Goins Shackles Memphis in 3-0 Black Magic Win
Rube Goins, who was drafted in the 3rd round of the 1916 draft, was terrific for the Birmingham Black Magic in his team's 3-0 triumph over the Memphis Bears. His performance earned Goins rave reviews. Albert Spencer, summoned from the bullpen, notched his 4th save. Birmingham has now won 3 straight, while the Bears have lost 3 in a row.

Birmingham starter Rube Goins was a master of his craft. The right-hander allowed no runs on 2 hits over 8.1 innings.

"Rube did a good job of managing their lineup," said Birmingham manager John Henderson.
