Jack McCarthy hits for the cycle for the Boston Braves against Philadelphia.
Kid Elberfeld has a 25 game hitting streak for Cincinnati.
Frank Chance has a 32 game hitting streak for the Boston Braves.
Detroit's staff of Christy Mathewson, Dummy Taylor, Ted Lewis, and Pete Dowling combine for 78 wins and drive the Tigers to the AL flag. Over in the NL, Cincinnati's pitching is second in the NL and the offense is best on the circuit. This sets up yet another great series for No Pepper fans to witness.
Fans are somewhat disappointed as Tiger pitching overwhelms the Reds' offense, taking the title in 5 games.
