"Sunday's game developed into a great pitcher's battle between Johnnie Davis, for the Gophers, and clever little Lefty Pangborn, for the Wonders. Those present witnessed some of the cleverest twirling seen on the local diamond this season. The support accorded both pitchers was exceptionally brilliant, and at the end of the ninth the score stood 2 to 2, but in the tenth the Gophers went two to the good by some heavy hitting by Wallace, Taylor, and Bobby Marshall. The local team failed to reach first in their half, and the game went to the Gophers, 4 to 2."
"Notes from the Champion Colored Gophers. - Willie McMurray, the St. Louis boy, is catching the game of his life and is hitting like a demon. Little Felix Wallace, with his hitting, clever base running and sensational fielding, is a big hit all over the circuit. On our tour of Iowa, which will last about three weeks, we are meeting with much success, and have won fourteen of the sixteen games played up to date. Davis, London and Taylor, the Gophers' great trio of twirlers, are pitching great ball, Steel Arm Johnny having lost only two games all season, one to Callahan's Logan Squares and one to the Leland Giants."
