The Louisville Colonels had to overcome a fine effort from Cleveland pitcher John Alder to win, 5-4, at League Park I. Alder went 8.2 innings and allowed 3 runs. Louisville reliever Jock Menefee picked up the win to move to 1-0. Alan Steele suffered the loss. Louisville is now 49-34.

Louisville relied on the bat of Honus Wagner to get the win. The center fielder ripped a bases-clearing triple in the top of the ninth inning to put the Colonels ahead, 5-4. For the game, Wagner had 1 double and 1 triple in 5 at-bats.

"It's the best feeling when you come through for your teammates," said Wagner.
