Detroit Gets Riveting Walk-Off Win
The Detroit Sturgeons did just enough to secure a victory over the Chicago Cyclones, 3-2, in 10 innings at Riverside Park. Nobody did more than pitcher Bill Poole. Detroit, now 9-6, has gotten their season off to a good start.

Up to bat in the bottom of the tenth, 25-year old catcher Harry Ransom had a chance to be the hero. Chicago pitcher Harlan Akins wanted to foil that plan. But with one out, Ransom hit a sacrifice fly. The Sturgeons had themselves a thrilling win.

"Tough loss," said Chicago manager . "But we'll learn from it."
