Spiders Win at Boston, 4-2
Tom Gordon pitched well, but his team, the Boston Red Sox, still dropped a 4-2 decision to the Cleveland Spiders at Fenway Park. Cleveland's record now stands at 72-87, placing them 4th in the Federal League East Division.

Cleveland needed the clutch hitting of Howard Johnson to notch the win. The first baseman hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the first inning to put the Spiders on top, 3-0. For the game, Johnson had 1 home run and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"We put together a nice win," Johnson said.
