"Union Giants Slam Decatur Browns. - Springfield, Illinois - Special - For the second time this season the Giants of Springfield, Illinois trimmed the Decatur Browns, of the same state. Portam, pitching, and his pal Leslie Jones, catching, were too foxy for the visitors. Portam with thirteen strikeouts to his credit would have scored another shutout, but for Henrichson's bone-head play at third base, which marred the game, severe changes on the Giants' team would strengthen the club very much. Manager Mitchell, take notice. Attendance, 700."
