Athletics Lose to Oilers, 2-1
Porter Barnes, who finished 3rd in the WL in wins with 18 in 1914, played a key role in a gritty 2-1 Pittsburgh Oilers win against the Cleveland Athletics. Barnes got the win, improving to 5-5. He gave up 8 hits and walked 3 over 9 innings. He allowed 1 run. The Oilers saw their win-loss record go to 24-25. At the same time, the Athletics fell to 21-26.

John Mainwaring came through with a big-time hit for Pittsburgh. The third baseman smacked a solo home run in the top of the seventh inning to give his team the lead, 2-1. It was his only hit, but it was clutch.

Barnes attributed the win to his team's "concerted effort."
