Harder Silences Chicago Bats
The Cleveland Spiders beat the Chicago American Giants, 4-0, at South Side Park. Starting pitcher Mel Harder was a big reason why. He held his opponent in check all game. The current losing streak for Chicago has reached 4 games.

Harder's performance can only be described as masterful. He notched 3 strikeouts in 8.1 innings while allowing 3 hits. Harder goes to 4-1 on the year with 62 strikeouts.

"Mel -- his tempo and rhythm were good," said Spiders manager Daniel Makonnen. "He was the key to us winning."
