Yolton Fashions Shutout Against New York
Bob Yolton was in command in his outing against the New York Knickerbockers. He hurled the Cincinnati Packers to a 4-0 shutout victory, yielded 4 hits and chalked up 6 strikeouts and 1 walk.

"A complete-game shutout is fun territory for me," he told reporters in the postgame interview. "I had good balance and mechanics and was able to keep the ball down. When I do that, good things happen."
