Fred Merkle had 4 hits and 3 RBI as the Detroit Tigers beat the Cincinnati
Reds by a score of 8 to 5.

Merkle was a thorn in the side of the hometown fans as he enjoyed a fine day
at their team's expense.  He cracked a solo homerun in the 2nd inning, banged
out a single which plated a run in the 3rd inning, delivered a one-base hit
in the 5th inning and singled resulting in a run in the 9th inning.
Cincinnati was not lacking for run support as they scored in 5 separate
innings, yet victory eluded them as they seemed to forget that pitching is
also needed to win ballgames.  

The victory was credited to Wilbur Cooper(1-1) who went 8 innings, allowing 5
runs. Slim Sallee(0-4) was the loser.  He was knocked around by Detroit,
allowing 10 hits and 3 walks in 7 innings.
