Snappers Drop 12-3 Decision to Electrics
The Buffalo Electrics routed the Cincinnati Snappers, 12-3, at Proving Grounds. William Harris, who finished 2nd in the GNL in hits with 134 in 1913, was one of the hitting stars. He went 3 for 4 with a double, 2 singles, and a walk, while scoring 3 runs for Buffalo. Frank Johnson picked up the save for Buffalo, his 1st of the year. The win for the Electrics lifted their record to 22-17.

A defensive lapse proved costly in the contest. In the top of the seventh, with the game tied, Forrest Vaughn was at the plate when Buffalo scored 1 on an error. The miscue enabled the Electrics to go in front, 4-3.

"I just tried to see the ball and put a good swing on it," said Harris.
