Clark, Giants Too Much for Colts
The New York Giants defeated the Chicago Colts, 14-7, at West Side Grounds 1894-1915. New York first baseman Willie Clark had a superb performance. He was 4 for 6 with 2 triples and a double, while scoring 3 times and driving in 3. Jesse Burkett, who went 9 innings, was the winning pitcher. He was charged with 7 runs on 8 hits, while walking 2 and striking out 8. His record now stands at 2-1. The win leaves New York with a record of 5-4.

With New York leading 8-2 in the top of the seventh, Clark came up to bat against Chicago pitcher Walter Thornton. Clark hit a fastball to left-center for a bases-clearing triple. His 3rd triple of the season put the Giants on top, 11-2.

"We'll relax tonight and get back after it tomorrow," Clark said after the game.
