Paul Derringer(7-11) was hit with the loss. He surrendered 4 runs and 8 hits in 6 innings. PITTSBURGH AT PHILADELPHIA Pirates......... 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 - 0 5 0 Phillies........ 2 0 4 3 0 0 3 1 - 13 17 0 Win:Moore(3-1) Loss:Swift(6-6) Homeruns- E.Allen(5th) Euel Moore pitched 9 strong innings and Ethan Allen had 4 hits and 3 RBI as the Pittsburgh Pirates were badly beaten by the Philadelphia Phillies, 13 to 0.

Philadelphia totaled 17 on the afternoon. Moore(3-1) went the distance for the shutout. Bill Swift(6-6) suffered the loss. He was unable to control the Philadelphia offense and allowed 12 hits and 3 walks in 3 and 2/3 innings. 'Moore gave us exactly what we needed tonight,' Jimmie Wilson said. 'When he threw the fastball he threw it for strikes. They were really fooled by his change. Most of the time he had them chasing it.' ST.

One out later, Mel Ott came up and he lined a single. Lefty O'Doul then singled giving New York the victory as 15,973 happy fans celebrated wildly. New York rapped out 13 hits for the afternoon. Al Smith(3-4) went 1/3 of an inning allowing no runs for the victory. The right-handed Schumacher lost his chance for a no-hitter when Pepper Martin doubled with nobody out in the 7th inning. Jim Mooney(3-5) took the loss in relief.
