Boston catcher Paul Knight had a good game in a losing cause. His team fell, 6-5, to Detroit at Atlantic Avenue Grounds. Knight went 2 for 4 with a home run. He scored 2 times and drove in 3. The win was credited to Fred Harrison in relief. His record improves to 17-3. Layton Taylor took the loss. The 5th-place Terriers have lost 5 consecutive games.

Fresno, California-born Larry Adams came through in the clutch. In the top of the ninth, with the bases loaded and the Wolverines trailing 5-4, he hit a 2-run single to left-center to put Detroit on top.

"It never gets old," said Adams. "Winning, that is."
