Reds Lose Two Hit Fight as Wicker Holds Beaneaters
Bob Wicker pitched a two hit game for Cincinnati tying a season record but lost 2 to 1 to Boston. He had one hit, one steal, one put-out, one assist, fanned five and walked three in a superb effort marred by an unlucky fence and late misfortune. The Cincinnati offense outplayed Boston in hits and baserunning yet could not overcome the oddly placed fence. Also a baby boy was born to Mr. and Mrs. Elijah Ford of West 12th Street.
