The St. Louis Cardinals bested the Chicago Colts, 6-5, at West Side Grounds 1894-1915. Billy Hamilton was one of the standouts. He was 3 for 4 with a double, 2 singles, and a walk, while scoring 2 and driving in 2. St. Louis starter Ed Seward was credited with the win after throwing 130 pitches over 9 innings. His record now stands at 22-23. St. Louis now owns a record of 75-65.

St. Louis used the timely hitting of Klondike Douglass to seize the win. The pinch hitter stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Cardinals on top, 6-5. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a game-changer.

"We cashed in when we had the chance," said St. Louis manager Craig Widner.
