Toronto Downed, 8-5, by Wolverines
Toronto got a valiant performance from pitcher Bill John, but it wasn't enough to beat the Detroit Wolverines. Detroit won the game, 8-5. John threw 7.0 innings of 3-hit ball for the losing team. Detroit leads the American Baseball League Eastern Division by 2½ games.

Detroit pitcher John Bailey contributed a timely at-bat in the top of the ninth. With two down, he hit a fastball to left-center field for a run-scoring single. It was his 1st hit of the season and put the Wolverines ahead, 5-3.

"This is a very good team," said Bailey. "We have the chance to do something special."
