Johnson Fuels 8-3 Detroit Triumph
Detroit right fielder Ralph Johnson played a vital role in his team's 8-3 conquest of Chicago. He was 4 for 4 with a home run, 3 singles, and was hit by a pitch, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once for Detroit. Wally Hunter was the winner. Over 8 innings, he yielded 3 runs on 5 hits, with 4 walks and 2 strikeouts. Detroit has a record of 66-42, placing them first in the Federal Association.

Johnson had a key at-bat for Detroit in the bottom of the second. With runners on 1st and 3rd, he hit a 3-run home run. It was his 13th home run of the season and gave Detroit an early 4-1 lead.

"We're producers not directors," said Johnson. "Produce a good swing. Can't direct where it goes."
