Black Cats Win, 2-1, at New York
The Cleveland Black Cats rode a solid performance from 38-year-old starting pitcher Clarence Byas to a win, beating the New York Black Kings, 2-1, at Kings Ballpark. The winning pitcher was Byas, now 10-12. He tossed 8 innings of 5-hit ball, while walking 3 and fanning 4. Ormand Trent picked up his 2nd save of the season.

Cleveland used the timely hitting of Bob Henderson to seize the win. The second baseman stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the seventh inning to put the Black Cats on top, 2-1. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

Cleveland manager Bill Pierce said his team played a "no nonsense" game.

With the win, Cleveland goes to 42-45, while the Black Kings fall to 54-33.
