Browns Down Solons, 6-3
The performance of Tom Sexton proved critical in helping St. Louis beat Columbus, 6-3. The Browns shortstop went 3-4 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk. Jack Stivetts, the winning pitcher, improved to 24-12. He pitched 9 innings, giving up 9 hits and 3 runs, while striking out 1 and walking 1. The Solons, now 43-82, have lost 15 straight.

The outcome might have been different for St. Louis, had it not been for Matt Lenz, the four-time All-Star . Lenz stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the eighth inning to put St. Louis up, 5-3. For the game, he was 3 for 5, including 1 double and 2 singles.

Sexton told a St. Louis Gazette reporter that he was "gratified" with the win.
