Kansas City Beats Birmingham, 4-2
Kansas City Stars starter John Nelson hurled his team past the Birmingham Black Magic, 4-2. In 9 innings, Nelson surrendered 8 hits, while striking out 6 and walking 2. He allowed 2 runs. The second-place Stars hiked their record to 65-55.

Bus Tolliver, who finished 5th in the GNL in slugging percentage with .426 in 1909, had a direct impact on the outcome. Tolliver contributed a 2-run single in the top of the fourth inning to put Kansas City up, 4-2.

"I don't feel you win baseball games by working harder than the other team or 'wanting it more,'" Tolliver told the Kansas City Daily. "You win just by scoring more runs."
