Cicotte was pitching again, so the results were somewhat predictable. Having said that, he pitched a better game than his first as he was determined not to look so bad as he had in the first. Accordingly, for much of the game he played well, and then made a couple of amateur errors, on purpose, that threw the game.
This was showing that, to a degree, it was hard for good players to throw a game and have it look like it hadn't been thrown.
The headlines were otherwise full of strife and concern. Labor riots and race riots continued to sweep the nation and labor problems were also getting into the headlines from the United Kingdom.
President Wilson seemed to be improving, however.
