Federal League Games April 25th

The rejuvenated Boston Pilgrims brought their "A" game to town, scoring six runs off Liberty hurler Walter Johnson.  The Liberty rallied back, however, and the game see-sawed until the 9th inning.  Down 6 to 5, two outs and Oscar Johnson on first, "Bullet" Joe Rogan hit a blast to left for a walk-off home run giving Philadelphia the win.  A similarly dramatic finish played out in Washington as Babe Ruth hit his second home run of the day with Cap Anson aboard to  also give Washington a much needed 6-5 win over New Orleans.  Finally, Eddie Plank disappointed the New York faithful with a masterful complete game, yielding only a single unearned run as the Pittsburgh Grays displayed their impressive offensive potential.  Shortstop John Ward notched three hits and scored three runs.  Plank fanned 10 Knights.

Homeruns- B.Rogan(1st)
 
Walter Johnson tossed a complete game and Bullet Joe Rogan hit one over the
fence and had 3 RBI as the Philadelphia Liberty won in dramatic fashion over
the Boston Pilgrims by a score of 7 to 6 at Penmar Park.
 
Philadelphia scored the decisive runs in a big 9th inning with 2 runs
utilizing 2 base hits.  After an out was recorded, Oscar Heavy Johnson was
the sparkplug when he delivered a single.  After another out, Rogan stepped
in and he popped a two-run clout over the fence giving Philadelphia the win
much to the delight of the home town crowd.  Philadelphia had 14 hits for the
night.  
 
The win went to Johnson(3-1) who allowed 6 runs in the game. Sam Streeter(3-1)
was the loser in relief.  Philadelphia's manager was in great spirits in his
post-game interview.  Yet, when asked about his feelings after the thrilling
comeback victory, he volunteered, 'I'll tell you this much - I know how my
counterpart, Boston's manager, feels right now - and it's not very good.
It's terrible when you come up on the short end of one of these!'
 
NEW ORLEANS AT WASHINGTON
Jazz Kings...... 0 0 0  0 1 0  4 0 0  -  5  8  1

Washington Senators won in dramatic fashion coming back to beat the New
Orleans Jazz Kings by the count of 6 to 5.
 
Washington had the winning rally in the 9th inning scoring 2 runs utilizing 2
base hits.  Cap Anson started the inning off right when he lined a single.
Ruth stepped up to the plate and he cracked a two-run shot giving Washington
the victory and sending the 45,329 home-town fans home happy.  Washington
ended up with 14 hits for the game while New Orleans had 8.  
 
The victory went to Rube Currie(1-1) who went 1 inning, allowing no runs. Chet
Brewer(0-1) absorbed the loss in relief.  He surrendered 2 hits and no walks
in 1 inning.  
 
Washington's manager was all smiles after the ballgame, 'It sure was looking
pretty dim there for a while, but our guys never gave up - and neither did
our fans - they kept cheering us on.  What a sweet win!'
 
PITTSBURGH AT NEW YORK
Grays........... 2 0 1  2 0 0  2 0 0  -  7 12  2

complete game and John Ward had 3 base hits and scored 3 times as the
Pittsburgh Grays defeated the New York Knights 7 to 1 at Yankee
Stadium.
 
Plank(1-2) was very good in the win.  He didn't allow much, just 7 hits and 1
walk in 9 innings lowering his ERA from 3.81 to 2.83.  Pittsburgh had 12 hits
for the night.  
 
Burleigh Grimes(1-2) was given the loss.  He surrendered 5 runs and 9 hits in
5 innings.
 

Notice from the Office of the President, Federal League

The Office of the President, Federal League, announces that the New York Knights have traded King Kelly to the Philadelphia Liberty in exchange for William "Wee Willie" Keeler.  As usual, the trade is in immediate effect for today's games.

Continental League Games April 25th

Addie Joss got the start for the Model Ts, but once again it was Charlie Gehringer fueling their offense with a single and a stolen base, and then scoring on Chino Smith's double to center.  Mickey Mantle blasted his 4th homer.  Joss held the White Bears to a single run as Detroit cruised, 6-1.  Joe McGinnity yielded 5 runs in 5 innings in the loss.  The Kansas City Cattle Barons were unable to hold a lead going into the late innings, sacrificing a strong 7 inning start by Juan Marichal.  In a rare performance, Whitey Ford yielded 4 runs in two innings as the St. Louis River Captains rallied past the Barons in the top of the 9th inning.  Superman Pennington's two run homer was the big blow that placed St. Louis on top.  Finally, the Cincinnati Beergardners managed to salvage their contest against the Nashville Commodores, 6-5.  Cinci had built on early lead only to see Nashville battle back.  But in the bottom of the 9th, Travis Jackson drove in Spoony Palm for the Beergardners' game winner.

the fans - one minute they're laughing and screaming down all sorts of
unprintable stuff at our guys - the next minute - SILENCE! Yes sir, a very
enjoyable win tonight!'

Did You Know???

With the return of Willie Mays to his perch in center, the Boston Pilgrims are starting an "all one" set of outfielders (Clements, Mays and Aaron).

Federal League Games April 24th

Leroy Matlock was just good enough to contain the visiting Pittsburgh Grays, yielding only 2 runs despite giving up 10 hits and 3 walks.  Opposing pitcher Christy Mathewson only allowed 6 hits.  A big factor, however, was the ability of the Liberty to run on Grays' catcher Jimmie Foxx who does not have a strong throwing arm.  Philadelphia swiped 4 bases, making the most of their opportunities.  New York triumphed over a struggling Washington team, 5-1, with Ernie Banks and Frank Robinson each going deep.  The Senators had their "stopper," Smokey Joe Williams on the mound, so the loss was especially concerning for a Washington team that has now dropped four straight games and is lingering in the league's cellar.  Dick Redding was too tough on the New Orleans Jazz Kings, shutting them out with only 6 hits.  The closest New Orleans came to scoring occurred when Jackie Robinson tried to score from first on a ball hit down the third baseline, but was thrown out at home by Roberto Clements.  Boston managed only 2 runs, but, thanks to Redding, it was all they needed.  Hank Aaron had his third home run for Boston.

Continental League Games April 24th

The Model Ts triumphed again over their Nashville counterparts by a narrow 4-3 margin.  Once again, Detroit received a strong performance from their moundsman, Don Drysdale who yielded only a single earned run in his complete game victory, running his record to 3-0.  The Model Ts scored 4 runs, making the most of only 5 hits.  Once again, Detroit second sacker Charlie Gehringer was in the middle of things, drawing two walks in addition to his single, scoring 2 of Detroit's 4 runs.  Frank Wickware made his first appearance for his new team, pitching one scoreless inning in relief and striking out one.  Wickware had been traded while on the DL from Detroit to Nashville in exchange for Bob Lemon.  The Cattle Barons took another one on a cold and wet day in Cincinnati.  The field was in poor shape, and this redounded to the benefit of the hurlers as KC won a 2-1 contest.  Robin Roberts struck on 7 in 7 1/3 innings, and Cincinnati pitchers totaled 10 between them.  Despite bad weather in Chicago, the River Captain and White Bears locked horns.  River Captains starter Bill Holland had a no-hitter going in the fifth when he slipped fielding a bunt, and strained his ankle, having to leave the game.  The White Bears prevailed 1-0, with Old Hoss Radbourne getting a shutout.
