Browns Take Ninth Inning Win Over Detroit. Pirates Dominate Reds
Larry Lajoie filled in as a strong substitute in the first game against Chicago with three hits in three at bats and added a single in the second. Mitchell allowed one hit in the second game but issued four walks and loaded the bases in the ninth. Browns win on a ninth inning rally aided by singles from Shotton Williams and Johnston and a Pratt walk. Pirates sweep Cincinnati in a double header. Murphy's popularity among Cubs fans grows after a protest during a double header with St Louis that was forfeited to the Cardinals. Manager Evers was seen killing time as umpires intervened. The cost of experience is never fully realized until one goes to law.
