Christy Mathewson tossed a complete game at Shibe Park as the Bat Cracking
Bombers beat the Limerick Hurlers by the count of 11 to 5.

Frankie Frisch provided much of the offense.  He lofted a three-run 'big-fly'
(his 7th of the season) in the 4th inning and slapped a one-base hit which
scored a run in the 9th inning.  The Bat Cracking offense man-handled the
Limerick pitching staff as they scored in 7 of the 9 innings. 

The victory went to Mathewson(11-5) who went the distance allowing 5 runs.
Billy Pierce(2-3) was charged with the loss.  He was hit hard and gave up 6
hits and 4 walks in 3 and 1/3 innings.
