Len McDonald wires his star mare Margin with Stoughton Fletcher Jr to a stunning rise in harness racing. Margin won 10000 in her first outing and repeated with another 10000, drawing praise from old timers and racing fans for speed rivaling Sonoma Girl and hints of perhaps a Lou Dillon career.

In Milwaukee, the Brewers beat Indianapolis 5 to 3 during homecoming week as timely hitting and solid defense, including catches by Randall, Barry, and Barrett, secure the win and prevent a defeat for Graham.
