Shortstop Honus Wagner went deep and had 4 RBI as the Athens Bobkittens
defeated the Limerick Hurlers 9 to 4 at Tiger Stadium.

The home town fans were very appreciative of the fine hitting performance
provided by Wagner.  He banged out a single in the 1st inning, lined a
base-hit plating a run in the 4th inning and lofted a three-run 'big-fly'
(his 2nd of the season) in the 6th inning.  Athens ended up with 14 hits for
the game while Limerick had 8. 

The win was credited to Carl Mays(3-2) who went 8 innings allowing 4 runs. Cy
Young(1-3) ended up with the loss.  He was knocked around pretty good, giving
up 5 runs in 3 innings. 

The Athens ballclub's record now stands at 15-11. With the loss, Limerick has
a record of 5-5 lately, 14-12 overall.
