New York got a valiant performance from pitcher Dave Torre, but it wasn't enough to beat the Brooklyn Bluebirds. Brooklyn won the game, 5-2. Torre threw 8.0 innings of 4-hit ball for the losing team. The second-place Knickerbockers dropped to 60-46.

Brooklyn needed the clutch hitting of Jackie Cooper to seal the deal. The right fielder swatted a 3-run home run in the top of the ninth inning to put the Bluebirds on top, 5-2. For the game, Cooper had 1 home run and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"It was a good night for them and a bad night for us," said New York manager Timothy Widholm.
