Chicago Orphans starter Frank Groves pitched well against the Cincinnati Reds at West Side Grounds 1894-1915, leading his team to a win, 3-2. In 9 innings, Groves surrendered 7 hits, while striking out 7 and walking 1. He allowed 2 runs. By defeating Cincinnati, the first-place Orphans improved to 57-44.

The Orphans got an important contribution from catcher Frank Chance, who in the bottom of the fourth hit a first pitch sinker to right-center for a run-scoring double. It was his 12th double of the season and put the Orphans ahead, 3-1.

"It was a real good effort by Frank," said Chicago manager Josh Fisher. "I loved the way he bore down."
