The New York Giants and Chicago Colts were greeted by an enthusiastic crowd.

The Chicago Colts picked up a win at Polo Grounds 1890-1910, taking down the New York Giants, 5-2. Starting pitcher George Van Haltren was a big reason why. The Colts saw their win-loss record go to 44-30. At the same time, the Giants fell to 22-52.

Bill Lange, the top prospect , had a direct impact on the outcome. Lange contributed a run-scoring sacrifice fly in the top of the sixth inning to put Chicago up, 3-2.

"The fans pay the tickets and help us do what we do, so we like to put on a show for them," Van Haltren told the Chicago Citizen.
