Baltimore Dispatched, 7-5, by Minneapolis
The Baltimore Clippers could not turn a fine performance from center fielder Harry Simmons into a win. Instead, the Minneapolis Millers prevailed, 7-5. Simmons was 2 for 2 with 2 singles and 2 walks. He scored 2 times. Minneapolis pitcher Bill Burkhart got the win. He's now 1-0. Buck Guthrie was tagged with the loss. Ben Baird earned the save, his 8th, for the Millers.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Len Kraus? The Minneapolis catcher had a run-scoring single in the top of the fifth inning to put the Millers on top, 5-4. For the game, Kraus had 1 double and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"They beat us fair and square," Baltimore skipper Hank Luckenbaugh said.

The loss makes Baltimore 21-15.
