Detroit Downs Montreal, 7-3
Detroit left-hander William Matz pitched his team to victory over the Montreal Habitants at LaSalle Stadium. The final score was 7-3. The winner was Matz. He threw 7.0 innings allowing 2 runs. The loser was Bob Valentine. Detroit raised its record to 35-30 with the win.

Bill Taylor had a big 2-run home run for the Wolverines in the top of the fourth inning. With Detroit leading 1-0 and a runner on 1st, he sized up a changeup from 29-year old left-handed pitcher Bob Valentine and punished it. The result was his 4th home run of the season, which put the Wolverines on top, 3-0.

"William had good arm action, good stuff," said Detroit manager Alex Wobbema.
