Inactive League Teams as Rain Halts Most Diamond Play
Rain postponed most major league games yet left two National League contests in Chicago and St. Louis on the schedule. The Senators and Mackmen saw their pennant bid delayed, while the Giants and Pirates could not renew their chase. Philadelphia beat Chicago 7 6 as Wrightstone faltered late, Ring pitched well early, and Cardinals kept Hornsby benched amid a 14 7 win over Boston. Jack Smith starred with an unassisted double play, catching Gautreaus and Tared to first.
