Josh Gibson Blast Downs Monarchs In Philadelphia

The Monarchs met the Homestead Grays in the first game of a four team double header at Philadelphia's Shibe Park on August 7th. The Grays slipped past the Monarchs 3-2. Josh Gibson hit a two run blast off Lefty LaMarque in the fourth inning to plate the eventual winning run. The Monarchs were scoreless through eight before staging a ninth inning rally that fell short. In the second game, the Philadelphia Stars overtook the Birmingham Black Barons 13-9.

Stars Hand Satchel Second Loss In As Many Days

One day after getting roughed up by the Grays in the District of Columbia, Satchel took the mound against the Philadelphia Stars in Philadelphia's Shibe Park on June 25. Paige got lit up again, this time for five runs in four innings. The National League wasn't agreeing with Satch; in the four American League games I have stats for before the eastern trip, Satchel had allowed just three runs in 20 innings. Between June 24 against the Grays and the 25th against the Stars, he gave up 14 runs in ten innings.
