Bluebirds 7-4 Winners Versus New York
The Brooklyn Bluebirds defeated the New York Knickerbockers, 7-4, in part because of right fielder Jackie Cooper. Cooper was 3 for 5 with a triple and 2 singles, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once for the Bluebirds. The win for the Bluebirds lifted their record to 86-74.

With Brooklyn leading 1-0 in the bottom of the second, Cooper hit a fastball from Chris Hull for a bases-clearing triple. It was his 6th triple of the season and put the Bluebirds ahead, 4-0.

"This was a total team effort," said Cooper.
