Everman Stars for Quincy in Wide Home Schedule
The Quincy team benefited from strong hitting as Johny Castle had four hits in six at bats, Gelvin and Sherer added three each, Trainer collected two, and most players had one hit. They planned games in Rockford and Davenport with Moline next, as Stutz was reportedly set to rejoin the lineup despite previous doubts. Brownie stayed with the team, and fans were urged to boost ticket sales following a four-game lead shift by the Speeders.
