Spots Prevail, 5-4, Over Los Angeles
Walter Taylor helped his team muscle past the Los Angeles Lions, 5-4. In the game, the San Francisco catcher was 3 for 3 with 3 singles and a walk. The Spots, at 44-18, have a comfortable 16½-game lead in their division.

The Spots got a big at-bat from right fielder William Loosemoor. For the game, Loosemoor went 1-3 with a double. In the bottom of the sixth, with a runner on 2nd, he stroked a run-scoring double. His 11th double of the season gave San Francisco a 5-4 lead.

"Walter leaves the last at-bat behind him, whether it was good or bad, and goes up there and competes on every pitch," said San Francisco manager Henry Gray.
