Cleveland Beaten, 5-3, by Chicago
League Park was the site of a competitive game between the Cleveland Spiders and Chicago American Giants.

The Cleveland Spiders got a superb performance from pitcher Mel Harder, but the Chicago American Giants still won the game, 5-3. Harder threw 6.2 innings of 5-hit ball. The victory makes Chicago 8-7.

Chicago used a timely hit from Carlton Fisk to get the win. The pinch hitter stroked a 2-run double in the top of the ninth inning to put the American Giants ahead, 4-3. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it made an impact.

"If we play like this, we can win a lot of games," Fisk told the Chicago Gazette.
