.

Up to bat in the bottom of the ninth, 31-year old right-handed pitcher Bulldog Ayers had a chance to be the hero. Cleveland pitcher Dan Hicks had other ideas. But with one out, Ayers grounded out, driving in 1 run. The Pilots had themselves a dramatic win.

"Ah," said Eldridge in a jubilant clubhouse, "the sweet smell of victory!."
