Slumping Solons Lose Again, 11-2
The St. Louis Browns knocked off the Columbus Solons, 11-2, at Recreation Park II. Piggy Ward was a big reason St. Louis won. The third baseman was 4 for 4 with a double, 3 singles, and a walk. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. St. Louis reliever Charlie Hodnett picked up the win, upping his record to 2-5. John Kirby shouldered the loss. St. Louis raised its record to 77-47 with the win.

In the top of the first, with the game still scoreless, Ward hit a 2-run single to put his team in the lead.

Ward said the win provided a "big morale boost" for the team. "There's a good feeling in the clubhouse right now."
