Reds Squash Solons, 12-2
Boston starter George Meakim kept the Columbus offense in check, while his team cruised to a win, 12-2. Boston occupies 4th place in the American League at 28-26.

The result might have been different, had it not been for Harry Taylor, the Boston first baseman. Taylor had a bases-clearing double in the top of the eighth inning to put the Reds ahead, 11-2. For the game, Taylor had 1 double and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

Columbus manager Fraley Rogers called the blowout loss "ugly."
