George Tittman, starting his first game, caught the Purple infield flatfooted in the first of the second with a drag bunt along the foul line. Craig Woodruff, handcuffed by Bruninghaus in their preceding meeting, then stepped into one of the cocky Crusader's fast shoots and propelled it out into center for a triple. A moment later he scored on Captain Maguire's infield roller to give the Crimson its first two runs...

Abyssinia has been a member of the League of Nations in good standing since...
...Playing fast, errorless baseball, behind expert pitching by Paul Derringer who allowed only six hits, the Reds won, 2-to-1.
