Addie Joss pitched 9 strong innings as the Grand River Ghostmen defeated the
Bat Cracking Bombers by a score of 7 to 0 at Yankee Stadium.

Grand River did all the necessary damage in the 7th inning as they showed no
mercy on Bat Cracking blasting them for 6 hits and plating 7 runs.  The
crucial at-bat was provided by Billy Williams who thrilled the crowd when he
blasted a two-run home run (his 5th of the season).  Grand River had a total
of 10 hits for the game. 

For Joss(9-6) it was his 4th shutout this year. Christy Mathewson(13-9) was
given the loss.  'Joss was the man tonight,' Buck Guthrie said.  'He had just
about every pitch working.'
