Day 26 recaps
Brooklyn 5, NY Giants  4: Dazzy Vance didn't pitch to his usual standards -- he only struck out four and allowed four runs on nine hits -- but he went the distance and picked up his sixth win. He also had two hits, scored a run and drove in a run, plus had two sac bunts. .

Baltimore 15, NY Yankees 2:  The Elites batted around in both the seventh and eighth innings and scored 13 runs in their final three innings to rout the Yankees. Alejandro Oms scored three times and four other Elites scored twice each. Cristobal Torriente, Biz Mackey, Home Run Johnson and Dick Lundy each drove in two runs. Nip Winters allowed one earned run in six innings for the win, and Phil Cockrell threw three scoreless frames after Winters was pinch-hit for for the save..
