Bather Helps St. Louis Cruise to 12-3 Win
St. Louis center fielder Bill Bather played a vital role in his team's 12-3 conquest of Chicago. He went 4-4 with a home run, 3 singles, and was hit by a pitch, while scoring 3 and driving in 2 for St. Louis. Frenchy Mack got the win, improving to 25-5. He worked 9 innings, giving up 3 runs on 8 hits, while striking out 8 and walking 2. The 97-57 Pioneers lead the Federal Association by one game.

The Pioneers got a big hit from shortstop Paul Watson. Facing Chicago pitcher Jack Thomas in the bottom of the seventh, Watson pounded a 3-run home run to right. His 8th home run of the season put the Pioneers ahead, 11-2.

"We did a lot of things right," said Watson.
