Blues search for pitchers leads to purchase of Dowling

The Cleveland Blues have purchased hurler Pete Dowling (pictured) from the Milwaukee Brewers. The Blues pitching staff features four pitchers with earned run averages above 5.00 and their search for help led them to Dowling. Pete hasn't exactly been a beacon of success for Milwaukee this season. Thus far, he's compiled a 1-3 record with a 4.60 ERA in 9 appearances (4 starts).

Kennedy shines in another Superbas win

Brickyard Kennedy (pictured) got the start today for Brooklyn and he was dominant versus the Pirates. Wagner's triple in the 9th set up the only tally for the Pittsburg offense. In the meantime, all Brooklyn's run production came from the 3-4-5 hitters. Kennedy is now 3-0 and the Superbas have run their season mark to an impressive 21-8.

Fraser goes the distance as the Athletics win again

Chick Fraser (pictured) ran his record to 5-4 with a complete game win over the Blues in Cleveland today. Lajoie and Harry Davis each drove in runs with doubles in the first inning that helped stake Fraser to a 4-0 lead before the fans could get settled. Fraser wasn't at the top of his game (allowing 7 hits and walking 5), but still managed to get the win.

PHILADELPHIA took the lead off Earl Moore in the first inning as they scored 4

runs on 4 base hits.  That was all the runs Fraser(5-4) needed.  Cleveland

had a chance to come back in the 9th but they came up short.  

 

The losing pitcher was Moore(1-6).  Jimmy McAleer was reflective after the

loss, 'We should have won this one, we just made one too many mistakes.

Son-of-a-gun, that added a couple more white hairs on this noggin of mine.'

Beaumont's bunt single leads Pirates to sweep

Ginger Beaumont (pictured) laid down a beauty of a bunt in the 12th inning, that brought in the lead run for the Pirates. Fred Clarke singled in another to follow and the Pirates got the 3-1 win and the doubleheader sweep over Brooklyn. Both starting pitchers were brilliant, carrying a scoreless duel into the 8th inning, but only Leever would figure in the final decision.

Lajoie leads 23 hit outburst as Athletics sweep Blues

In the 2nd game of today's doubleheader, Nap Lajoie (pictured) had 4 hits and 4 rbi's in the Philadelphia 17-10 win. Offense was the name of the game today, as Nap had three doubles (giving him 8 on the season), and got three hits from four additional players. Bill Bernhard, hardly sharp himself, got the win for Philly to run his record to 3-2.
