Athletics Earn Win with Late Rally
In a low-scoring contest between the Cleveland Athletics and the Detroit Giants, 29-year old right-handed pitcher Weldon Vipont proved to be the difference. The Cleveland right-hander earned props for his performance in the 3-2 Athletics win. Vipont, who is tied for 5th in the WL with a 0.98 WHIP, went the distance for Cleveland. He gave up 2 runs on 8 hits. With the win, Cleveland has a record of 18-25. Detroit falls to 18-26.

Cleveland used the clutch hitting of Edward Cornford to capture the win. The right fielder drilled a run-scoring double in the top of the eighth inning to give the Athletics the lead, 3-2. For the game, Cornford had 1 single and 2 doubles in 4 at-bats.

After the game, Cleveland manager Ulysses Barr applauded the team's effort. "They busted their humps out there," he said.
