The Boston Brahmins knocked off the Philadelphia Bells, 6-4, in National Alliance action at Independence Grounds. Boston pitcher and New York, native Will James had an outstanding performance. James yielded 4 runs over 9 innings to notch the win. He scattered 9 hits, walked 0, and struck out 4. His record improves to 9-3. Philadelphia is 9-11 after the defeat.

Who knows how it would've ended, had it not been for Dave Cleghorn? The 27-year old third baseman Cleghorn stroked a 2-run double in the top of the ninth inning to put Boston up, 6-4. For the game, he was 2 for 4, including 1 double and 1 single.

"It's about putting our team in the best position to win ballgames," said James.
