Minutemen Suffer 8-5 Loss to Pioneers
The St. Louis Pioneers used the hitting of first baseman Claude Kade to subdue the Boston Minutemen, 8-5. For the game, Kade went 2 for 4 with 2 singles and a walk, while scoring 3 runs. Lee Richardson earned the win after being brought in from the bullpen. The left-hander allowed no runs on no hits in 2.2 innings. His record is now 5-6. The last-place Pioneers go to 37-57.

Larry Gregory's at-bat in the bottom of the seventh was significant, coming with runners on 1st and 2nd and the game tied, 5-5. The St. Louis pinch hitter hit a run-scoring single off Merton Myers to put the Pioneers up.

Said losing manager Harry Barrell: "'I liked the effort, just not the results."
