Habitants Prevail, 4-3, Over Detroit
The Montreal Habitants defeated the Detroit Wolverines, 4-3. Doing his part was center fielder Jim Compton, who went 2-5 with a home run, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. With the win, the Habitants sit at 49-31.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Oscar Corte? The Montreal second baseman had a run-scoring single in the top of the fourth inning to put the Habitants on top, 2-1. For the game, Corte had 1 double and 1 single in 3 at-bats.

"We just try to have good at-bats, whether we're winning, losing, or tied," said Corte.
