Cleveland catcher Fred Johnson played a vital role in his team's 9-4 conquest of Philadelphia. He was 1-2 with a home run and 3 walks. He scored 3 runs and drove in 2 for Cleveland. Myron Baird, the winning pitcher, is now 12-8. He went 7 innings, allowing 3 runs on 10 hits, while fanning 8 and walking 1. The Quakers, at 59-67, have lost 4 in a row.

Cleveland center fielder Phil Chirico contributed a timely at-bat in the bottom of the fifth. With two down, he hit a slider to center field for a 2-run single. It was his 147th hit of the season and put the Bobcats ahead, 4-1.

"I felt good up there," said Chirico. "I saw the ball well."
