Loss to Habitants Extends New York Losing Streak
In a tight game between the Montreal Habitants and the New York Empires, pitcher Lawrence Connor was terrific on the mound. The Montreal left-hander helped his team to the 3-1 win. The 67-55 Empires have lost 11 consecutive games.

Had Paul Brower delivered a key base hit in the top of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and the bases loaded, Brower flied out. The score remained 3-1, Montreal, and the Habitants were out of the jam.
