Two more runs cross the plate all charged to Jimmy Ring. Ivy Olson, Zack Wheat, Hi Myers and Ed Konetchy all drives in runs, while Jimmy Johnston knocks home two. Starter Leon Cadore allows three earned runs on eight hits and one walk through 6.1 innings.

Hi Myers (.311, 57 RBI), Zack Wheat (.309, 49 RBI), Ed Konetchy (.321, 49 RBI) continue driving the Robins offense. Brooklyn and Cincinnati are once again tied atop the National League standings. The New York Giants defeat the Cubs at Chicago to remain 2.0 games behind the leaders.
