| Keystones Deal Miners 5-0 Defeat | The Philadelphia Keystones grabbed a win, 5-0, over the Pittsburgh Miners at Fitzpatrick Park. Philadelphia catcher Dick Christian was 1 for 3 with a home run and a walk, while scoring 2 times and driving in 3. Joe Kienle got credit for the win, improving to 13-4. He allowed no runs on 5 hits in 5.2 innings. Philadelphia occupies 5th place in the Federal Association at 80-62.
Philadelphia used a well-timed hit by Bob G. Murphy to capture the win. The first baseman socked a 2-run double in the top of the fourth inning to put the Keystones ahead, 2-0. Though it was his only hit in 4 at-bats, it was important.
Philadelphia manager Don Fox called it "a pretty good win."
