New York first baseman Willie Keeler contributed to his team's 8-6 win over the St. Louis Cardinals. Keeler, who is a two-time All-Star, went 4 for 5 with 1 run scored to lead the offensive attack for the Giants. New York, with the win, is 14-30.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Yale Murphy? The New York shortstop had a 2-run single in the top of the second inning to put the Giants on top, 3-1. For the game, Murphy had 1 double and 1 single in 6 at-bats.

In postgame comments to the New York Chronicle, Murphy said, "If the effort is there, the wins will come."
