Cincinnati closes out the season with 16-1 and 19-3 home victories over the hapless Cleveland Spiders. Sam Crawford has 5 hits for the day for the Reds. The Spider starter for game 2‚ Jack Harper‚ is understandably ill and Cleveland starts 19-year-old Eddie Kolb in his place. He gives up all the runs. Kolb runs the cigar stand at the Gibson House‚ and he became acquainted with manager Quinn during the team’s visits to the hotel. When he heard last night of Harper’s illness he volunteered. This will be his only appearance in the majors‚ but he will play and manage in the minors after this. Bid McPhee‚ considered the best 2B of the 19th century‚ plays in both games‚ which ends his long career. Cleveland ?nishes deep in the cellar with 20 wins and 134 losses‚ 84 games out. They also conclude a 36 game road trip (1-35) after setting a mark earlier this year with a 50-game road trip.
