Amos Rusie pitched a complete game and Tom McCreery jacked one out of the
ballyard and had 3 RBI at Polo Grounds where the New York Giants beat the
Cleveland Spiders 10 to 1.

Cleveland was unable to recover after New York went ahead in the bottom of the
3rd inning scoring 2 runs utilizing 2 base hits.  After two were out McCreery
started the scoring when he ripped a solo home run.  Mike Tiernan came next
and he hit a bases-empty home run.  That early scoring held up.  New York
banged out 13 hits on the afternoon.  

Rusie(18-12) got the victory, allowing 1 run for the game. Sport
McAllister(0-3) ended up with the loss.  He surrended 4 homeruns in his 8
innings.
