The Cardinals, after building up an 8-3 lead, added what appeared to be a superfluous run in the eighth inning, but it turned out to be decisive in a 9-8 victory over the Phillies. As a result of their triumph, the Cards moved into a tie with the Phils for first place in the East Division. The Redbirds, who had lost three times to Dick Ruthven in two seasons, knocked out the Quakers' starter during a five-run outburst in the second. The Phillies came back with a two-run homer by Ollie Brown in the third and cut their deficit with another marker in the fifth before the Cardinals made it 8-3 in the sixth.
